There was an undercurrent surging in Beijing, but the prince abandoned the noise and began to select and use talents.

The seventeenth institute did not have many people, so he had to ask Xie Fu for help, and the third and fourth brothers of Sister Yan personally sent people to help.

The sister-in-law saw that Mrs. Dusk's attitude was not good, although she was unhappy for her sister, she couldn't offend her anymore, so she had to leave them to rest for one night, and sent someone to take them to the army on the second day.

They met a few young knights on the way, and they also went in that direction.

There was a person inside, it was Lin Yun who had tried to compete with Sister Yan in the ring that day, it turned out that they were here to join the army, and the owner of the twilight village praised it, so everyone went together.

Sister Yan has just arrived a few days ago, and has been patrolling the major military camps these days, discussing the deployment with Xie Ming and others, although she got the news that the Dusk family is here, she doesn't have much time to receive them.

"General Xie, how long do you think it will take for us to break through the border of the Shang Kingdom?"

In the army, Sister Yan has always been called Xie Ming's official position, and Xie Ming is also used to it, "Now that the Shang Kingdom is loose and the forces in the army are panicking, I can't see that in half a month, we can break through the border." ”

"That's good, when the border is broken, we will attack on the eastern front, what do you think?"

"There is only one Muyang Pass within five hundred miles of the eastern front, and it is indeed feasible to occupy the eastern front and then surround it, but I don't know if the prince will agree to send troops. ”

"The military order should come soon, in addition to the military order, the Emperor's Mansion has secretly established many horse farms in various places over the years, as long as the prince gives instructions, there will be 200,000 young and strong war horses sent to the west, with these war horses, there can be more than 200,000 cavalry, and then their combat effectiveness will not be the same. ”

When the people in the camp heard this, they all geared up, it was 200,000 war horses, "Emperor, what you said is true?"

"I can't lie to you, these days, each department screens the soldiers, and we will form another 200,000 cavalry. ”

The generals excitedly said, "My subordinates will listen to the order and do it immediately." ”

Waiting for the big tent of the Chinese army, exhaustion gradually climbed to the brows, these days are busy day by day, only sleep more than two hours a day, open your eyes is to deal with endless affairs, although the plan is grandiose, but there are too many details in the process.

I was about to go to the side camp to see Dui's family, but someone came to report that there was a conflict on the trade road, and a large grain transport team was wanted by the Shang State, and the caravan fled to the junction of Shang and Chu, and now the group of merchants and patrols of the Chu army are facing each other.

Speaking of the grain caravan, Sister Yan naturally remembered that his father and the several major merchants who had befriended him purchased grain and grass in the merchant country, such a big deal, this matter should be related to them.

gave an order, first entertain the Twilight family, and Sister Yan took someone to ride a fast horse to the border to solve the problem.

Mrs. Twilight thought that she would come to see her soon, but when she arrived at the door, she left again, and she only felt arrogant in her heart.

On the contrary, Lin Yun and the others were not unhappy at all, so much so that they felt strange about Mrs. Duan's natural attitude, it was normal for the emperor to be busy, what did they come here for.

Lin Yun asked, "Master Dusk, is there something you have to do in the army?"

The owner of the twilight village naturally remembered that the matter of Tianshen could not be spread outside, so he said, "Recently, there have been rumors that are unfavorable to my son, and I will come to the emperor to discuss countermeasures." ”

"Oh, that's it, this rumor is indeed very powerful, and now it is rumored that the second son is not dead, but he is afraid that the rumor is hiding, and some people also say that he is not dead, which means that he is a spy, and it is very powerful, if we hadn't met with the two emperors in Beijing and understood their conduct, I'm afraid we would have to believe it." ”

Lord Twilight frowned, "What? ”

"Why, don't you know?"

"We were in a hurry all the way and didn't know that. ”

Lin Yun nodded, "I see, it is said that it was passed on by Huang Yan, a friend of the Lord of the Dusk Village, and he also said that his daughter is going to be the emperor's wife, he is the emperor's father-in-law, if I didn't know the friendship between the two emperors, I would have believed it." ”

Only then did the Twilight family react that it was Huang Yan's father who spread the word and caused such trouble.

Huang Yan was a little flustered for a while, and hurriedly said, "Maybe it's my fault that my father lost his words after drinking, but maybe it's also a conspiracy of the Shang Kingdom, and my father just found an excuse for them to make this more credible." ”

Mrs. Twilight comforted, "It's okay, don't blame yourself, isn't the Xie family solving it?" ”

Hearing this, Lin Yun and the others were extremely displeased, and they spit on them for being unreasonable, so they didn't bother to talk to them again.

The owner of the twilight village insisted, and he also felt a little embarrassed, and there were outsiders present, so it was not easy to blame his wife, so he could only endure it.

Seeing the blame in her husband's eyes, Mrs. Twilight blamed her sister for all this.

Huang Yan said, "It's already good for the Xie family to help, but aunt still don't offend them, otherwise if they shake their hands, the Twilight family will be wronged in vain." ”

"Hmph, what about the Xie family, we didn't ask them to help us, my Du family has always been innocent, and it was only after the relationship with the Xie family that we were implicated. ”

Lin Yun and the others saw that Huang Yan had something to say, but Mrs. Dui still believed her, she was speechless in her heart, and she didn't bother to interject, but when the emperor came back, she must be reminded not to be bullied by these people in vain.

Half a day later, Sister Yan rushed to the border, and saw where many grain trucks were parked from a distance, and the two armies of Shang and Chu did not give in to each other, but without orders from above, they did not dare to move.

"The Emperor has arrived—"

When they got closer, they found that the people of the caravan had all taken out their swords, as if they were about to rush up and kill the merchants who were blocking the way in the next moment.

A young voice came from the carriage next to him, and jumped out of the carriage in a hurry, "Emperor, we are a legitimate caravan, and the merchant country wants to use power to rob us of our grain and grass. ”

"Qian Tong, why are you here. ”

"This is the last batch of grain and grass, I went with it, but I didn't expect their princes to die, and these guys are still biting. ”

The general of the Shang State stepped forward and said, "We suspect that these things are smuggling grain and grass, so we have to detain and check it, but they still resist by force, the emperor should be a reasonable person, please ask the emperor to hand them over." ”

Although I have heard of Sister Yan's reputation, everyone will be a little lucky, if Sister Xie has the upper hand here, will fame and fortune be far away.

Sister Yan sneered, "It's the first time I've heard someone say that I'm a reasonable person, you said that these things are smuggled, come up with evidence." ”

Qian Tong took out a few contracts from his arms, "I came back from a legitimate deal, don't slander us, general." ”

The man said, "Shang Guoguan has received many reports that some people are forced to buy and sell grain, so we have to investigate every grain transportation team, and your resistance is so fierce, we naturally have reason to suspect you." ”

Sister Yan said, "Then I have reason to suspect that you are deliberately sabotaging the trade between the two countries, if there is a conflict at the border because of this, can you afford it?"

"We will never dare to conflict with the emperor, and ask the emperor to call them out, so we will naturally not be entangled. ”

"Your master is the prince, the prince is dead, you are still working so hard for him, I'm afraid it will not be tolerated by some people, you think that taking away these grains and grass can make a great contribution, then it is a big mistake, and some people will quietly get rid of you, this seat, you better think about the way back earlier. ”

Qian Tong ordered someone to light a torch, "Even if I burn these grains, I will not be snatched away by you in vain, and then the Chu State will no longer trade with the Shang State, and if there is a problem with the trade between the two countries, you are a first-class sinner." ”

The man thought for a moment, and saw that the people of Chu were resolute, and his future was uncertain, so he didn't dare to fight hard, so he had to let him go.

Waiting for the Shang people to retreat, Sister Yan said, "You didn't plan to burn these grains a long time ago." ”

"The Shang people blocked the road, so I had to go into battle in person, bringing the last batch of grain and grass back, it was originally a risk, if I could bring it back, it would be enough, and if I couldn't bring it back, it would all be burned. ”

"You're too adventurous. ”

"You don't know, this batch of grain and grass has been shipped back, and I have won over the others, but fortunately you came here, otherwise I would have lost. ”

Sister Yan chuckled, "Then it depends on whether your little fox can fight those old foxes, let's go, follow me back to the camp, and give you a crush." ”

"Well, I can go to the army to see and understand, or these grains and grass will be transported directly to the army, and I will count them as my labor army. ”

"Nonsense, now that Chu is not short of food, if you do this, you will only be used as a money bag by others, and you will talk about it when you need it urgently. ”

"Oh well. ”

When Sister Yan took them back to the camp, it was already late at night, it was rare to rest in the middle of the night, get up early in the morning to practice marksmanship, on the battlefield, the spear is still more than the sword, Sister Yan intermittently learned a lot from Xie Ming, and practiced it when she had time, becoming more and more proficient.

The owner of the twilight village got up early in the morning to practice the sword, but found that someone had already practiced outside, and when he got closer, he saw that it was a woman, and he knew that it was a sister, but he had heard that she was good at swordsmanship, how could she even shoot here, but there was still a neatness of practicing swords.

Sister Yan naturally saw him, and when she saw him standing aside and didn't make a sound, she finished practicing a set of marksmanship, and only after closing her momentum did she say, "This is Uncle Dusk." ”

"Exactly, I didn't expect the emperor to reach his current status and be so diligent. ”

Sister Yan said, "After many years of getting used to it, if you are lazy, you will eventually regress." ”

"Why did the emperor practice marksmanship?"

"It needs to be used on the battlefield, although I have learned some from my family before, but I am not very proficient, and I have won a few people by brute force, and now I need to practice hard. ”

"The emperor will go to the battlefield in person in the future?"

"Since you're here, hiding behind you is like something, naturally you want to go. ”

Seeing her resolute eyes, the owner of the twilight village couldn't help but admire a little.

In this matter, the rest of the Du family and Lin Yun and others also came to this open space to practice morning exercises, and when they happened to see the two of them, they said in their hearts that they were really early.

Seeing that her husband didn't know how, Mrs. Twilight was even more displeased with this woman, and saw that she was holding a spear, and felt that she was greedy, not a real swordsmanship master as rumored.

The Twilight family stood together, but it was Lin Yun and the others who saluted their sister.

Sister Yan doesn't care, but she is not a person who will put a hot face on the cold face of the Dusk family, "Lin Yun, why are you here?"

"Hearing about the tragedy in southern Xinjiang, we are armed with martial arts, naturally we want to hoe the strong and help the weak, and when we arrive in southern Xinjiang, the emperor solves the danger of southern Xinjiang in one fell swoop, and we will go west to prepare to join the army and contribute our own strength, so as to avoid the tragedy in southern Xinjiang from happening again. ”
