Zhuge Weidao left Petersburg in January 1826 in the Western calendar, first by train, then by horse-drawn sleigh, then by horse-drawn carriage, and then by horse-drawn carriage, and then rested for a few days in Bagua City, and did all the things that should not be done, and finally embarked on the eastward road. It was not until May 1826 that it approached the westernmost border of the Great Tomorrow Dynasty, which was impossible to escape.

At this time, the Ili grassland is already the season of spring flowers and grass fertilizer, the warm spring breeze blows on the grassland moistened by the melting snow of the Tianshan Mountains, and the grass that has grown fast and has not exceeded the thigh of an adult rolls with the wind, looking as if the waves on the sea are undulating. In the endless green waves, dotted with small yurts. Large herds of cattle and sheep flow in the green sea of grass. This scenery can be used to make a poem.

"Sister Natalie, look, there's a fortress there...... It should be the border fortress of Daming, we have finally arrived in Daming! ”

"Sister Nalan, do you really want to go to Daming?"

"Well, of course, Da Ming is the Celestial Empire...... I heard that the boss of Beijing City is bigger than ten gossip cities, and there are a lot of delicious and fun things in the city! ”

"Really? When the time comes, will my sister take her to Beijing to play everywhere? ”

"Good ......"

The cheerful conversation between the two good sisters once again succeeded in attracting Zhuge Weidao's attention, and his gaze shifted from the surrounding grassland scenery to the backs of the two good sisters in front of him, wearing hats, riding long-legged horses, and walking at the front of the line. That's Natalie and Nalandili, and they're both getting better now!

Natalie lost her temper because Nalandi was coming, and she smashed something, and almost turned into a female hairy bear. But I don't know what's going on, after she and Nalandili got along for a few days, the two actually became inseparable good sisters who didn't talk about anything. The two of them ate and slept together along the way, as if they were good or something. So much so that Zhuge Weidao was a little suspicious of Natalie's orientation...... If it continues to develop like this, don't Zhuge Weidao didn't accept Fairy Nalan, Natalie will strike first!

Who is the Nalan Fairy then? Who is Natalie in? Zhuge is the way...... What kind of identity is in this family?

It's so anxious to think about it!

When Zhuge Weidao was in a hurry, a military horn suddenly sounded in the fortress in front of him. Zhuge Weidao hurriedly raised a telescope to look, only to see that a group of cavalry had rushed out of the fortress at some point, all in gray tweed uniforms, with mounted rifles on their backs and black steel helmets on their heads. The sun shone on the pitch-black steel helmet, reflecting a chilling light.

Just looking at the appearance of this cavalry, the armament of the Ming Empire does not seem to be relaxed at the moment - after all, since King Wuzhong, there has been no major war in the Ili area, and the sky is a small battle to suppress bandits and quell chaos.

"Stop moving...... The whole team! ”

The leader of the 18th Banner who led the escort suddenly shouted at the top of his voice, and then there was a loud and rapid military trumpet.

The Eight Banners of the Jin Empire who escorted Zhuge Weidao and Natalie through the Jin Empire were all the Eight Banners vests of the Jin Empire, and when they heard the order, they immediately stopped their horses, and then ran to the back of the convoy like a gust of wind and lined up in a horizontal line.

Zhuge Weidao also stopped his big Yanma, and then looked back at these Eight Banner soldiers, these Eight Banner Soldiers...... I definitely don't smoke "cigarettes", and I guess I can't afford to buy "cigarettes", so everyone is full of energy and has a solid physique. Their horsemanship looked good, too, and no one fell off their horses along the way.

As for their mounted shooting...... Bows and arrows have been eliminated, all have been replaced with revolvers, and they are also equipped with sabers for slashing. Cotton armor and gun helmets seem to have become ceremonial clothing, and Zhuge Weidao has seen them in Bagua City. However, the Eight Banners soldiers who escorted him through the territory of the Jin Empire wore black or dark blue robes and horse coats every day, and there was no steel helmet on their heads, only a warm hat without a top or a hat.

Zhuge Weidao looked at their neat appearance, and pondered in his heart: "Looking at their appearance, they should be able to meet the three soldiers of the East India Company, right?" I'm looking forward to the scene of 'Daqing' asking for money from Daying! ”

"One hundred and eight masters! One Hundred and Eight Masters...... You can suffer! ”

When Zhuge Weidao was assessing the combat strength of the Eight Banners of the Golden Empire, someone behind him suddenly shouted "One Hundred and Eight Masters", and he didn't know who it was? Just as he was thinking of this, Yu Hui, the Ming ambassador to Bagua City who came with him, had already spoken: "Daozi, Daozi, someone called you...... Someone from your family has come to pick you up! ”

This Yu Hui shouldn't have come with him, but when Zhuge Weidao left Bagua City, he suddenly received an urgent call from Lin Zexu, a scholar of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, asking him to return to China to report on his work, so he came with him.

And Zhuge Weidao couldn't touch Natalie all the way, and he couldn't reach Fairy Nalan, so he could only go with this "Yu handsome guy" and Guo Xiaobao.

"Call me?" Zhuge was stunned for a moment, "I'm one hundred and eight masters?" ”

Guo Xiaobao on the other side smiled and said: "Yes, Brother Daozi, you can do one hundred and eight!" ”

Zhuge was taken aback by Dao: "I, I have one hundred and seven brothers above me?" ”

Guo Xiaobao nodded and said, "Yes, this is still the order of the characters, and the sons who died early and did not enter the Longzhong spectrum are not counted...... There are dozens of younger brothers down there! This is the Great Family! ”

The Great Family?

Big stallion, right?

Zhuge said for Daoxin: "No wonder Natalie and Mikhail say that I have many brothers and fierce competition...... I didn't expect the 'Zhuge Military Division' to be rolled up like this! ”

Thinking of being a "military advisor", Zhuge Weidao hurriedly asked Yu Hui and Guo Xiaobao: "Changfu and Baozhi, how many military advisors are there in the Zhuge family now?" ”

"Seventeen," Guo Xiaobao said, "Brother Daozi, you have to be selected as the Eighteenth Army Division." ”

"It's quite a lot," Zhuge Weidao said, "out of more than a hundred brothers, there are eighteen military divisions, more than one." ”

"More than a hundred," Guo Xiaobao said, "Brother Daozi, don't forget the uncle who has the character generation and the younger generation of the Yangzi generation, the Wei character generation, and the four-character generation...... Your family is five generations in the same house! ”

"Five generations in the same house?" Zhuge asked, "How many Zhuge are there?" ”

"There are more than 800 men who have already made teeth," Guo Xiaobao said, "and there are many talented people among them." ”

"Eight Hundred Zhuge ......"

Zhuge said for the Taoist heart: "Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Wuzhong King are too far behind, Zhuge Liang must have eight hundred little Zhuge under him, pinch his fingers together, Sima Yi will definitely kneel!" ”

When he was shocked by the "Eight Hundred Zhuge Brothers", those gray-clothed cavalry with steel helmets had stopped dozens of paces in front of Natalie and Nalandili, and also excluded the two horizontal columns, and they all looked very angry.

There were also a few men in civilian clothes who came with these gray-clothed cavalry, one of them seemed to be very good with Zhuge Weidao, and while riding a horse and crying "One Hundred and Eight Masters", he did not stop with those cavalry, but directly rushed to Zhuge Weidao, only to restrain the horses, and then turned over and dismounted, and respectfully made a gesture to Zhuge Weidao: "How can your subordinates naturally visit the one hundred and eight masters, one hundred and eight masters, your injuries are better?" ”

Subordinate?

How natural?

Zhuge Weidao looked at the man in his thirties who saluted him, and he looked like a talent, gentle and elegant, but he didn't look like an officer, but like a businessman.

"Brother Daozi," Guo Xiaobao knew that Zhuge Weidao must not have remembered who He Tianran was, so he hurried up and said, "This Brother He is a college classmate of your brother Eighty-Eight Masters, and he is also your manager. ”

"Manager?" Zhuge Weidao didn't understand, "What's the reason? ”

Guo Xiaobao said patiently: "The inheritance that Ling Zun gave you is all managed by him. ”

"Inheritance......" As soon as Zhuge Weidao heard this, his interest immediately came, and he smiled on horseback and said to Na He Tiantian, "Mu Ru, my injury is no longer in trouble, but I was shocked and forgot some things, and I will ask you for advice later." ”

"Don't dare to ask for advice, if the one hundred and eighth master doesn't understand, even if he asks, his subordinates should know everything." He Tianran paused, took two steps forward, and said in a low voice, "One hundred and eight masters, eighty-eight masters are here...... also carries the second master's warrant! ”

It's too much, right?

Guo Xiaobao still knew Zhuge Weidao's thoughts, and without waiting for him to ask, he answered first: "Brother Daozi, the eighty-eighth master of your family is your eldest brother, and the eighty-eighth in the clan, the second master is the current Zhuge Wu King, the official worships the right prime minister, and is also the head of the Zhuge family." ”

Big brother is here!

Zhuge Weidao smiled and asked, "Which one is my eldest brother?" ”

"I'll see...... Ah, that fat guy blowing his beard and glaring is your big brother. ”

"The fat man who blows his beard and stares at his eyes......" Zhuge Weidao heard this, and hurriedly looked for it from the crowd, and when he really found it, there was a fat man with a beard and staring eyes, surrounded by two or three men in civilian clothes, riding on a jujube red horse.

Zhuge didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly stepped forward, hugged his fist in front of his brother, and said with a smile: "Big brother, why are you here?" ”

"Isn't it because of the good things you did?" Zhuge Weixue is really anxious and angry when he sees this younger brother who is not stupid!

The original Zhuge is the Tao, and it is one of the most treacherous Zhuge among the "Eight Hundred Zhuge Trees...... The Zhuge family's recognized "military division seed" is impossible to do so many stupid things in Petersburg and Bagua City, and he doesn't know it.

What makes Zhuge even more important is that although this Zhuge is "stupid", he is not stupid. Although the British-Rakshasa marriage was promoted in Petersburg, the Archduchess Natalie was finally deceived back, and the Hongwu Emperor-class armored ships were also sold! In the Jin Empire, although he fell for the beauty tricks of others, he also pushed Emperor Daoguang to India..... If this can be done, at least it can test the reality of the British Empire.

"Me? What did I do? ”

When Zhuge Weidao said this, his heart was empty for a while—not for anything else, but for Natalie's business. If it was known that he had taken Natalie's hand, it would be a big problem.

The Ming court can't deal with Natalie, and can't deal with him Zhuge Weidao? Even if you don't kill your head, your career in this life will be over, and you will still do such a big thing in the future?

Looking at his brother's confused face, Zhuge Weixue had no choice but to sigh: "Where is the female archduchess?" Take Brother Fool to visit first. You'll talk about it when you get the Grand Duchess on the train. ”

"Put the Grand Duchess on the train?" Zhuge Weidao heard that this was not right, "I don't follow?" ”

Zhuge Weixue glared at his younger brother: "The female grand duke entered the palace to choose the queen, what are you doing with it?" The black eunuch sent by the Empress Dowager Zheng has arrived in Yining, and the special train is also ready...... Your mission is accomplished! ”
