When Dong Qi first learned that he had been personally selected by the head of the family, Li Xuan, to go to Yuanquan in Liangzhou to assist the long-heard future son-in-law of the Li family in Longxi, his first instinct was that this was the best and probably the last chance for him to advance since he entered the Li family in Longxi for more than ten years.

Therefore, as soon as he entered Liangzhou, especially the first time he saw the new atmosphere inside and outside the manor, which was completely different from any other place, he immediately made up his mind:

In the future, regardless of whether the old club will let him return to Longxi, the first priority now is to serve the son in front of him well.

"Childe, please see—"

Once the psychological problem was solved, Dong Qi found that doing anything was so natural. Moreover, the feeling of initiative is very good. For example, Childe didn't mention this public opinion map along the way that Childe had said a long time ago, and as soon as he came over, he ordered a pair of family members to unfold it in front of Liu Yu.

"We are now in Guzang, and instead of taking the usual road to the Central Plains, we need to pass through a large grassland and the Hexi Corridor with complex public opinion. Therefore, I have already made representations in advance with the lord's family and some of my own old friends, and the Qianghu ethnic groups and tribes in the places where I passed through have been negotiated in advance. Before leaving the realm of Wuwei County, we only need to think about preparing enough salt and iron. ”

"Salt and iron," Liu Yu said puzzledly, "Aren't these two things a monopoly of the imperial court, and we are on the road again, where can we prepare these prohibited goods in a hurry?" ”

"Don't worry, Childe, we have actually prepared these for a long time."

Seeing Dong Qi's sudden appearance of being a bamboo in his chest, Liu Yu immediately reacted. There is such a business monster standing behind him, and he is afraid that he will not be able to do what he wants to do.

"Okay, then let's talk about the matter of the grassland and the Hexi Corridor after the merger, which is as important as my trip to Changshan in Jizhou."

"Oh, Childe." Dong Qi felt that Liu Yu's tone was a little unkind, and quickly reined in:

"In fact, the state originally belonged to Jizhou in ancient times, because the north and south were far apart, so it was divided by Yu Shun to form the state. Now that the state has been merged, Gongzi only needs to pay attention to the three forces to get a glimpse of the leopard. ”

"First, it is Ding Yuan, who has been in the state for many years, and the commander of Wumeng. He was both civil and military, and was promoted to the rank of captain of the capital Yulin Army at the beginning of the year, and was promoted because of the courage of the thief Kou, and was elected to the capital Yulin Army as a cavalry lieutenant, and then took charge of the state, which is the first hegemon of the current state. ”

"Second, the Taiyuan Wang clan in Bingzhou, that is, the collective name of the Wang clan of Qixian County and the Wang clan of Jinyang, they are the largest family in Bingzhou."

"The third is Dong Zhuo, the Taishou of Hedong, who has just been divided into a new state assassin history, but has been unwilling to take office for a long time. This person is the hero who thinks that he is most likely to dominate one side in the future, not only is the Xiliang Legion under his command brave and good at fighting, but also has just won the new favorite of the imperial court, and is relied on as the best candidate to deter the current chaos in Jizhou, the prince may wish to pay more attention to it. ”

Well, this Dong Qi still seems to have some ability. Liu Yu nodded secretly, and suddenly said quietly:

"I heard that there is a Lu Bu Lu Fengxian in Wuyuan County, Bingzhou, who is very powerful, has Mr. Chongyuan ever crossed paths with him?"

"Lu Bu?" Dong Qi thought for a long time, and finally shook his head affirmatively:

"I've never heard of this person, even if he is brave, he doesn't have a good reputation, and he doesn't deserve the attention of his son. But Childe Ruo—"

"No need," the word loyalty comes first, and those who are disloyal and unfilial are still forget it, Liu Yu hurriedly waved his hand:

"Let's stop here today, please get a summary of the basic public opinion, marching routes, and marches of the counties and counties along the way, and I will take credit to you at the end of this trip."

"Oh," Dong Qi was overjoyed when he heard this.

That night, the group finally arrived at the edge of the grassland, and it had been ten days since they left their own manor in Dunhuang.

Looking at the night that suddenly became unusually small and at the same time suffocatingly silent, Liu Yu suddenly remembered the time when he accompanied Cai Yong deep into the hinterland of the Huns, and the grassland there was also the same desolate, the same quiet, and the same terrifying.

Only this time, the grassland is still the same grassland, but he finally has a small army. A spark can start a prairie fire, isn't it, although the sparrow is small, it has all its organs, and now it is three hundred horses, and in the future, he dares to say that these three hundred horses will soon become three thousand iron horses, thirty thousand or even more The sound of the hooves of the rolling torrent.

And not only does Dong Qi look good, but Xue Wu, who is relatively more taciturn, is also a good hand when he looks at the calmness and calmness with which he commands the troops and arranges the camp when he camps.

Although this was the first time he had really followed in person, and at the same time he had witnessed the march, camp, and formation of the Cold Weapon Era, he could still see the similarities in his many years of military career.

After dinner, Dong Qi and Xue Wu came together, briefly reviewed the gains and losses of the past ten days, and said solemnly:

"Childe, since tonight, our army has entered the land of the Hetao where the Xiongnu and Qiangdi are mixed, although there has been collusion before, but we still have to be on guard. So in the next few days, please be more careful, and the two of us will also be on duty at night. ”

"Very good," Liu Yu praised it, then looked at Hu Che'er and Liu Yong, and said:

"You two only need to focus on the army, I don't want to be distracted here, if there is anything, I will resist and deal with it."

Dong Qi agreed, Xue Wu was silent for a long time, but when he got up, he hummed and emphasized:

"Childe, the master of the Linxing family has a saying-"

Before the words fell, Liu Yu's face suddenly sank, and he squeezed out two words in a cold voice: "Stop!" ”

Everyone present was stunned, but for some reason, everyone was tense again. Because, for a long time, what impressed them the most was always the smiling appearance of the son when he went in and out every day.

Today's sudden surprise surprised everyone, and then it seemed that they finally remembered that he was a son, and he was the only master of everyone here!

"Xue Wu, you know that you are wrong, this is the second time that you have been in front of me. Loyalty to the head of the family and loyalty to duty is definitely a person's duty. But you forgot one thing, now there is no head of the house here, only Childe, you know? ”

As he spoke, he stood up and threw the handful of hay he was playing with on the ground, staring into the distance with a sparkling gaze:

"Stand down, reciting your first offense is a sincere heart, and today I will only give a verbal admonition. If there is a third time, you will still take your Longxi black-clothed righteousness, where to go back and forth! ”

"Well, Wu wrote it down."

Xue Wu was also sweating profusely suddenly, bowed back, stayed until no one was around, looked at the dark night sky, and suddenly remembered the appearance of this son tonight.

To be honest, this time I came here every day, basically because of habit, just mechanically following my thinking inertia for many years, following the whip of the head of the family, pointing to the east and the west. As for the person he wants to serve, what he looks like, and what temper he has, he doesn't bother to think about it at all, so he just eats with his ability.

But tonight, why did it suddenly fall like a whip on his heart?

Suddenly, Dong Qi followed silently, stood on one side, and sighed softly.
