"Look! It's a yellow list! ”

"What are you writing about?"

"It seems to be a recruiting military list......

"Huh? Could it be the Xuanjia Army? ”

The people on the streets of Xuancheng were attracted by the yellow list that had just been released, and the people standing in the inner circle read the yellow list carefully, and the people in the outer circle squeezed into it one by one, and couldn't help shouting, "What are you writing?" ”

"It's written that the Xuanjia Army needs more hot-blooded men to join the army and defend the country!" Everyone was attracted by a loud voice, and when the people looked up, they found Xuan Shaoning standing a few steps away from the crowd, looking at them with a fierce gaze. He knew that even the people in the capital were not very literate, and it was better for them to speak in person than to wait for them to understand the words on the yellow list, so he chose the most lively place in the Guoren District near Qingxuanmen as his first recruiting station.

"Who is this man?"

"Looking at his military uniform, he should be a member of the Xuanjia Army."

For a while, the people looked at such a person who suddenly appeared and was a little confused.

"I am a member of the Xuanjia Army, and the villagers and elders should have heard about the recovery of Yinzhou. We fought fiercely with the Lower Tang army for a day and a night, killing and wounding many brothers, and finally took Yinzhou back from the hands of the enemy! ”

"Yes! It's been 10 years...... It's been ten years since he left his hometown...... "An elderly man couldn't help but hide his face and cry after hearing that Yinzhou had been recovered.

"This old man is from Yinzhou, and so am I. Ten years ago, my home was occupied and my parents died in the war, and now I can participate in this battle and recover my homeland, how emotional it must be......."

"If my child were still here, I would definitely let him join your Xuanjia Army, but it's a pity that .......," the old man choked as he spoke, wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes with his hands.

"You also said just now, many people died in battle, let us join the Xuanjia Army, didn't you also let us send them to death?" A young man shouted, which caused many people to nod in agreement.

Xuan Shaoning was slightly surprised, and hurriedly said: "How can there be no casualties on the battlefield?" However, the Xuanjia Army has always adhered to the principle of never making senseless sacrifices, after all, there is only one life, and the first thing to learn after entering the barracks is various skills, those skills that can save your life. What's more, sacrificing for the country is the honor of being a soldier. ”

"How much is honor worth?"

"Joining the army is the way out for those poor, and we don't have to rush to death!"

"That's it, no matter how you say it here, it's also Jingshi, why can't you beat Jingshi, we're still safe."

"I still let my children study hard, and entering the profession is the right way!"

The lively crowd gradually dispersed, and a few young people wanted to sign up, but were pulled away by their parents or friends. This scene really surprised Xuan Shaoning, he didn't expect it to be such a scene at all, and he never thought that the people of Jingshi would actually think like this! Looking at the empty list, a feeling of anger and sadness arose. Xuan Shaoning clenched his fists, turned around and found Qi Wantong standing not far away watching everything.

Grunt Throat ...... The glass is filled with lilac wine, and the crystal clear color reveals a subtle aroma.

"This is my newly brewed wine from Leng Yuezhai, called Zhuhong." Qi Wantong pushed the wine cup in front of Xuan Shaoning.

Xuan Shaoning, who was very depressed, raised the wine cup, drank it all in one gulp, and slammed the wine cup on the table hard, venting the dissatisfaction in his heart.

"Senior Brother Ye and Ke'er know how to appreciate it much more than you." Qi Wantong understood very well and continued to pour a cup.

"Have you seen them?"

"Naturally, after you returned to the capital, didn't they go back to the academy soon to resume their lives, and they came to say goodbye to me before leaving. They said you had something important to do now, and I didn't ask at the time, but now I understand. ”

"You have also seen that the people in the capital are so greedy for life and afraid of death, it is really chilling!"

"Just ask, who is not afraid of death in life? There are many high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the Beijing Division, even the ordinary people have enjoyed peace for a long time, and they are used to singing and dancing to promote peace, and suddenly let them join the army on the battlefield, and it is you instead, how do you do it? ”

"How can it be a peaceful and prosperous world? Yinzhou has been occupied for ten years, don't they know that those people have been killed or displaced? The surrounding Xia Tang and Xiliang have been eyeing me all the time, can't they see it? ”

"You have a big picture, but others don't; You have a passion and are not afraid of sacrifice, but others are afraid! Imposing one's own ideas on others is just making oneself anxious, do you remember what the Master taught? ”

was enlightened by Qi Wantong, and Xuan Shaoning gradually calmed down, because he was too eager to achieve success and thought about the world too simply. But the start is not good, how to complete this recruitment task?

Looking at Xuan Shaoning's sword eyebrows, Qi Wantong said as if unintentionally: "You can't do it here, why not change it?" ”

Wake up the dreamer with a word! yes, why not change the location. But where? After a short period of excitement, Xuan Shaoning fell into thought again.

The winter of Xiliang came very early, and it began to be cold just after August. A crystal six-petal snowflake fell on the palm of a young girl's hand, and instantly turned into a drop of water. The girl raised her head slightly to look at the distant sky, her long eyelashes couldn't hide the big smart eyes, the slightly tied up bun was decorated with a circle of colorful feathers, the slightly high cheekbones and the bridge of the nose, and the plump lips all showed her identity as a Xiliang person. However, she was not wearing the clothes of an ordinary Xiliang woman, but a purple power suit, with a thin waist seal to stretch out her waist, a tight top to outline her plump breasts, and her beautiful curves made up for her original appearance that was not outstanding.

The girl seemed to be very fond of snow, and her big eyes sparkled to take in the scenery of the Northland. Suddenly, a purple beam of light flashed in the air, like a meteor in the night sky, fleeting, the girl's face changed from relaxed to nervous, and she immediately ran towards the Lotus Qu Hall in the Xiliang Imperial City. What is surprising is that the girl's movements are so fast, and she disappeared into the corner of the palace in a blink of an eye.

The Lotus Qu Hall is located in the rear of the Wenmo Palace, it is a partial hall, the surrounding of the hall is full of lotus flowers, and four winding bridges lead to the hall, so it is named the Lotus Qu Palace.

Although the girl's feet were fast enough, when she arrived at the Lotus Qu Palace, there were already a lot of people in the hall.

"Huang Yue, you're late, you should be in place immediately when you see Cangwu Ling, it's obviously disrespectful to Your Majesty!" It was another woman who spoke, dressed in a fiery red uniform, with an oblique Liuhai slightly covering the right half of her face, with moon eyebrows and scarlet lips, and her appearance was somewhat similar to that of a girl.

"Alright, Red Yarn, it's important to get down to business." The emperor who was standing under Luo Lerong reminded him.

"Huang Yue knows that he is wrong!" The girl bowed her head and apologized, then stood beside the woman named Akasha.

Sitting on the soft chair, Royleron smiled faintly, in his opinion, what had just happened was just an episode, harmless, and his eyes never left the man standing in the middle of the hall.

"So, you want to cooperate? Qi Diaole is such a wise person, how can I trust it? Then Luo Lerong deliberately put the word "wisdom" very seriously, and the irony is obvious.

The corners of the mouth of the man standing in the hall moved slightly, and he replied nonchalantly: "The King Khan guessed that Your Majesty would say this, so I did not come this time empty-handed. ”

"Oh?" Then Luo Lerong was finally aroused, "There is the head of the Lao Yan Department who has to talk about it carefully." ”

That's right, the person standing in the hall is none other than Yan Tong, the head of the Qing Grievance Department, one of the six departments of the Lower Tang Dynasty. "Qinzhou offers it all!" In a few simple words, the amount is really not light. Qinzhou is located in the junction of Xiliang and Xia Tang, is the strategic point of the two countries, more rare is that Qinzhou soil is fertile, pasture grass is everywhere, is the nomadic people started the two countries coveted place, the two countries have launched several wars in order to compete for Qinzhou, countless casualties, Qinzhou is also several times changed hands, the most recent battle occurred five years ago, the Tang Dynasty concentrated superior forces in one fell swoop to divide Qinzhou into the territory, this battle made the old Xiliang King end up with hatred. Now Qi Diao Lezheng actually gave Qinzhou away, which really surprised everyone present.

"Hmph, are you kidding me? Qinzhou, Qidiao Lezheng is willing to cut love? If you don't tell the truth, Master Yan doesn't want to go back! ”

"King Khan also expected that His Majesty would not believe it, but in fact, the purpose of ceding Qinzhou was to show the sincerity of our country. Of course, the people of the Central Plains often say that 'no profit can not be early', we will join forces to deal with the Liang Dynasty, and when it comes to carving up, Ningzhou and Hanzhou will belong to us. ”

"Hahaha, what you think is beautiful! Ning and Han are the granaries of the Liang Dynasty, the land of fish and rice, and the Zhuolun Mountain in the middle is a rare natural barrier, easy to defend and difficult to attack. A bearded guest standing under Huangfu Yu couldn't help but shout.

"Aroldo is right, since you want to cooperate, you can't choose the best place." One of the people standing on the left hand side of Chisha agreed.

"Qinzhou has already been handed over to His Majesty, not to mention that Ning and Han are not as big as Qinzhou together, if Your Majesty is so reluctant, then Yan Tong will have no choice but to leave. Now that the Liang Dynasty is in the limelight, it has recaptured Yinzhou from us, and also uprooted your Cloud Village. Presumably His Majesty has already heard that Emperor Liang has already allowed King Yu to expand the army, and we have all seen the power of the Xuanjia Army under King Yu, and I am afraid that it will be more difficult to deal with after the expansion, not to mention that Emperor Liang values King Yu very much, if he returns to heaven, King Yu will ascend the throne...... At that time, the first thing to deal with is Your Majesty, right? "Yan is a Tibetan word in a fairy tale.

Hearing the last sentence, the muscles in Basilrong's face jumped unconsciously, and the anger in his heart had already risen, but what Yan Tong said was right.

In the midst of some arguments, Huangfu You, who had not spoken, still maintained an indifferent look, and slowly spoke: "Your Majesty, what Lord Yan said is very reasonable, now the Liang Dynasty is our common enemy, and the matter of cooperation should be considered." ”

"Thank you, General Huangfu!" Yan Tong made a false salute to Huangfu You.

"Good! I will definitely consider such a proposal, and the head of the Lao Yan department will say that I will answer within seven days when he goes back! Then Luo Lerong began to chase away customers, Yan Tong didn't know, and he left the main hall after bowing very consciously.

At this time, there were only eight people left in the Lotus Qu Palace, and they fell silent for a while.

"Your Majesty, have you really decided to form an alliance with the Lower Tang?" Chisha asked first.

"Now that the situation is in front of us, we must not let King Yu sit on the throne! The Xuanjia Army must not be allowed to expand! Otherwise, ......" then Luo Lerong glanced at Huangfu Yu meaningfully, "It is still beneficial for us to cooperate with the Lower Tang Dynasty for the time being, and it is imperative to get rid of the Liang Dynasty first." As for the Tang Dynasty, don't forget that we still have chess pieces by the side of Qi Diao, and we will deal with the Tang Dynasty after destroying the Liang Dynasty! Then Luo Lerong's eyes were bloodshot with Yin Hong, and he clenched his fists tightly, as if he was holding the overall situation, "What do you think, Huang Yue?" Then Basilon changed his tone and looked at the girl inquiringly.

The girl's innocent eyes blinked, and she just wanted to answer, but was preempted by the red yarn beside her, "What does she know, Your Majesty will make a decision, we will fully cooperate!" ”

"Chisha, no matter what, you're all sisters." Huangfu Yu reminded.

"Huang Yue's everything is subject to His Majesty's arrangement!" The girl knelt down on one leg, pressed one hand on her chest, and bowed her head.

Then Luo Lerong seemed to be more satisfied, raised his hand and waved lightly, signaling everyone to retreat. Everyone present raised one hand to their chests, put the other behind them, bowed with their waists flat, and turned to leave the Lotus Qu Hall after taking five steps back.

When Huang Yuehui, who was walking at the end, turned around and closed the door, as the curtain turned, the light also changed, and she clearly saw the yin owl flashing on the face of Ze Ba Lerong. After closing the door, he was greeted by the frosty face of the red yarn.

"Your Majesty will agree?" The person who asked was a person with high eyebrows, a black face, and a beard, this person had broad shoulders and a round waist, and he was more than a head taller than Huangfu You, but looking at his expression, he asked Huangfu You very respectfully.

"Whatever Your Majesty decides, all we have to do is obey, and don't forget our mission as a rebel."

A gust of wind blew, the wind chimes hanging on the eaves jingled, Zhuo Lingyi was not affected at all, lightly raised the jade arm, picked up the incense clip made of heavy bamboo, picked up a piece of purple incense charcoal and put it into the smoker, and slowly covered the lid of the smoker with red sandalwood, and after a while, bursts of refreshing fragrance were released from the smoker and began to surround the house.

"If you want to say that in our Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that you are the most outstanding in perfumery skills." Lying on the soft couch, Qi Diaole is taking a deep breath and closing his eyes with a look of enjoyment.

"King Khan praised that the more important thing about fragrance is the texture of the spice. Let's talk about this smoker first, the red sandalwood itself contains a dark fragrance, and the texture is not tight, which can not only let the aroma overflow, but also not overflow too quickly, but release it slowly; Besides, this incense charcoal is the incense of agarwood knots taken from Jiaozhou for more than ten years, and the fragrance is far-reaching, which can calm people's minds. ”

"Zhuo Bu Lord's knowledge is really not inferior to men, it is said that this incense is the best in yellow, and it is rare to have a fragrance in a hundred years, and this purple is second."

"That's right, the yellow incense is called ambergris, and only the dragon camphor wood in the hinterland of Jiaozhou that is more than 100 years old can bear fruit, and a fragrance is worth 10,000 gold. It's a pity ......"

"It's a pity that it's only in Jiaozhou, and Jiaozhou is the territory of the Liang Dynasty, this ambergris has always only been paid tribute to the emperor of the Liang Dynasty, and others don't want to see it!" Qi Diaole opened his eyes and said resentfully.

"After all, it's someone else's, and King Khan doesn't have to be like this."

"Why can't this king snatch it and make it my own? It can be seen that Master Zhuo likes to mix fragrances very much. ”

"Does King Khan really plan to form an alliance with Xiliang?" Zhuo Lingyi obviously heard the frivolity in Qi Diaole's words, and changed the topic without hurrying.

"Yan Tong wrote yesterday, and Basilon is willing to consider it."

"How sincere does King Khan think Xiliang is?"

"In the past two years, we have all suffered defeats against the Liang Dynasty, and now the Liang Dynasty is starting to expand the Xuanjia Army, which is not only a threat to us, but even more so to Xiliang! What's more, the hatred between the two countries has been a long time, and joining forces to deal with the Liang Dynasty is obviously the best way at present, so if Luo Lerong still has a little brain, he should not refuse. ”

"But Xiliang is cunning in nature, and we have to guard against it."

"I don't need you to remind me of this, I've already left my hands behind. In today's world of great contention, there can only be one overlord, it will not be him or Luo Lerong, let alone the dim-witted Emperor Liang! Lingyi, would you like to watch that day come with me? ”

Zhuo Lingyi, who had never turned around, gently put down the bamboo clip in his hand with his back to the lacquer carving, and looked at the sky farther away behind the wind chimes.
