Under Taiye City, the Imulan Merchant House on Nanchi Street has closed its façade, and some lights can still be seen inside.

The Imulan merchant house, which occupies the most conspicuous position on this street, is not only a large façade, but also has a hole in the backyard. The large courtyard is connected to four or five passages, the entrances and exits are extremely complicated, and the pattern in the courtyard is also very magnificent.

Now that the weather is getting hotter, the shade of the trees is like an umbrella cover, and it is very shady. Mo Daqiu was already impatient to sleep in the house, so he moved a bamboo recliner under the tree and slept all night.

Every time the weather became hot, he would mutter, how long would he have to stay in this bird place.

Mo Daqiu lay on the bamboo chair with his stomach exposed, and the cigarette gun in his hand was raised, and he watched with great enjoyment as a huge smoke ring was gently pushed out and floated in the air.

Suddenly, a strong wind stirred up the smoke rings, and he got up to see that Master Hao was standing in front of him at some point.

"Master Hao, is this urgent?"

"Yes, Fang Yinhua has been here, and she has brought the instructions of the chief butler."

Mo Daqiu's spirit was shocked, the cigarette gun in his hand "snapped", and he hurriedly sat up and asked, "Tell me, what are you going to do?" ”

"Zhu Zhiling wants the Northern Expedition and takes the opportunity to calculate Emperor Ming and Mu Yunzuo at the same time."

Mo Daqiu laughed: "She has a good brain." ”

"The big housekeeper said that she has a good brain, but she is always a little bit hot, just like what happened to Lu Wenchi last time, and the big housekeeper has to clean up the aftermath for her."

"Well, that's right, maybe she's young, but if she reaches the age of the big housekeeper, she's really not much worse than the big housekeeper."

Master Hao also nodded, agreed, and said, "So this time is the same, the big housekeeper feels that her plan is a little worse again." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Zhu Zhiling wanted Cai Shouxin, the prefect of Linzhou, to use a bitter trick to trick Emperor Ming into agreeing to join forces with Cangwu to join forces with Cangwu to attack our Imulan, and by the way, Mu Yunzuo was also calculated. But the big housekeeper thinks that this bitter meat trick is not bitter enough, so let's add some more ingredients. ”

"How?"

"I heard that the Blood Flame King of the Blood Clan has recently appeared in Linzhou?"

Mo Daqiu frowned and nodded, and said, "Yes, it was originally the turn of the Blood Clan to send someone to Linzhou to stir up trouble this month, but the Blood Flame King came in person. In fact, everyone knows that this kind of thing is useless for him to go out in person, he can't rest assured that the little boy's convoy is not at ease, and he is afraid that the big housekeeper will blame him, so he goes south by starting from the beginning. Later, it was reported that the Blood Flame King left Linzhou after meeting the little prince, and personally escorted him all the way, and now he should have gone north from Jueling Peak. ”

"The meaning of the big steward is to quickly send someone to chase the Blood Flame King back, and immediately gather five thousand men and horses from the nearby territory, let him personally lead the troops to ambush in the suburbs of Linzhou, and kill Cai Shouxin immediately when he sees him out of the city! The harder this battle is, the better, so this person has to be the Blood Flame King. ”

"Hahaha, there is no turning back when the bow is opened, the big housekeeper is planning to force Zhu Zhiling to the end, it is really wonderful!" Mo Daqiu touched his stomach happily, and couldn't help but go to light the cigarette gun to take a puff, but was held down by Master Hao.

"Listen to me and you smoke again, your smoke is too smoky, and you don't want to come in and tell you directly."

"Okay, okay, you say." Mo Daqiu could only put it aside for a while.

"The second thing, you still have those eyeliners that Mu Yunyou laid in Bihai Country when he was alive, right?"

"Huh? Haven't those people been imprisoned in the suburbs of the south three grids of Taiye City since last year according to the will of the big butler? ”

"You didn't treat those people badly, did you?"

Mo Daqiu sneered: "What's the matter, the big housekeeper's orders, can I eat and drink well?" ”

"It takes a thousand days to raise soldiers, and the big housekeeper says it's time. You pick a clever eyeliner and send the news to Mu Yunzuo, just say that Zhu Zhiling wants to borrow troops from Cangwu to join forces in the Northern Expedition in the near future. This sentence is enough, and nothing else needs to be said. You tell that informant that as long as he finishes this time, he will have enough money to stay in the Taiye Kingdom for the rest of his life, and we will also help him bring his family from Cangwu, either do it well, or don't even want his life. ”

Mo Daqiu stretched out his hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm good at scaring people." I'll make sure the news gets through as quickly and securely as possible. After speaking, he reached out and took the cigarette gun again, but Master Hao still pressed it and did not withdraw his hand.

"There is another matter, Zhu Zhiling asked Zhu Zhiling to ask you about the whereabouts of the little boy. You haven't replied yet, have you? ”

"No, I don't. How do I reply? Could it be that you should tell her that the little boy will let us send Shakoye to most of them? Mo Daqiu said.

The chief housekeeper said that since Zhu Zhitong heard that the little boy was gone, he went to him almost every day to complain, and he was very bothered. If you drag on like this and don't reply, Zhu Zhiling will inevitably be suspicious. Since the little boy is going north, you can tell her that she is going south, so that Zhu Zhitong can stop a little. Otherwise, the little girl was so anxious that she turned white overnight, and how to match it with the little boy in the future. ”

Mo Daqiu was most afraid of this kind of love and love, and when he heard this, he was already impatient, and hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, I'll listen to the big housekeeper." I told Yinhua early in the morning and asked her to bring a message to Zhu Zhiling, saying that the little boy was ...... Let's go to Nanhua Island. ”

Only then did Master Hao withdraw his hand that was holding the cigarette gun, and turned around and went on his own.

Mo Daqiu lit a cigarette as he wished, took a big puff, and thought: The Blood Flame King found a way to come down from the south to see the little prince. The big butler didn't find a reason to break him up again, and he was really worried that the Blood Flame King would say too much to the little prince.

* * * * * *

Leaving Jueling Peak, the climate on the road gradually warmed up. He Ping and He Lin removed the thick mattress in the car, replaced them with delicate velvet blankets, and changed into cool summer clothes for Su Xiaochen, all the clothes were just the right size, obviously prepared.

Su Xiaochen was accustomed to it, and knew that Wen Hegui was a meticulous person, and he had learned about these dietary arrangements when he was in Wen Zhai. Since he was so meticulous and kept silent about the purpose of this trip on the way, he simply went to the city of Shakoye and asked him again, and now it was important to learn Imulan first, after all, he wanted to know more about his own father.

Su Xiaochen studied diligently, He Ping taught patiently, and the progress was very smooth. However, in three or four days, Su Xiaochen was able to say all the objects in the room in Imulan, which surprised Herin.

"Childe is really perceptive and unforgettable. And many words in this Imulan language are very rapping, I studied with He Ping and I for a long time, but I didn't expect Gongzi to speak so well in a while. ”

Su Xiaochen didn't think that although the accent of Imulan was completely different from the language of Cangwu and the blue sea, he didn't seem to have so much trouble speaking it, but felt an indescribable sense of intimacy.

After another day or two, he was no longer satisfied with conversing with Hepin and Herin in Imulan. He noticed that the two men were always too submissive, and when it came to things he did not understand, he would explain them in the southern language, or deliberately use simple words to make himself understand and make himself happy.

This didn't work, Su Xiaochen decided to find a few soldiers to practice.

It happened that the convoy arrived in a small town and stopped for a while. Su Xiaochen got out of the car to find the leader and the others, and after walking a few steps, he suddenly heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves behind his head. Again, it was an Imuran cavalryman galloping forward. The cavalry rushed straight to the leader before rolling off his horse, as if he had something important to report, but he was crooked, and he was already lying on the ground panting. Look at the horse again, the mouth is full of foam, and the eyes are bulging. Su Xiaochen knew that this was a symptom that horses would only have after a long journey.

The cavalryman was helped up by the men around him who had been fed some water, and then he regained his strength and began to mumble in an anxious language.

Su Xiaochen could only understand a few words, the Blood Clan, the Blade Clan, the Eagle Clan, and then some numbers, all of which seemed to be around thousands. He hurriedly beckoned Herreen over and asked her to help her listen, but Herin didn't seem to understand well, and her explanation was a little incomplete.

He seemed to be saying that he had quickly returned to Linzhou, and had gathered two thousand, two thousand, and one thousand, a total of 5,000 people. And then...... Ambush ......, and then kill someone in Linzhou......"

Su Xiaochen was shocked when he heard it, obviously this was a military order, and five thousand troops were ambushed in a certain place to ambush an important person in Linzhou. Is this going to do something to the blue sea?

In the past six months, I occasionally heard Xiaotong say that Imuran's recent harassment of Linzhou has intensified, but it is only harassment, and he will retreat after the trouble. How did you also gather troops this time? This is more real than before.

In terms of the number of troops, 5,000 is not much, but if these 5,000 are a combination of one or two thousand soldiers from each of the three tribes, it means that it was a temporary assembly rather than a premeditated one. And judging from the urgency of the order, it should also be a sudden action.

Could it be that something has happened to the country of Bihai?

Su Xiaochen saw that the leader's expression became more and more solemn, and after listening to the report of the cavalry who gave the order, he stood up and said a few words to an entourage beside him, only to see that the entourage took out a big horn, puffed up his cheeks and blew it, and the soldiers immediately got on the horses and lined up in a line, and left the town first.

Seeing Su Xiaochen on the side, the leader personally led the black pony to him, smiled at him, and said a word. Su Xiaochen understood this sentence:

"Wait for me in Shakoye."

When he had finished speaking, he got on his horse, and when he whistled, the black lion-like tall horse neighed, spread its hooves and ran south, and went away.

After just a short cup of tea, the cavalry in the camp was gone, and Su Xiaochen secretly sighed that the military discipline of this Imulan was so vigorous and well-trained. At this time, Mama Hegui came over and replied humbly: "Childe, in three days, we can go to the capital of Shakoye, I don't know if Childe is tired and needs to rest for a while." ”
