The aftermath of Bibo City is still being carried out in an orderly manner: the garrison sends the leader of the rebel army led by Shiro Oshiji to Huadu to be tried; The Baocang army withdrew and returned first; Silver bounties against the dead are also being distributed.

By the time they returned to Haixi Mansion after they were busy with everything, it was already the tenth day of September. The happiest thing for the soldiers began: exchanging their ears for silver. Wei Yangyang was not a registered soldier, so there was no way to go to the reward office and line up. She waited at Wei's house all day, and when Wei Bingyue came back, she happily raised the bag: "This is my fifteen ears, and I want to give me three hundred acres of land." Wei Bingyue looked at her angrily: "You can only receive 1,500 taels of silver, not land." Wei Yangyang thought that Wei Bingyue had made a mistake, and shook the bag desperately: "Why? I have fifteen ears, aren't they five hundred acres of land? Wei Bingyue thought for a while, and then said: "Oh, no, you cut off the ears of the prince of the king, that doesn't count, there are only fourteen." ”

Shen Mingxu was only cut off by her, and he was not dead, and he had been taken to Huadu at this time. Wei Yangyang regretted it, why did he only think about taking him as a hostage but didn't kill him, but unfortunately, he missed a hundred taels. She puffed up her cheeks and said, "Okay, fourteen is fourteen, then you have to give me two hundred acres of land, right?" Wei Bingyue didn't want to say more to her at all: "Last time, my father asked you to take 5,000 taels out and return them to Admiral Yuan, I see that you are reluctant to spit out the silver ticket in your hand, but I took my own 5,000 taels and went to someone's house to apologize." It's not enough for you to give me the reward for fourteen ears this time, do you still want land? Besides, sooner or later you have to get married, what do you want land for? Even if you change the land, you still have to give it to me. Last time, it was indeed the money he helped Wei Yangyang pay back, so now Wei Yangyang can't talk about him. But when he thought that he was going to cut off his ears in a hurry, he wanted to take them, and he was reluctant. She suddenly thought that her horse was killed by Wei Bingyue in front of the battle, and immediately grabbed the handle: "What about my meow?" I've been raising it for more than two years, and I've been bathing and feeding it forage by myself, so it's more than five thousand taels of silver, right? If you don't give me land, you pay me for my meow! ”

After the war, the brother and sister rarely had time, so they were arguing in the garden, and happened to meet Shen Mingyuan walking in, seeing Wei Yangyang grabbing Wei Bingyue and not letting go, and asked, "What are you two brothers and sisters doing?" Wei Yangyang said angrily: "Lu Gongzi commented on the theory, everyone in front of the two armies heard that they could get the silver territory with their ears, and even the rebels who surrendered halfway to sincerity received it, why didn't they give it to me?" Not only did my starling not give me land, but he also coveted my ears. By the way, he killed my horse. Wei Bingyue looked down at her and whispered, "You don't sue the wicked first." He raised his head again and replied to Shen Mingyuan: "It's not that I won't give it to her, she wants land, not silver." What do you want to do in a girl's house? ”

Shen Mingyuan smiled and said, "General Wei, since there is a reward for warriors before the battle, as long as Miss Wei meets the requirements, she should also be given land, right?" Wei Yangyang immediately introduced him as a confidant, and echoed in a loud voice: "Yes, yes, yes, you see, Lu Gongzi is very reasonable, in the end, he is a scholar, but it is different." "When Shen Mingyuan was shouting at the north gate of Bibo City, she was attacking the city at the west gate, so she didn't know the identity of the other party. And in order to protect Shen Mingyuan, after returning to the Wei family, everyone still called him Lu Gongzi and treated him as usual. Since Shen Mingyuan opened his mouth, Wei Bingyue had to reluctantly agree: "Yes, yes, then give her a hundred acres of land, and the rest will be converted into silver." He turned back to teach Wei Yangyang: "The land can be given to you, but you are not allowed to make trouble, and when I turn around, I will find you a few good horses." ”

After dealing with the rebels and solving the crisis in the southwest of the sea, the next step is to clean up the water demons. The Wei family did not act rashly, but first sat on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, watching the water demons attack Hayes. Shen Mingyuan is still the same as before, living in the blue camp of the Wei Family Army, and Wei Bingyue still asked Wei Yangyang to be his guard. But he found that Wei Yangyang's attitude towards him had changed greatly since he was seen by him that day, and he only worked as a guard outside the tent every day, and did not come in to eat or talk to him much.

That night, he walked out of the tent again and saw Wei Yangyang feeding forage to a jujube red horse. The horse was given to her by Cheek Sail when she returned from Hayes at the beginning of the year, and she named it "Woo". Shen Mingyuan wanted to find a topic, so he exclaimed: "This horse is a good horse." Seeing that Wei Yangyang still ignored him, he said hesitantly: "That day, I didn't mean it, I didn't do it later," "Hey!" , Wei Yangyang shouted at him: "You just did it on purpose, I told you to let it go." ”

Shen Mingyuan knew that he was wrong, so he didn't get angry at her big noise, but still accompanied by a smile: "I really didn't know that looking at the girl's hair was to marry her." ”

Wei Yangyang was so angry that he couldn't kill him, so he stomped his feet on the sand desperately: "Shut up, don't mention it again!" You're afraid that others won't know, right? Still yelling everywhere? If it weren't for you being a guest of our Wei family, I would have been, I would have been," she clenched her fists, and what she wanted to say was obviously "I would have killed you a long time ago." Shen Mingyuan hurriedly waved his hand: "I didn't shout everywhere, I didn't tell anyone about this, not even Ling Quan knows." Wei Yangyang put down his fist and threatened him: "It's just right that you didn't say it." I'm telling you, if someone else knows about it and I can't get married, I'll be. She said and made a motion to wipe her neck. Shen Mingyuan felt a chill in his heart, and thought: You can't get married in the first place. What does this have to do with me looking at your hair? He thought so in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it, and his words changed: "Hey, if you don't do this, I will make amends to you." Shall I teach you how to write? ”

Wei Yangyang snorted, but still sat down and waited for him to teach. Shen Mingyuan saw that the other party was not so angry, so he took the opportunity to ask: "Your name is Lu Yang, is there a word?" Wei Yangyang was still puffed up, but he still answered his question: "Well, my word is "Shengnan". Shen Mingyuan sighed: "Fifteen sons of the general guard, is it not enough?" The word given to you is also called Katsuo? Wei Yangyang turned his head and glared at him: "What's the matter, this word is not good?" How dare Shen Mingyuan refute her: "No, no, it's better than a man, it's good." ”

He picked up a dead branch, wrote the word "Katsuo" on the ground, and said the essentials again. Wei Yangyang wrote according to it for a while, and suddenly thought of something, raised his head and asked him, "Why haven't you returned to Huadu?" Want to stay with us all the time? Shen Mingyuan replied: "My father, oh, the emperor wants me to stay and go back after dealing with the affairs of the Water Demon Kingdom." Why, you don't like me living here? Wei Yangyang bit his lower lip: "No, you are my brother's friend, you can live as long as you like." ”

Shen Mingyuan then flattered her and found a topic she liked: "I had only heard that the Wei family army was powerful before, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful. 40,000 against 60,000 people, who would have thought that not only did they not fall behind at all, but they could also counterattack and defeat the strong with the weak. I've been thinking about it for the past few days, what should I do if I were a guard soldier and faced with front and back attacks. I thought about it, but I didn't come up with a good solution. When Wei Yangyang heard him say this, he put down the branch in his hand and asked him: "Defeat the strong with the weak, do you think our Wei family army is the weak side?" Shen Mingyuan didn't understand why she asked: "Well, there are not enough people, there is not enough food and grass, and the weapons are not as good as others." It's clear that the Wei family army is at a disadvantage. Wei Yangyang was very unconvinced: "Our numbers and weapons are not as good as theirs. However, we are more familiar than them, more experienced than them, and most importantly, we are brave. Why don't you compare this to this? ”

Shen Mingyuan knew that she didn't read much, so he originally provoked this conversation, just to chat with her. Unexpectedly, he was full of poetry and books, but he was asked by this girl on the spot. Wei Yangyang didn't wait for him to come up with an answer, and then asked: "You also went to the battlefield, can you see the difference between our two sides when they were fighting?" The rebels were holding the new artillery sent by the Ministry of Industry this year, but they were not even skilled in loading ammunition, so they really wasted such a good artillery. In this desert, who doesn't know the prestige of our Weijia Army? As soon as my father's red flag was erected in front of the battle, they were so frightened that their legs and feet weakened. I have also seen some people who are so scared that they can't even put an arrow on the string, how can this win? Have you ever heard that defeat is like a mountain? What is the weak beating the strong, and whoever wins in the end is the strongest! ”

Originally, she just wanted to show off Wei Jiajun's exploits, but Shen Mingyuan noticed her last sentence: "Whoever wins in the end is strong!" He repeated this sentence repeatedly, and even clapped his hands: "Makes sense! Reasonable! Where did the weak defeat the strong, and whoever wins is the strong! "When he was in Huadu, he was taught the art of war by the successive military department scholars, but he never practiced it on the battlefield. Unexpectedly, those scholars who have read both military books and military and military books have not yet had a girl who can speak clearly. He only saw the gap in strength and weapons between the two sides, but he did not negotiate with Xidi and Storm Jie first; Let Wei Yang send the letter; Take the lead in starving in front of the soldiers to stabilize the morale of the soldiers. In addition, the Wei family's army has advanced formations, tacit cooperation, and no death, which is also the key to defeating the rebels. In the face of such an army, the rebel army commanded by the inexperienced King Yi, even with the best weapons at the moment, was still defeated.

He also thought that compared with Shen Mingbao and Shen Mingyuan, he originally had the upper hand, the two of them were born to the Empress Yuan, and his mother was the successor. He is the youngest of the princes, and he doesn't read very well, and his father is not satisfied. But just like Wei Yangyang said, the matter of fighting for the prince has not yet been settled, and before he finally enters the East Palace, who can say that he has the chance to win? It is not impossible to beat the enemy's flanking attack into an outflanking of the enemy, as is the case with the garrison. After all, whoever wins, who is strong! After thinking about this, he felt that Wei Yangyang was not only unlearned, but simply Bingxue was smart, and he immediately introduced her as a confidant in his heart. If Wei Yangyang is a boy, I am afraid that he will immediately marry Jin Lan with the other party.

On the Wei family's side, they got the news one after another. In mid-July, Cheek Wave Snow Butterfly killed Zu Hui and began to gather the nation's troops to fight against the Water Demon Army, and sent a distress letter to Bibo City. But the prince himself was busy raising troops and did not rescue him. Although the Water Demon Kingdom has been tossed for a few years, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, the army is superior, and it has seven battles and seven victories, all the way from the White Leopard City to the capital of the Haisi Kingdom, Guilai City, and continues to fight to Zhilu City. And Zhilu City is the last line of defense in front of Black Panther City, the fiefdom of the Gillbo family. At the beginning of September, Cheek Butterflies gathered her forces and prepared for a decisive battle with the Water Demon Cavalry outside Zhilu City.

Lan Ying followed the water demon army all the way, and sent the news back to Haixi in a steady stream. When he received a report that the water demons had reached the outside of Zhilu City, Wei Shuping also rushed to the blue camp. Shen Mingyuan asked him: "General Guard, I don't understand militarily, can this Water Demon Army take Black Panther City?" Wei Shuping was very sure: "This time I will definitely be able to take the Panther City, and Hayes will die sooner or later." Shen Mingyuan asked again: "If Hayes dies in the country, will it be good or bad for me to be great?" Wei Shuping shook his head: "The Water Demon is stronger than the Hays, if we let it annex the Hays, we will fight again, it will not be so easy." But Hayes is a small country, and if it wins, it won't be able to make waves in the future. Shen Mingyuan asked again: "You mean, we can help Hayes, unite with Tyrant and Xidi, and flank the water demons?" ”

Wei Shuping recounted his plan: "Yes, we can release the news to the two countries of Xidi and Tyrant, and they will definitely be willing to fight the water demons with us." However, there are two difficulties here. Shen Mingyuan looked at him and motioned for him to continue.

The garrison said: "One. It must be ensured that Black Panther City can hold on for at least half a month, otherwise, if it is breached in a few days, there is no point in sneak attacking. Two. We'll have to convince Cheekwaves to work with us. But will he believe us? This is not sure of the general. Wei Bingyue opened his mouth and said: "Father, we only need to ensure that Haisi Guo cooperates with us, this person does not necessarily want to be a snow butterfly." Shen Mingyuan was puzzled: "King Hayes is dead, if we don't use this regent, who else can call the shots?" ”

Wei Shuping immediately understood what Wei Bingyue meant, and explained: "King Hayes has no power, the general controls the government, and the Cheek Bo family is a hereditary general of Zhenguo, holding military power, if he is killed or captured, it is natural that his son should continue to be the general of Zhenguo." His eldest son is dead, and now he has only one younger son, and he does not understand military affairs at all. If we support his youngest son, then from now on, Hayes will no longer be a threat to our Dayang. Shen Mingyuan asked again: "Then, his youngest son, is he willing to cooperate with us?" Wei Shuping repeated all the preparations he had made before: "His youngest son is a reasonable man, and he can send my daughter to persuade him to submit to Dayang." Let's wait until the cheek Bo family can't bear it before we take action to rescue him from fire and water, I think he is willing to be obedient. The three of them discussed the details again, and then the garrison took the tiger talisman to persuade Xidi and Tyrant to send troops together.

The father and son left Shen Mingyuan's tent, and Wei Shuping handed over the matter of persuading Wei Yangyang to go to Black Panther City. Wei Bingyue strongly objected: "How is that possible, how can Xiaoni be willing to go?" I went to great lengths to trick her into writing last time. This time, she was afraid of holding her with a knife, and she refused. Wei Shuping didn't want to ask for his opinion, he only needed him to carry it out: "That's your business, today you proposed to help Hayes, then you go and convince her." Wei Bingyue realized that this was his father playing tricks on him: "Tell me to persuade her, it's better to kill me with a knife." ”

Wei Shuping thought for a while: "If you don't want to go, it's okay, then you go and do another thing." Wei Bingyue nodded like pounding garlic: "Okay, okay, as long as you don't let me be a lobbyist, you can tell me to do anything." Wei Shuping looked at him: "Then you go and find her an in-law." At this moment, Wei Bingyue only has one sentence in his heart: Jiang is still old and spicy! His face was full of helplessness: "Then, I'll persuade her to go to Black Panther City!" He touched his face, thinking of the bloody marks on his face that he was scratched by Wei Yang last time in Gusu, and he didn't know what he was going to be beaten by her this time. Forget it, it's less difficult than finding her in-laws. So he bowed to the garrison and withdrew, and went to find Wei Yangyang.

But no matter what he said, Wei Yangyang just refused: "Hmph, last time you beat me, I haven't complained to my father, do you dare to come this time?" I'm not going to help the old brute. Wei Bingyue accompanied the smiling face: "Last time, didn't you get angry." Wei Yangyang said angrily: "I'm angry, it doesn't mean that I forgive you." "Hey." He wanted to scold back, but he was afraid that his father would hear about it and scold him again, so he didn't dare in the end, so he had to continue to understand the reason: "You don't want to watch that trust die?" ”

Wei Yangyang deliberately angered him: "I want to, but if you want to kill him, you lead the soldiers to kill, cut him into meat sauce with real knives and guns, and take his bones back to stew soup." What are you asking me to do, I'm not Wang Zhaojun. "When she was very young, she knew that if the border soldiers couldn't beat others, she had to send Wang Zhaojun to make peace; If you can't fight again, you will have to cede the land and pay compensation, which is a great shame for a country. Hearing her compare herself to Wang Zhaojun, Wei Bingyue couldn't help laughing.

He pinched Wei Yangyang's face: "Oh, Wang Zhaojun is a great beauty, do you think you can also make a beauty?" Wei Yangyang immediately protested: "Don't pinch my buns!" ”

The two of them grew up together, and Wei Bingyue naturally knew what she liked, so he began to lure: "When I go to Huadu at the end of the year to report on work, I'll bring you a carload of delicious food, okay?" Wei Yangyang snorted and did not speak. Wei Bingyue gritted his teeth and said, "Add another cart of wine from the Western Regions." Wei Yangyang didn't speak yet. Wei Bingyue finally added: "Plus this year's Star Building to eat ten meals." "That starry building is the best restaurant in Bibo City, Wei Yangyang lives in Lanying all the year round, and she can't go to Bibo City ten times a year, he said this, naturally she is allowed to run and play often this year. Hearing this, Wei Yangyang's expression began to change.

He saw that Wei Yangyang's attitude had changed, and then said: "And your little crossbow, I'll give you another 100 crossbow arrows, it's always okay, right?" "Her small crossbow is specially made, although it is small, but the crossbow arrows are more difficult to make than the crossbow arrows of the big crossbow, and she has to find two craftsmen to make them for her, and she can only make more than twenty sticks a month. Moreover, the poison on the arrow is a good product that seals the throat with blood, and is refined from a plant. And Haixi is not the origin of the plant, Wei Bingyue has to spend silver every time, and it is very rare to find someone to transport it from the southwest. So she is usually reluctant to use it unless she is in an emergency. A hundred crossbow arrows cost a lot, enough for her to use for a long time. That's why she nodded, pretending to be embarrassed and said, "Then for your sake, I'll go." Wei Bingyue thought helplessly: My face? My face was bought for a few thousand taels of silver.
