In the northern suburbs of Yan Kingdom, the largest urban defense army of Yan Country is stationed here.

The main task of the city defense army is not to go into battle to kill the enemy, but to protect the safety of Lindu, the capital of Yan State.

Gu Yuan turned over and dismounted, and picked Ji Ling off the horse.

Qiao An was excited and wanted to jump off by herself, but the whole person fell down, and she was about to fall face to the ground, but fortunately, Gu Yuan quickly caught him.

"Be obedient, don't make trouble."

Joan had no choice but to bow her head aggrievedly, indicating her obedience.

At this time, a middle-aged general in armor stepped forward, and after hugging Gu Yuan generously, he laughed and patted each other on the shoulder.

The middle-aged general said in a loud voice: "Gu Yuan, tell me yourself, you kid, you haven't come to see me for a long time!" ”

Gu Yuan smiled but did not mean to be embarrassed, "In recent years, I have been to the border pass city, and I was called back by the king not long ago. No, I'm coming to see you now. ”

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, from Bianguan to Lindu, from training to drinking a few bottles of wine every day, and after a long time, Gu Yuan remembered that there were still two little children who had not yet been introduced.

Gu Yuan turned around and was about to pull the two children forward, but found that only Ji Ling was waiting honestly, and Qiao An was nowhere to be found.

Ji Ling helplessly pointed in one direction, Gu Yuan and the middle-aged general also looked over, only to find that Qiao An was lying alone by the guardrail, as if the whole person was about to fall in, and looked at the soldiers who were training there with stupid eyes.

Gu Yuan was going to pull this Qiao An over, but the middle-aged general couldn't help but smile when he saw this.

"Gu Yuan, let's go over."

The three of them strode towards Joan.

There was a sound of footsteps behind him, but Qiao An was unconscious, still obsessed with it, until Gu Yuan patted him on the back, he jumped on the spot in fright, turned around, and smiled innocently.

In fact, from the moment they met, the middle-aged general noticed these two children, but they were reunited with Gu Yuan after a long absence, and they were too excited for a while, so they didn't have time to ask.

Gu Yuan pulled Qiao An, and Ji Ling stood obediently.

Gu Yuan introduced to the two children: "This is General Lu Yanlu, the commander of the city protection army. ”

Ji Ling saluted respectfully and said, "General Lu is good." ”

Qiao An glanced at him, and also saluted and greeted Ji Ling.

Lu Yan touched the little unshaven stubble on his chin and pointed at Qiao An.

"This is the little boy Qiao you mentioned to me in your previous letter? It's really lively, but I don't know what the root bones are. ”

Gu Yuan just smiled.

Lu Yan looked at Ji Ling again and asked, "Then who is this little boy?" ”

Gu Yuan opened his mouth and said, "This is a little guest living in Yan Kingdom, his name is Ji Ling. ”

Lu Yan was shocked when he heard this, and asked curiously: "Are you from Zhaoguo?" ”

At the beginning, when the child opened his mouth to say hello, he found that the accent was southern, but although he was confused, he was not sure, but at this time he was sure.

Ji Ling was not in a hurry, and saluted respectfully, "Yes, General Lu." ”

Lu Yan obviously had some concerns and questions in his heart, but he still nodded and looked at Gu Yuan.

"That's what the king meant?"

Gu Yuan knew very well what he was asking, although Ji Ling was just a child, he was never from Yan Kingdom, he did not belong to Yan Kingdom, and one day, he would leave here.

Cultivating a talent from another country is not a waste of self-inflicted obstacles, and this child's adaptability in all directions is far beyond what an eleven-year-old child should have, in other words, in many ways, there are talents that ordinary people do not have.

Moreover, this kid is too forbearing, even if Lu Yan's disgust is so obvious, he still doesn't blush and his heart doesn't beat, and he is polite and thoughtful.

It was a little surprising to him.

Gu Yuan actually didn't know why the king did this, after all, as a courtier, there were some things that should not be asked and could not be asked.

Just obey the king's commandments.

Gu Yuan looked at Lu Yan, nodded slightly, and said, "What does the king mean." ”

Lu Yan seemed to be thinking about something, maybe he was thinking about whether there would be hidden dangers in the future if he left this child, but in the end he nodded and agreed.

Joan had always looked east and west excitedly, for him, this was to come to an extremely happy world, and the dream of a general in his mind was getting closer to him little by little.

Lu Yan motioned for Qiao An to come to him, and Qiao An was also extremely cooperative, jumping up and running over.

Holding Qiao An's little hand, Lu Yan turned his head to Gu Yuan and said, "Let's take the child around and have a look." ”

Gu Yuan also felt that it was okay, so he nodded and followed.

Ji Ling looked at them and silently followed behind.

He has developed an extremely sensitive personality since he was a child, so he can clearly feel that in fact, no one really likes him, whether it is Gu Yuan or General Lu, because he has a sensitive identity as a Zhaoguo.

Even King Yan, who was good to him, treated him politely, just to give him the face of his uncle.

In fact, this feeling of being under the fence is very unhappy, but he can't change it, at least not at all.

Everyone here was on his guard, even if he was just a child.

Qiao An chattered all the way, making people laugh from time to time, and when he saw the soldiers who were training, he danced excitedly, which was really a living treasure.

Ji Ling was silent all the way.

"Hey, Ji Ling." Ji Ling came back to his senses, and suddenly heard someone calling him, and when he looked up, he found that he didn't know when the group had entered a camp.

Joan smirked and climbed to the top of a slightly higher platform and stood high looking at him.

On the table is a vivid military chess game, a miniature model made of sand and stones, but the essence is still a chess game.

Gu Yuan touched Ji Ling's head and said, "What is the little boy's fugue?" ”

Ji Ling looked at Qiao An with puzzled eyes.

I saw Qiao An stretch out his hand domineeringly and hooked his middle finger towards Ji Ling, "Ji Ling, you come and play with me." ”

Lu Yan and Gu Yuan laughed instantly, this little Qiao An wanted to play with this novel thing as soon as she saw it, but how could the two of them be embarrassed to play with a five-year-old child.

In the barracks, military chess is a game that many generals like to set up an offensive and defensive formation, and when they are bored, they can also increase their leadership combat ability and timely adaptability to different terrain and different situations.

However, these two children can't play any fame, at most it is Qiao An's temporary interest.

At first, Gu Yuan also explained to Qiao An that he would come to play when he grew up, but Qiao An didn't listen to it at all, since he liked it, it didn't matter if he let the child play.

Ji Ling paused for a moment and walked towards Qiao An.

When he was reading this kind of chess in the library, it was written in the book, and it was generally only played by generals, and compared with Go and chess, it was relatively niche.

However, at that time, he was very curious about this thing, and he also studied it at the beginning, and from time to time he would dig mud in the courtyard outside the library building to calculate.

Looking at the chessboard, Ji Ling suddenly smiled, he guessed that Qiao An should not understand this, just talk to him casually.
