In February, the buds have just emerged, and the air after the fresh rain is filled with the scent of flowers.

According to the records of historical materials, the petals of the Baige flower can cure a hundred diseases in medicine, so Xuanyuan Youxiong looked at Baige Island after unifying the north.

I don't know if it's because of the geographical location, or because of the restrictions of the Xuanyuan royal family, this magical medicinal flower has not been transplanted to other places.

With the disappearance of Baige Island in the Nanjiang River, the Changsun clan withdrew from the world's sight, and there was no trace of Baige Flower except for historical records.

After coming out of Hundred Flowers City, they rushed in the direction of the Salt Lake.

According to the introduction of the eldest grandson Yuyao, this salt lake is a channel connecting Baige Island and Daxia. The Apocalypse Mountain they came from, that is, Little Ape Mountain, is the island protection formation of Baige Island, and generally can only come from Great Xia to Baige Island, and the people of Baige Island cannot leave through this formation.

The salt lake is like a mirror, with Baige Island on the inside and Nanjiang River on the outside.

This hidden technology was naturally provided by his mother, and as for its principle, with Xu Xiang's cognition of a 21st century person, it is naturally impossible to understand the technology of a 22nd century person.

They had been walking west from Baige Island for three full hours, and because of the rain that had just fallen, they stopped in this valley.

The terrain of this valley is relatively gentle, and the protruding peaks on the left side of the mountain become their best barrier from the rain.

Now that the rain had stopped, he took his car, a black horse, and walked slowly to a huge tree of flowers

"After the new rain in the empty mountains, the weather is late in autumn."

The air after the rain, mixed with the buds of hundreds of flowers, exudes a faint fragrance, a little intoxicating.

The sound of horses' hooves behind him was accompanied by a slight footstep in his ears.

"Good poetry." With a soft voice of praise behind him, he turned his head and saw the eldest grandson Mingyue leading a jujube red horse and walked over.

"Is there anything else to come?" She asked softly.

"The bright moon shines among the pines, and the clear spring stone is upstream. The bamboo noise returns to the Huannu, and the lotus moves the fishing boat. Feel free to rest in spring, and the kings and grandchildren can stay. ”

"The bright moon shines among the pines, and the clear spring stone is upstream! Good poetry, good poetry! I didn't expect His Royal Highness to have such talent! The eldest grandson Mingyue looked at her with a smile and a very appreciative gaze.

Xu Xiang had a trace of melancholy on his face and said, "What's the matter, this song was not made by me." It's just that in this situation, I suddenly remembered this poem. ”

The eldest grandson Mingyue showed a hint of surprise and asked, "Oh? The person who wrote this poem must have been a great poet, right? It should be famous in Great Xia, right? ”

"Well, a great poet!" Xu Xiang remembered Wang Wei, the author of the poem.

...... No, why did I read Wang Wei's poems again? In his impression, Li Bai is his favorite poet, and he rarely reads Wang Wei's poems.

Thinking of the Xu Jiali he met before, she was a talented woman, and she liked poetry quite a lot. With just one song, she became Wang Wei's loyal little fan sister.

Maybe he was worried that the eldest grandson Mingyue would become the second Xu Jiali, so he immediately changed the topic and asked, "Has the young patriarch finished dinner?" We're about to leave after another stick of incense, do you have something to do with me? ”

"It's nothing, it's just that I've always been very curious, why did you intercede for me in front of the patriarch?" She asked.

"I think you have a very good strategic vision."

Eldest Sun Mingyue shook his head, "Your Majesty can believe this reason." ”

The smile on Xu Xiang's face froze, he didn't expect that although she looked young, she was so shrewd, and she could see at a glance that she actually had another purpose for letting her come.

"The young patriarch has misunderstood, and it is only for this simple reason." Xu Xiang didn't plan to tell her explicitly.

The eldest grandson Mingyue slowly approached him, the distance between the two was getting closer and closer, Xu Xiang instinctively wanted to retreat, but when he thought that he was a man, he was forced to retreat by a woman, which was too embarrassing.

The height of the eldest grandson Mingyue was only more than ten centimeters shorter than him, and she deliberately stood on tiptoe when she came over, and her whole face was about to reach Xu Xiang's face.

"Young Patriarch...... You, what are you doing? His heart was beating a little fast, and he didn't expect her to be so bold.

Her eyes were full of energy, and she looked at each other, and she breathed like an orchid, and said leisurely: "Your Highness, you don't like me, right?" ”

"Where...... How's that! Xu Xiang hurriedly said, but he had never been in such close contact with a woman other than Jiang Shenyu, so he was very nervous and a little slurred.

"No?" She smiled softly, "From the first time I was in the council chamber, I noticed that you were staring at me all the time. Moreover, when you were in the Changsun Mansion, you came to talk to me under the pretext of excuses. And, when I put on the streamer, your eyes were straight. How dare you say it...... Don't you like me? ”

I'll go! Big misunderstanding!

This is really a big misunderstanding! When he was in the council hall at that time, there were two people of his age in the entire council hall, she and Changsun Mingwei, and he already knew Changsun Mingwei. Naturally, I paid more attention to her.

After that, I went to find her, purely to find out the news of Ash Mountain, and to investigate the theft of the Baige Order.

Seeing that Xu Xiang didn't speak, she took a step back and widened the distance between the two.

Only then did he feel the pressure drop sharply, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"If you like me, don't hide it like that. After the counterinsurgency is over, you and I will go back to Baige Island to propose marriage to your mother!" She said with a big grin, in her heart, Xu Xiang was a sign of shyness.

Xu Xiang hurriedly said, "This ...... This, young patriarch, you misunderstood, in fact, I ......"

He had an idea, and thought of using Jiang Shenyu out as a shield, but before he could say anything, he was interrupted by her, "Don't call me the young patriarch, you can call me Mingyue directly in the future." ”

After speaking, before Xu Xiang could react, he directly led the jujube red horse and turned away.

"Hey......" Xu Xiang wanted to stop her and explain clearly, but the latter happily hummed the tune and turned a deaf ear.

"Changsha, ready to go! I'm going to rush to Yancun tonight! Xuanyuanding, who was sheltering from the rain under the stone wall, stood up and shouted at him.

"Oh, here it is!" Xu Xiang gave a response, patted the black horse lightly, sighed and said, "Alas, forget it, I'll explain it to her next time I have a chance." ”

Yancun is the westernmost village of Baige Island, where the Changsun clan built a dock and assembled a naval army of 300 ships.

Every six months, they dressed up as caravanserans, and when they wanted to go to Great Xia through the Salt Lake, they would enter the town of Changhe in the south to exchange supplies.

In addition to being their wharf, the village also has a salt mine, which is the only place where the inhabitants of the entire island get salt.

Before the sun set, they finally arrived in the village of Yan.

The Chengfeng Army had arrived here half a day earlier, and had already set up camp in an open space not far from the docks.

Except for Xu Shaoling, Zhai Ling'er and the little white ape and Xuanyuan who were sitting in a carriage, everyone else was riding horses.

This was the first time Xu Xiang had ridden a horse for such a long time, and he was a little tired.

Lu Tianyao took the lead in turning over and dismounting, came to Xu Xiang's horse, and helped his men to get off the horse.

"Whew, it's finally here! I knew that riding a horse was so tiring, so I didn't want to do it and refused to get into the carriage! He stretched and whispered.

Fortunately, he had already arrived, and on the way after that, he would rather walk than ride a horse.

The ships of the navy are still being prepared, and they can only stay in Salt Village for one night tonight.

The eldest grandson, Yuning, had already received the news that they were coming, but she still needed to communicate with the navy and arrange for tomorrow's boat ride.

Therefore, the task of reception was given to Xuanyuan Wushuang.

"The last general, Xuanyuan Wushuang, has seen His Majesty, seen His Royal Highness the Second Prince, and seen the Young Patriarch!" Xuanyuan Wushuang came over and saluted them.

"Commander Xuanyuan has worked hard!" Xuanyuan definitely helped him up.

"It's not hard! His Majesty and His Highness's camp, as well as the camp of the Young Patriarch and General Wei, were all ready. The last will take you there. ”

Although they were only stationed here for one night, the camp of the Chengfeng Army was still well guarded.

The camp was divided into two battalions, the north and the south, the cavalry, that is, the women's camp, and the north the infantry battalion, as well as the camps of the chief general and other teams.

Xuanyuan Wushuang arranged their camp between the east and west camps, adjacent to the commander's camp.

At the same time, more than a hundred soldiers, three layers of sentry posts and patrols on the inside and outside, protected the commander's camp very tightly.

Just from the layout of this camp, it can be seen that the commander of the Chengfeng Army is very strategic.

The camp is surrounded by mountains to the west, the salt lake on the back, and the salt village and wharf to the east.

If there is an enemy attack, the direction can only be southeast and southeast.

The cavalry battalion was placed in the south, and the battalion was determined according to the geographical location of its camp.

The cavalry has high mobility, and once the enemy attacks the camp, the cavalry in the west can react quickly, either facing the enemy head-on, or flanking the rear, attacking and retreating.

As soon as he settled down, a soldier walked in from outside the camp, knelt down towards Xuanyuan Wushuang, and said, "Commander Qiqi, Qin Xian, the village chief of Yan Village, heard that the young patriarch and General Wei were coming, and he specially came to pay a visit. ”

"Oh, you wait a minute."

Xuanyuan Wushuang said to his children: "Young Patriarch, General Wei, this Qin Xian, have you seen it?" ”

"Let him come." Eldest Sun Mingyue nodded slightly and said.

Not long after, the soldiers walked out into the camp with two men, one older and the other young.

The older one was dressed in a coarse cloth garment, and although the fabric was a little unpolished, it was still neat and clean.

The younger one, about fifteen or sixteen years old, was limping and had a strip of cloth tied to his calf, which seemed to be wounded.

"Qin Xian, the head of the villain Yan Village, and his son Qin Mo have seen the young patriarch and General Wei!" The older man knelt down in salute, and the younger man knelt down with great difficulty.

"Since your legs and feet are not good, don't kneel." The eldest grandson Mingyue opened her mouth and said, and then said to Qin Xian, "You can get up too." ”

"Patriarch Xie Shao!"

Because Xuanyuan Ding and Xu Xiang sat in the main seat, the eldest grandson Mingyue and the second daughter sat in the second seat. As the head of a village, Qin Xian naturally knew etiquette, and on Baige Island, there were actually two men in the position above the young patriarch, which made him wonder.

"I wonder who these two adults are?"

"Don't ask what you shouldn't." The eldest grandson Mingyue said lightly, "You came to see me, is there something wrong?" ”

"Oooh!" Qin Xian hurriedly responded, since she didn't tell the identities of the two, she was not qualified to know. So he explained his intention, "Young patriarch, it's like this." You finally arrived in Yancun, and our village naturally wants to do a part of the friendship of the landlord, so I would like to invite you and General Wei to Yancun for a banquet. ”

"If that's all there is to it, you can go back now. Naturally, I'll have to go to Yancun later. ”

"In addition to this matter, the villain has a plea!"

"Tell me about it."

Qin Xian pulled the young man over, pointed to his leg and said, "I heard that you are going to Daxia tomorrow, and I would like to implore you to bring Xiao'er." ”

Eldest Sun Mingyue glanced at Qin Mo lightly and asked, "What's wrong with him?" ”

"That's right, a month ago, my stubborn son fell and injured his leg, but fortunately, a doctor helped to save this leg. However, to heal his leg, only Changhe Town had an external medicine, and because it was not common, it was rarely used. So, now all the inventory on Hyaka Island has been depleted! ”

He said with a hint of pity, "And the next caravan to Changhe Town will be five months away, and his legs won't be able to drag it until then." If you can't get that medicine within ten days, this leg will be completely useless! Therefore, the villain dared to come to see the young patriarch in the hope that you could take him out......"

"No way!" The eldest grandson Mingyue refused, "Baige Island has the rules of Baige Island, and your son's leg injury is also caused by his stubbornness, so I can't complain about others!" Moreover, we are not going to Changhe Town this time. Let's go....."

"Young Patriarch!" Qin Xian, a man about forty years old, cried when he said he cried, knelt down on his knees, and begged: "Please!" ”

"It's useless for you to beg me. No is no good! The eldest grandson Mingyue said mercilessly.

The boy limped and leaned over to help him up, "Father, forget it." The young patriarch is right, the children themselves are stubborn and can't complain about others. We...... Let's go back. ”

However, Qin Xian seemed to be unwilling to give up, and he turned his hopeful gaze to the eldest grandson Mingwei.

"General Wei, our Qin clan in Yan Village is also a branch of the Qin clan in Hundred Flowers City. When you married the third young master, I also went to bless you! For the sake of my relatives, please help me! ”

Eldest Sun Mingwei's face instantly became very unsightly, she was the most dazzling person in the generation of Hundred Flowers City, in order to help Eldest Sun Mingyue take the blame, she had to marry the abolished third young master of the Qin family, which is equivalent to saying that she was widowed.

This incident, so to speak, is an unspeakable thing in her life.

Of course, most people don't know about this. Everyone thought that she was in love with the third son of the Qin family, so she got married.

"Uncle Qin, please forgive Mingwei for this matter, and there is nothing she can do!" She shook her head, as if she didn't intend to help.

A flash of despair flashed in Qin Xian's eyes, and he sat on the ground with his buttocks, looking very decadent.

Xu Xiang sighed, "Alas...... Pity the hearts of parents all over the world! ”

"Okay, you don't need to talk about this matter anymore, you can go!" The eldest grandson Mingyue waved his hand.

The soldiers in the camp came over and were about to come over and pull Qin Xian out.

Qin Mo walked over, spread his hands, and said, "Don't work for the two military masters, my father and I will go out by ourselves." ”

Seeing him say this, the two soldiers looked at the eldest grandson Mingyue, and when they saw the latter nodding slightly, they retreated.

Qin Mo turned around, first helped Qin Xian, who was already very depressed, to pick him up, and whispered, "Dad, let's go." ”

Then he knelt down with one foot, and then moved with difficulty with the other, as if he was about to kneel.

"I said, if your legs and feet are not good, don't kneel." The eldest grandson Mingyue turned her head slightly, and seemed a little unbearable.

In the end, he still knelt on his knees with difficulty, very standard, and saluted her with the tips of his fingers, "Thank you, young patriarch!" We're quitting! ”

A different color flashed in Xu Xiang's eyes, this young man is so sensible and polite, this thigh injury should not be caused by the stubbornness in Qin Xian's mouth.

At this moment, he suddenly felt some sympathy for him.

He just wanted to speak, but Xuanyuan Ding seemed to notice his movements, grabbed his hand, and shook his head slightly.

After the father and son left the camp, the others, including the eldest grandson Mingyue and others, also left one after another and returned to their own camp.

"Your Majesty, this young man is so pitiful, why didn't you let me open my mouth to persuade the young patriarch just now?" Xu Xiang asked puzzled.

Xuanyuan Ding sighed and said, "Our expedition this time, except for the high-level of the Changsun Clan, no one else knows about it. What if I go out with this teenager, and the news is known to the people of Baige Island after he returns? ”

"What to do? If you know, you'll know. ”

"No!" Xuanyuan Ding shook his head, "Think about it, what is the status of the Chengfeng Army in the hearts of the residents of Baige Island?" How important they are to hold the Mountain of Ashes, you should know. People like Eldest Sun Mingyue and Eldest Sun Mingwei didn't want us to take the Chengfeng Army away. Not to mention the rest of the residents! ”

"However, by the time they knew, the Wind Army had already left! Even if they tried to stop it, they couldn't stop it, right? Xu Xiang said with some assumptions.

"That's right! They can't stop it! However, what a blow this will be to the hearts of the people of Baige Island, the people's will is unavailable, and it is extremely detrimental to the defense of Ash Mountain. ”

Hearing what Xuanyuan Ding said, Xu Xiang came to his senses.

Thankfully, he held himself down.

Xuanyuan Ding saw Xu Xiang's somewhat annoyed look, smiled again, and said, "Of course, you don't want to be so disappointed. Didn't you see the expression of the eldest grandson Mingyue just now? Presumably she also has some sympathy for this young man, and it is estimated that she will find a way from other places. Let's wait and see! ”

"Your Majesty has seen it thoroughly! If you don't say it, why are you Your Majesty, and I'm just a prince! Xu Xiang smiled and relieved his embarrassment.

Since the camp dinner was not ready, Xu Xiang sat in the camp and began to study the two dragon orders.

I needed projection a few times before, but it was always a bit too cumbersome and inconvenient at all.

However, after his unremitting efforts to find the function of this system, he finally found a simulated function.

Let these two dragon orders be combined into a size similar to a mobile phone, and the two dragon orders are like one is a mobile phone and the other is a battery.

He found that in addition to the employee data table, the system also has a mall function, but this function is not unlocked for the time being. When asked the Spirit Dragon Assistant, it refused to say it explicitly, only that it did not reach the conditions that could be opened.

He had no choice but to go back and look at the employee data sheet again. Before, he only looked at the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, and did not go to see the Fenglong Clan and its affiliated families.

To his disappointment, the employee data of the Fenglong clan cannot be opened.

"Oh ho ho ....." He was annoyed, when the little white ape suddenly came over, looked at him with a trace of pity, and pointed to its stomach again, signaling Xu Xiang that his stomach was hungry.

"Are you hungry?" Xu Xiang put down the dragon order and asked.

"Ahh The little white ape nodded, and he remembered that the little white ape's parents were still waiting on the Apocalypse Island......

"Those two white apes shouldn't starve to death, right?" He thought with some guilt.

While taking out the dried meat and feeding it to the little white ape, he comforted himself again: "Probably not, there should be some wild fruits to eat on that Apocalypse Island." Not really...... Just catch a deer and eat it...... Apes seem to be omnivores too? ”

"You little guy with no conscience, just fun! Don't you want to think about your parents? Xu Xiang saw that it was eating with relish, and gently knocked its head.

The little white ape tilted his head and stroked his head, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"Okay! Now I don't understand what I'm saying? When it comes to eating and playing, you can understand it? He flicked the little white ape's head again, and the latter shrank slightly, and grabbed his little hand forward, trying to stop Xu Xiang from teasing it.

"Hey...... You dare to fight you back! Xu Xiang got energetic, got serious, and held the jerky high.

And after the little white ape finished eating the jerky in his hand, he still wanted to eat, but his hand stretched up, but he couldn't reach it, so he could only jump to grab it.

But Xu Xiang didn't let it get his hands so easily, and whenever it was about to reach it, his hand was slightly raised.

The little white ape was so anxious that he screamed.

"Sample, I can't reach it!" A smug smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.

"Young Master! Can I come in? Just as he was playing with the little white ape, Lu Tianyao's voice came from outside the curtain room.

"Come in." Throwing all the jerky in his hand to the little white ape, he sat up.

Lu Tianyao walked in and said, "Young Master, the young patriarch has sent someone over and asks you to go to her camp to talk." ”

"Huh? Did she say something to me? Xu Xiang asked.

"I didn't say it."

Xu Xiang showed a look of surprise and asked, "Only looking for me?" Or did you also invite Your Majesty? ”

"Only you, pleased."

"Okay, you can come with me." He got up, straightened his clothes, and walked out of the camp.

When I came to the camp of the eldest grandson Mingyue, I saw some soldiers carrying food, going in and out.

"Looks like it's time for dinner?" Xu Xiang walked in.

"Not yet, I asked the battalion to cook me a meal in advance. I'm going to go out later. Eldest Sun Mingyue sat at the table, pointed to another chair and said, "Your Highness, sit down and eat together." ”

"Then you're welcome!" Xu Xiang sat down, seeing that the little white ape was eating so deliciously just now, his stomach was also a little hungry.

There were five dishes for this dinner, a steamed fish, a pickle leaf, a sliced meat of unknown nature, a plate of tofu and a plate of vegetables.

"Tell me, what's the matter with me?" Xu Xiang picked up a piece of fish and asked.

"Eat first. You try this fish, it was just caught by the soldiers from the salt lake, and it tastes very delicious. ”

Honestly, this fish is very average.

The meat of fish is tender, the protein tissue structure is loose, and the moisture content is relatively high. If you want to steam, it is an important step to remove the fish.

It's just that most of them in this era have not mastered the method of removing the fish, so they can only rely on steaming for more time.

However, if you steam for a long time, most of the umami of the fish will be lost, and the taste will naturally not be much better.

"What's so delicious? That's because you haven't eaten food outside of Baige Island, so that's called a fresh! Xu Xiang said while eating, he was indeed very hungry.

"Really?" There was a look of interest in her eyes.

"Hmm. Gai Ming'er has time, I'll personally get you some delicious food for you to taste. Xu Xiang said casually.

"That's a good feeling!" She seemed very happy.

Although the taste of this meal is average, Xu Xiang also knows that the cooks in this army are naturally inferior to the cooks in the Changsun Mansion. It's good to be able to have these dishes to eat, but when the real war starts, it is estimated that you will only be able to gnaw dry food.

"Tell me, what's the matter with me?" Xu Xiang was full, put down the dishes and chopsticks and asked.

"I'm going to Yancun later, will you come with me?" The eldest grandson Mingyue was also full, took the silk cloth handed over by the soldier, gently wiped the oil stains from the corners of his mouth, and said elegantly.

Xu Xiang shook his head, "If you go to Yancun, why should I go with you?" ”

"I'm going to Yancun at night, I'm a little scared, and I want to find someone to accompany me!" She pretended to be pitiful, "Look at my weak woman's ......"

Xu Xiang rolled his eyes, "Isn't there General Mingwei?" You tell her to come with you! Moreover, don't pretend, you're a master of the innate triple, will you still be afraid? ”

Eldest Sun Mingyue smiled awkwardly.

"If that's all there is to it, then I'll go back and rest! After riding a horse for half a day, I was also tired. He got up, let go of his arm, yawned, and said.

"Wait!" The eldest grandson Mingyue stopped him.

"When I go over, I will go to see Qin Mo. Are you sure you don't want to go along? ”

"Huh!" Xu Xiang turned his head and laughed.

"Okay then, I'll go with you!"

Unexpectedly, although she didn't show her concern for that teenager directly, she was actually aware of it.

This woman!

The eyes are really vicious!
