Early the next morning, the weather was not beautiful, and it began to rain lightly, and gradually became larger, dense as a bead curtain. This made Zhuang Yi's plan to arrange for Sha Gu, Sodi and others to go out hunting together. Zhuang Yi asked Duan Zhongzhong to contact Sodi first, talked about some terms of cooperation, and then reported it to himself.
This was mainly about trade, and in terms of military operations, Zhuang Yi obviously did not have enough strength to help the Xi people repel the Khitan invasion, both in terms of troops and logistics. Wisdom? How can this kind of thing be said clearly, this point, Sodi expressed his doubts. He was originally puzzled by coming to Diexiu Village. If it weren't for Zhuang Yi's bravery that made him a little impressed, and the patriarch of Xie Ra insisted on insisting, he wouldn't have come at all.
Therefore, in the afternoon of this day, Zhuang Yi convened a meeting after listening to Duan Zhongzhong's report, and asked all the officers above the rank and above to attend the meeting to discuss the long-term development direction and details of the future, and to help Xi people fight. But he was disappointed by the performance of the petty officers, who had limited vision and could not make many constructive suggestions.
Zhuang Yi had to go to Suo Di to ask some things about the Khitan and Bohai people, but some specific matters about the battle against the Khitans, Zhuang Yi would not tell him for the time being, this matter should fall on Princess Ailan, only she can convey it to King Xi, so that King Xi can fully trust, and everything can be done. The rain fell heavily throughout the day and stopped in the evening. Zhuang Yi stepped on the slippery dirt path to meet Princess Ailan, who had moved to the school yard and set up seven or eight tents. Finding a Xi guard to lead the way, Zhuang Yi came to the largest tent inside, several guards were digging a ditch to drain the stagnant water on the ground, Princess Ailan just opened the curtain and came out, he couldn't help laughing.
"Your big tent is really big, and it's well arranged! What do you think? Don't invite me in to sit ......" Zhuang Yi stomped his foot, kicking off the black mud that stuck to the soles of his boots.
"Go take off your dirty boots, wash your stinky feet, and come in!" Princess Alan frowned, gave him a blank look, opened the curtain and went in first.
A maid flashed out with a small red lacquered barrel and a towel, while another maid took a low couch and placed it on the ground. Zhuang Yi sat up with a big face, took off his stinky cowhide boots, and the smell of his feet rose to the sky, and immediately screamed at a servant girl who was about to wash his feet, covered his nose and fled.
On the contrary, it was the young maid Mei Xiang, who took the towel with a grin, and was about to help him, Zhuang Yi himself was embarrassed, shook his head and smiled bitterly and declined.
Zhuang Yi washed his feet and wiped off the water stains, stood up barefoot, stepped forward and opened the door curtain and entered the big tent. Maybe it was because of the rainy day, the big tent was dark and empty, and there were several large boxes stacked in the corner, apparently packed luggage.
"What? Hurry to go! Look at the weather, it seems that the rainy season is coming, how do you get on the road? Zhuang Yi said, and found a bunk to sit down after the short table, the light in the tent was too dim, so he was a little unaccustomed to it, and he couldn't help frowning.
"We have our own way, you don't have to worry about it!" Princess Ailan sat down opposite him, saw what Zhuang Yi was thinking, and asked the maidservant to light the candles in the tent, and suddenly the candlelight was dim and brighter. The maidservant brought two more small bowls of milk tea. The bowl is a small bowl with pine pattern red lacquer, and the pale yellow milk tea has a layer of green leaves floating on it, which has a refreshing fragrance.
"Is it so critical? What can you do when you go back? And I still have a lot of things to do here, mainly because there is not enough food, there is not enough weapons, and there are only two battalions of troops that can be mobilized. But this is not a problem, if your father can trust me and hand over the clansmen to me for training, I will be sure to retreat from the enemy, and even completely cripple the Khitans, I have already said this last time. Allen! Do you believe me? Zhuang Yi simply expressed his intention and said seriously.
"You are embarrassed to ask this, look at your virtue yesterday, can I believe you? What you said to Sodi yesterday, how about you say it again? I'm listening......" Princess Ellen was angry when she heard this, and her face was as cold as ice.
"Hey...... Why bother with the little things? You know I'm not good at marksmanship, and I need a good crossbow. Again...... I'm so poor! Zhuang Yi smiled bitterly.
"Don't cry poor for me, figure out your own things. Don't you want to take Yingzhou? If you can't support this little bit, let's die as soon as possible! Alan said angrily.
"Can your mouth not be so poisonous, are you willing to marry a poor ghost?"
"Don't say anything like that! Don't put on such a hateful face, when did I promise you? You're just a thief leader? Princess Alan looked disdainful.
"I am the commander of the Pingliao army, and I may even be the king of Liao and the princess in the future! This status doesn't disgrace you, right? Zhuang Yi's hippie smile should be said to be brazen, in his mind, whether she agrees or not, first set the name. What's more, looking at her appearance, I actually approve it in my heart.
"It seems that I am rare to be a princess! Why do you think you have a day to reign? Princess Alan said angrily, but she had no intention of evicting the guest.
"Ahaha...... Aren't you here? I'd love to hear what happened to you in Youzhou this time! Zhuang Yi changed his words and sold Guanzi.
"You bastard......" Princess Ailan gritted her teeth with hatred, sighed faintly, and then said: "When we went, it happened that Li Quanzhong of Youzhou died of illness, and his eldest son Li Congwei claimed to be the queen, and he was anxious to deal with the funeral and stabilize people's hearts, and he didn't want to see us at all. The batch of ploughing cattle brought with them were not even willing to make a concession, so they were sold cheaply, and only exchanged for some ordnance. What a hate! You bastard won't even help me......"
"Those are all guys who eat people and don't spit out bones, as I said a long time ago, don't count on them. But my soldiers are used to collect the battalion state. You've only seen a part of my skills, and it will take time to prove that if your father is a man of courage and can trust me, he will definitely have an unexpected gain, and then he will definitely smile crookedly. I'll visit your tent by July at the latest. Zhuang Yi said solemnly, but quietly moved the bunk on the ground and sat next to Princess Ailan.
"Really? It's useless for you to say this now, and it's hard for me to convince my father, but I'm still welcome to come to our tent. And also...... I just want to ask you if you really want to marry me, or if you just want us to help you get Yingzhou. When Princess Ailan said this, a pair of beautiful eyes looked at Zhuang Yi's not very handsome face, as if she didn't want to let go of the slightest detail. She didn't seem to care too much about when Zhuang Yi sat next to her.
"You're mistaken! It's not the same thing at all, it's my business to take Yingzhou, marry you...... It's a lifelong event for both of us, you say? Of course, Zhuang Yi knew the relationship very well, and said lazily, without blinking his eyes, he actually put his hand on Princess Alan's shoulder.
"Take away your claws......" Princess Ailan felt Zhuang Yi's ill intentions, but was pleasantly surprised by his answer, smiled charmingly, gave him a blank look, and continued to reply: "Look at what you said seems to be true, people can't believe it!" We have five Xi people, but there are a lot of young warriors, even if I ignore you, you have to help us, I understand it this way, right? Princess Alan pursed her lips and smiled smugly.
"No...... Even if you ignore me! I'll still go to you......" Zhuang Yi said with a smile, his eyes began to become hot, he forcefully pulled Alan's shoulders, stretched his head over, sniffed lightly between her white and delicate neck, the faint fragrance of fat powder mixed with hair made him enjoy it very much, and then put his mouth over.
"Alright! I hope this time I came not a beautiful mistake......" Princess Alan muttered, her eyes dodging a little shyly, her face flushed, her heart began to beat faster, she struggled in a panic and looked very delicate and weak, and there was always a hint of wavering in her heart. But the other party's rain-like kiss fell, and a pair of strange hands were wandering around, making her skin tremble, and the wonderful feeling of her body being hot made her heart gradually lose her defense.
"Trust me! It's not a mistake, it's because of Xuanshui's beautiful encounter......" Zhuang Yi whispered in her ear, his hand reaching for the leather belt around her waist, and the other hand reaching for her neckline.
Princess Ailan's eyebrows furrowed slightly, her beautiful eyes were confused, she didn't stop it, stretched out her slender arm, hooked his neck, and began to respond enthusiastically.
The low table fell to the side, and the small bowl with pine red lacquer fell to the ground and rolled out again.
The two young maidservants in the tent were a little dumbfounded, and they were stunned for a while, and finally they looked at each other, and they both laughed deliciously, covered their faces, and ran out shyly, but they couldn't help but look back secretly, and when they went out, they still lowered the curtain and guarded the door.
