Kou Xiu is a very inconspicuous prince of the Kou royal family, and has never even been talked about.

A prince's retainer tribe cannot be considered a commoner tribe at all.

Tan Ji said, raised his eyes to look at Qin Wa, and asked:

"Such a critical location, even ordinary civilian tribes, can't let them be stationed in this place."

Sheng Jiaojiao stood in the backyard and nodded repeatedly, ordinary civilian tribes would not be stationed in such a sensitive place.

And since the development of the subject country, there are no ordinary civilian tribes at all.

Because although the subject country has a royal family, they are also nomadic tribes, and they move around a large wasteland all year round to make a living.

These tribes are actually equivalent to the military camps of Daze, and the men in each tribe are for the people in peacetime and soldiers in wartime, which is the same as the Zhishou County, which is the closest to the subject country.

It's just that the tribes of the subject country are more militarized in management than the villages in Zhishou County.

With the fall of the royal family, the jurisdiction over the various tribes has become more and more dissolved, and the grievances between the tribes have deepened, and the tribes are desperately developing their forces, and the civilian tribes do not exist at all.

The subject country is a play of the jungle, and the weak tribes have either been slaughtered or annexed cleanly.

Sheng Jiaojiao summed up this point and wrote it in the book for Tan Ji.

Most of the people in Zhishou County, which are adjacent to the same subject country, actually know this, but because it is close to the subject country, it is too poor, too partial, and too backward in cultural development.

Some things are just gossip, existing in people's word of mouth, and never registered.

So the meaning of the rumors changed, and the real news became fake.

In addition, they had never heard of Kou Xiu before, so Qin Wa and Bai Tao both felt that such a little-known small tribe would not attack them.

And who is Kou Xiu, ha, Kou Xiu is by no means just an unknown prince.

After this battle, starting from the strangulation of Qin Wa and Bai Tao, Kou Xiuhui gradually grew into one of the most fierce, warlike, and murderous generals in the subject country.

He is the most capable prince of the royal family in the future, and can lead the subject country south to capture Daze.

But unfortunately, he was later killed by Tan Ji.

Of course, if Tan Ji hadn't killed Kou Xiu, maybe Kou Xiu would inherit the throne of the subject country and become the king of the subject country, then Daze's future would be even more stormy.

When Sheng Jiaojiao summarized the customs, human geography, and royal secrets of the subject country, she especially wanted to mention this Kou Xiu to Tan Ji.

But in order not to make Tan Ji suspicious, Sheng Jiaojiao had to spend a lot of space and write about every member of the entire royal family.

With Tan Ji's acumen, he will naturally notice this prince who is brave and good at fighting, smart and witty, but has a tyrannical and obedient personality.

As long as he has any suspicions, he will check this prince through various channels, and this prince's retainers will naturally be noticed by Tan Ji.

Qin Wa was silent, he didn't expect that on the side of his couch, there would be a tribe of retainers belonging to the prince, this is worth it?

So he looked at Tan Ji and asked:

"So what do we do now? Drive them away? ”

Tan Ji frowned slightly, obviously it was very unrealistic to drive them away, because the territory of the subject country was very vast, and driving them away was like driving the small fish stranded on the shore back to the sea.

As soon as it turned, the little fish would return to the shore at some point, waiting for an opportunity to turn into a fierce dragon and attack the humans on the shore.

"I robbed them directly, why drive them away?"

Qi Zhang took a sip of wine, smiled at Qin Wa, and said:

"What a chance to make a fortune, Master, if you don't do it, do it for me, I am short of leather goods in this camp for the winter."

"Are you a bandit?"

Bai Tao stared at Qi Zhang, and before he could finish speaking, he was poured a sip of wine by his nephew Qi Ming.

As soon as a bowl of wine was drunk, Qi Zhang handed another bowl forward, and the white pottery was so confused by the two brothers Qi Zhang and Qi Ming.

He slapped the table, blushed, and scolded:

"The subject country is too deceitful! Hemp, him."

Sheng Jiaojiao, who was standing in the backyard and listening, couldn't help laughing, she stood at the back door of the stove room, beckoned to Zhou, and when Zhou came over, Sheng Jiaojiao looked at her and whispered to Zhou:

"Auntie, bring them the strongest wine from my uncle."

"This is what to do, I'm afraid I'm going to get drunk."

Zhou's hands were black, and she wiped it on her apron, she was a woman, and she had been worried since she started, for fear that the two brothers Qi Zhang and Qi Ming would quarrel with Qin Wa and Bai Tao.

If you're all drunk, you can't draw your sword and make a few strokes?

Sheng Jiaojiao had an encouraging expression on her face, and said in a low voice:

"It is to get them drunk, and if they are not drunk, they will not be able to speak well."

Seeing that the eldest girl Qi was going home with a basket of embroidery work, she said:

"Auntie, you ask my aunt to help you cook, and I'll go back to the house and write a few contracts."

With that, she turned and left.

Cooking and stir-frying is not her forte at all, just like doing embroidery work, she can also make a look, purely in order to please Yin Ze in her previous life, what clothes she made for him, soup stewed for him with her own hands, etc., are all made like this.

In fact, it's all the palace people doing it.

She's better to do what she does best.

The Zhou family had no choice but to do what Sheng Jiaojiao said, went back to the big house, moved out the several jars of spirits that Uncle Qi had saved, and put them on the table of the stove room.

When Qi Zhang saw it, his eyelids jumped, and he turned his head to find Sheng Jiaojiao, who had already slipped away.

Looking at Qi Ming again, Qi Ming smiled sullenly, lifted the red silk on the wine jar again, and shouted at Bai Tao,

"Uncle, come, let's drink!"

The eldest girl of Qi was called into the stove room by the Zhou family, helped to fry a few dishes, and when they were brought to the table, Bai Tao and Qin Wa were already a little dizzy.

Qi Zhang and Qi Ming drank with the two of them, and they were also a little drunk.

Tan Ji was still sober, he hooked the wine bowl with two fingers, slowly took a sip of wine, ate another bite of food, and glanced at the back door of the stove room, revealing a corner of the smoky gray dress.

A white and tender hand leaned out from behind the wooden door, and then there was Sheng Jiaojiao's beautiful face.

She bent her bright eyes slightly and beckoned to Tan Ji.

It's a bit like the little fox fairy who suddenly appeared outside the broken thatched house in the wilderness, and is doing bad to the innocent scholars in the house~~

Tan Ji's heart "thumped" twice, and he raised his head to see that in addition to the men in the stove house, Zhou and Qi Da Girl had already returned to their own room.

They made room for a few men to talk about things,

So Tan Ji got up, walked to the back door, and turned his head to one side, and saw Sheng Jiaojiao standing outside the door.

She held a few pieces of paper in her hand, all of which were stuffed into Tan Ji's arms, and he subconsciously reached out to hug them, with a questioning face.

"In black and white, let Master Qin and Uncle Bai sign and draw the pledge, and when they wake up, they are not afraid that they will not recognize it."

Sheng Jiaojiao said, her face was full of cleverness, her phoenix eyes were dazzling brilliance, and she was cunning and moving.

The little fox fairy finally hooked the scholar out of a dilapidated thatched house.

Tan Jijian's eyebrows frowned slightly, his dark eyes looked at Sheng Jiaojiao, and he slowly looked down again, there were several contracts in his arms, which roughly meant the contracts of the four military camps in the southeast and northwest of Jumping Horse Lake to purchase medicinal herbs and side dishes from the Qi family, as well as apples.

His brain was a little hot because of the strong liquor, but he still maintained a strong sobriety, and asked:

"Apple? What is it? ”

"It's a kind of fruit."

Sheng Jiaojiao said, took out an apple from her sleeve, stuffed it directly into Tan Ji's hand, and said:

"It's delicious, you can sign it, I won't get you, I can quench my thirst."

When the words fell, she picked up the hem of her skirt and turned around to leave, turned around again, and looked at Tan Ji, who had drunk a lot of wine today, with a smile on her face, and the tail of her eyes seemed to have hooks.

"Tan Ji."

"Hmm." Tan Ji held a few contracts in one hand and an apple in the other, and his reaction was a little slow, raising his eyes to look at her.

In the afterglow, the smile on Sheng Jiaojiao's face was even worse,

"Don't drink too much, there's a time for you to drink celebratory wine."

After telling her, Sheng Jiaojiao left.

Leaving Tan Ji silently standing at the back door of the Qi family's stove room, looking at the place where Sheng Jiaojiao left, he was stunned for a long time.

He couldn't tell if he had drunk too much or if he was inexplicably in the way of a goblin.

Before I knew it, it was done.

Tan Ji took advantage of the night last night to leave the Qi family and return to Dongying, Bai Tao and Qin Wa stayed in Qi's house, Bai Tao stayed in Erlang Qi Ming's room, and Qin Wa stayed in Qi Zhang's room.

When Bai Tao and Qin Wa sobered up, they didn't know why, they had already signed a contract with Sheng Jiaojiao to buy their own baggage from the Qi family, and Tan Ji, Qi Zhang, and Qi Ming were witnesses.

Everyone pressed their handprints on it.

The contract was in duplicate, one was in Sheng Jiaojiao's hand, and the other was folded into strips and inserted on the collars of Qi Zhang, Qin Wa and Bai Tao, and Tan Ji's share, he brought it back himself.

After seeing this contract, Qin Wa didn't say a word, grabbed the contract and rode back to the camp.

Bai Tao picked up a broom in the courtyard of the Qi family, chased Qi Ming for a few circles, and finally carried Qi Ming's back collar and returned to the camp.

Qi Zhang entered Sheng Jiaojiao's house, looked at Qi Huan, who was writing in the room with a smile on his face, and asked:

"Four, where is your sister?"

"Sister? Sister said that the weather was good today, and she went to Niu Ju's house to sit down. ”

Oh, Qi Zhang's face suddenly realized, when she got up early in the morning, she was afraid that Qin Wa and Bai Tao would find her to settle accounts, so Sheng Jiaojiao ran away first.

Seeing that the four guys were trapped in Sheng Jiaojiao's room to write, a little face was suffering, and asked him pitifully,

"Big brother, can I go out and practice swords?"

"What did your sister tell you to do?"

"Let me write, write so many words."

He shook the large stack of straw paper stacked on the table, and it felt a little dark.

"Then I'll go back when I'm done practicing the words."

Qi Zhang's face was expressionless, he looked at Qi Silao ruthlessly, turned around, walked out of Sheng Jiaojiao's house, took the white paper and black letters, he signed, and also pressed the handprint of the Xiying self-purchase baggage contract, and returned to his Xiying.

With such a large supply, Qi Zhang hopes that Sheng Jiaojiao will not collapse.

Originally, Qi Hua would send a cart of goods to Xiying every day, Qi Zhang didn't care, only when Sheng Jiaojiao and Qi Hua were idle at home, and they made a small fuss, and the supplier was referred to Sheng Jiaojiao by Qi Ming, and under the premise that the quality of medicinal materials was guaranteed, he should make some small money for his family.

Now the four military camps in the southeast, northwest, and northwest of Vaulting Horse Lake have signed a contract with Sheng Jiaojiao in black and white, so it is not a joke.

The supply of medicinal herbs, side dishes, and apples for 4,000 soldiers is already a serious business.

Sheng Jiaojiao also thought about this.

Originally, he made a small fuss, and sent a cart of small vegetables and medicinal herbs to the east and west military camps one day, and Qi Huan was a child, and he could still take care of it.

After all, there are more and less goods delivered every day, and there are no hard and fast rules.

Now he has to send a fixed amount of medicinal herbs, side vegetables and apples to the four military camps every day, Qi Hua is three heads and six arms, and he can't pick and harvest so many things.

In the barracks, as long as there is no war, medicinal materials are not used by everyone every day.

But side dishes are eaten every day and everyone.

So Sheng Jiaojiao went to find Niu Ju early in the morning.

Niu Ju's house was bare, without a shadow of a green tree, and a lone sheep was tied to the stone mill in the yard, bleating.

Compared with the Qi family, which has more men, the Niu family has three people, and there is only one girl, so the house is much simpler, one hall house, two ear rooms, all ear houses, all earthen houses, and even one of them has a hole dug in the soil slope, which is a cave house.

Sheng Jiaojiao was standing outside the courtyard, and just about to call Niu Ju, she heard Xiong Lin scolding in the house:

"With that money, buy a sheep and come back to be a farmer, raise and can't support it, save the money as your own dowry, okay, now that the Tan Halberd is developed, I can't look down on our family, I think he will marry a golden phoenix in the future, we can't look down on honest and honest girls like us, who can he fancy him?"

Outside the bare loess yard, Sheng Jiaojiao heard Xiong Lin scolding Tan Ji, and her heart was on fire, and she smiled and said:

"This early in the morning, who is the cow lady scolding? Beware of being listened to, and said that Niu Ju was sad to marry, and forced it to Tan Dalang, and Tan Dalang didn't want it, which damaged Niu Ju's reputation in vain. ”

The clamor in the room died down suddenly.

After a while, Niu Ju ran out of the hall with red eyes, grabbed Sheng Jiaojiao's wrist, and said in a low voice:

"Let's go."

Sheng Jiaojiao glanced at the Niu family hall where there was no movement, but was still dragged by Niu Ju and went to a secluded place.

Along the way, Niu Ju was obviously in a bad mood, pulling Sheng Jiaojiao's wrist and walking forward with her head down.

Sheng Jiaojiao didn't speak, just followed Niu Ju like this, walking, and when she arrived in front of a loess slope, Niu Ju sat on the ground and cried:

"Jiaojiao, what are you doing with me, are you here to see my joke?"
