What Hu Qin had been fearing happened, Ding Kui drove to the base camp of the 14th Army Corps, and also brought a big archer.

Ding Kui's purpose was very clear, giving the 14th Army three choices, either to be loyal to Nanjing City, or to leave Yangyuan Prefecture, or to start fighting. He does not allow an army of unknown attitude to be under his jurisdiction,

"They are all soldiers, and there is not much to say, you can refer to the situation of the Twentieth Legion, you have similarities. "He was not prepared to impress Hu Qin with words, nor did he use force to coerce, and he brought Shi Shi to serve as a deterrent in the future.

The well-known Ding Yu, Ding Kun and Xie Peng are the three sixth-level combat forces under Ding Kui, the big archer Qian Feng appeared in the defense of Hengfu City, his identity is mysterious but not strange, and Tan Shang who is sitting in the Eighth Legion, Ao Yan who does not know where to go, plus Ding Kui himself, there are seven master-level masters on the surface.

What's more, Ding Kui still has potential helpers, the Jiang family and the Long family, and it is not difficult to get together a few more sixth-level combat power.

Although such a top-level strategic force is not as good as Zhenjing City and Xingbang City, it is enough to suppress any big family, which is also one of the reasons why the Gongsun family is unwilling to carry Ding Kui to the end.

The Twentieth Legion originally did not belong to the Ding family faction, Yi Sheng and Ding Kui's relationship was not close, since he defected to Ding Kui, life was very nourishing, and it was rumored that he had set the title of a viscount, and it would not take long to become a nobleman.

Hu Qin also wants to be a nobleman, don't look at the majesty when he commanded the army, and after he retired, no one cared about it, so many commanders in the army took refuge in the great family just to think of a certain title, and now the opportunity is in front of him.

"In the future, Zhenjing will raise a large army to attack, how to deal with it?" he still had some concerns.

"There is an army in Zhongwangzhou, there is a twenty-first army corps, you know very well which ones in Nannuma Prefecture, how many will be destroyed, and I am not afraid of Shaodian Yong's jokes. Ding Kui gave a clear answer.

"Okay, I, my subordinates will do it with you!" Hu Qin changed his words in time.

The incorporation of the 14th Army Corps is expected, if Hu Qin has a strong hostile intention, he should divide a part of the troops and horses to cooperate with the 10th Army Corps to attack Nannuma Prefecture, and there will be no movement, Ding Kui is confident that he is still good to the soldiers, and he can recruit more neutral troops.

Hu Qin was not worried about the rebellion of his subordinates, the duty of the 14th Army Corps was to defend Yangyuan Prefecture, and the defection to Nanjing City did not change its duties, as long as Ding Kui did not owe military salaries and food salaries, there would be no problems.

Shuanglong City Wangjiang Tower, where the city lord receives Ding Kui, who has come not long ago.

"That's where the Cao State spies met and gave the order to assassinate you. ”

"No wonder Uncle didn't take Kui to the best private room. Ding Kui looked at the room curiously, "It's been fifteen years, that time I was blessed by misfortune and incorporated the floating cow village, Ding Cai has also followed me for fifteen years, and I will take him to see it next time." ”

"At the beginning, I didn't understand why Cao Guo was so enthusiastic and ordered the assassination of a doll less than ten years old. Long Yuan looked at Ding Kui, "Now I understand that the person who issued this order is very smart, and it may be the only possible way to succeed if he wants to strangle you before you grow up." ”

Shi Jiang twisted his buttocks, and he was a little uncomfortable listening to this.

"Hehe, now the person who issued the order is seriously ill and has left the Cao State Supervision Department and returned to his hometown. It's a pity that I couldn't get justice in person, and my heart was also panicked. Ding Kui didn't care about the ridicule of the elders.

"By the way, sporadic clashes have broken out between the Yangyuanzhou Navy and the Xijiang Navy recently, maybe there will be a big battle in the future, can you support some clippers carrying ballistas?"

Now that the Yangyuanzhou Navy is under the management of Xinzhou Mu, the scale of the conflict between the two armies is too small, Shaodian is unwilling to alarm Nanjing City, and privately asked Long Yuan's opinion, can the Yangyuanzhou Navy solve the Xijiang Navy?

The Yangyuanzhou Navy had the heavy task of resisting foreign sailors, and it was inconvenient to spend effort to fight a civil war, so Long Yuan thought that the fastships equipped with ballistae in Juyang City could hit enemy ships at an ultra-long distance, and then quickly leave the battlefield, which was the most suitable for dealing with the patrol ships of the Xijiang River.

"Of course you can, now that the status of the navy of the two states is the same, what you have in Nanmarsh Prefecture should also be here, and I will summon Nanqiu County to send a batch of ballista clippers over from Chunluwan Water Village. Ding Kui readily agreed.

"Actually, I learned from you to build a shipyard, and you can send craftsmen to Shuanglong City to build new ships. ”

"It's not that Kui is worried about you, the ballista clipper involves the high-level secrets of the Ding family, and the craftsmen concerned can't leave the realm of Juyang City, so it's hard to obey your fate. This Ding Kui immediately refused, who doesn't know the imitation ability of the Long family, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, and the core technology is still in your own hands to be safe.

"Hahaha, even I refuse, it's okay, don't worry about your technology going abroad. "Long Yuan is not annoyed, Shuanglong City does not have to have this technology.

"The International Jinhui Commercial Bank has opened with you, and the defense of Shuanglong City should be strengthened, and I will ask the Protector Army to send a batch of new ordnance over to make this the safest dock city in Yangyuan Prefecture. ”

Ding Kui attaches great importance to the foreign trade potential of Shuanglong City, which has an excellent deep-water port, not far from Qi, Cao and Meng, and can be developed into a foreign trade port, and the economic potential is still above Juyang City.

"In this case, you and I can deepen cooperation, shipbuilding involves high-level secrets, what about those civilian goods? We can cooperate with factories, you provide technology, I will pay people and places, and the goods produced in Ssangyong City can be sold to farther places. ”

Long Yuan had long wanted to cooperate with Ding Kui, and he used to worry about Zhenjing City, and if he didn't get it, he would be sanctioned by the authorities, but now he doesn't have this concern, and he can do it freely.

"Yes, I have a lot of products in short supply, such as cement, alcohol, etc., these products are suitable for nearby production, and we can talk about cooperation. ”

Ding Kui received Long Yuan's full support in the process of absorbing Yangyuanzhou and the 14th Army Corps, and he had long wanted to repay this uncle, supporting Shuanglong City to develop the economy was something he could and profitable, and there was no reason to refuse.

Others can't be blushing yet, Long Yuan's help to Ding Kui can't be replicated, and others can't learn if they want to.

Ding Kui stayed in Shuanglong City for two days before leaving, and news came from Nanjing City that Lu Ji and the disciples of the Invisible Sword Sect had arrived.

"Teacher, why don't you send a message in advance?" Ding Kui hadn't seen Lu Ji for several years, and he rarely contacted Lu Ji during this period, in order to avoid paying attention to Lu Ji in Zhenjing City.

"I took your junior disciples all the way from Zhenjing City, by the way to appreciate the great rivers and mountains of the kingdom, and occasionally visited the local swordsmanship, knowing that you have a lot of things to do, I didn't bother you. ”

"What about the juniors and disciples?" Ding Kui only saw Lu Ji alone.

"I sent them to the boot camp in Tunchang County, and they have to serve the country after learning things, and they can't always stay with us. "Lu Ji rarely keeps the disciples of his master around.

"Ah, when are you leaving? If you don't leave me a few soldiers, I'll find someone to call them back." "Ding Kui has long been looking forward to a few more juniors to help him, Lu Ji's production is not bad, and it has been tested on the battlefield in Zhongwangzhou.

"Didn't I say you, what is your identity now? You still let your junior brother be a personal soldier, can I be a soldier for you?"

"No, no, no, where can the disciple stand it!" Ding Kui didn't have the guts.

"I can only teach some superficial military knowledge, your juniors and disciples are most suitable to start at the grassroots level in the army, slowly accumulate actual combat experience, and those who have the ability can naturally be appreciated by the superiors, and those who have no ability will retire and go home early." ”

"Then you don't have to start with boot camp, they can go to the regular army now, and I write them a letter of recommendation. Ding Kui felt that the juniors had enough training.

"I just don't want them to enlist in the army by relying on your connections! How many battles have you experienced from Juyang City to here? How much blood and sweat have you paid to follow your subordinates all the way? Why do a group of people come up with a higher starting point than theirs? I, Luki, can't teach such students. ”

"Hey, the imperial court is in a hurry to hire people, and the disciples do not hesitate to use high-ranking officials to poach people, of course their own senior brothers have to help more. Ding Kui didn't dare to say that Lu Ji's was not.

The vacancies of the Eighth Army are far from being filled, the Protector Army and the Twelfth Army Corps have drained the new barracks, the Twentieth and Twenty-first Army Corps are still waiting for dignitaries, and there are many vacancies in the Nanjing City Commander's Mansion.

"If you're doing your job in boot camp, they'll be able to get ahead quickly, and you can keep an eye out for promotions if there's a good fit. Rukey's position softened.

"Eh, that makes sense, if they're buried, there's something wrong with the training camp, I can find out early, so let them go. ”

Before Ding Kui's words fell, Lu Ying ran into the living room, "Daddy!" she threw herself into Lu Ji's arms excitedly.

Since the beginning of the year, Lu Ying has been staying in Giant Sheep City, and was stuffed by Ding Kui into the Knight Guild, replacing Zeng Jian's position as president, responsible for training the knight seedlings of Giant Sheep City and Hengfu City. Because she is most familiar with plum blossom piles and barbells, as well as Lu Ji's set of basic training, she is more suitable than Zeng Jian to be the president.

After receiving Ding Kui's summons, she immediately rushed to Hengfu City, asked Ruan Xingzhu to borrow a third-level magic core and teleported it to Nanjing City, and rushed to the State Pastoral Mansion after leaving the Southern Demon Branch.

"Pay attention to etiquette in front of the Grand Duke!" Lu Ji stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat from his daughter's head, "I haven't grown much with your senior brother for so long." ”

Ding Kui's face immediately collapsed, and he said, "She will soon be able to break through the bottleneck of the fearless knight, teacher, you can't turn around and scold the disciple." ”

Lu Ying turned his head and grimaced at Ding Kui, and said, "Meet Senior Brother Grand Duke." ”

"You can't get used to her, otherwise who would dare to marry her? Who can be worthy of her in front of the Grand Duke and the Prison State? Do you want a prince or a duke to marry her?" Lu Ji was not worried about his daughter's vindictive cultivation, but worried about her family affairs.

"Why not? It's fitting for my little apple to marry the prince. ”

"Okay!" Lu Ji interrupted Ding Kui, "Which prince to marry? You can't delay your junior sister's lifelong event, you must be strict with her." ”

Lu Ying stuck out his tongue and dodged behind Ding Kui.

"Okay, well, the disciple assures you that the lifelong affairs of the junior sister are wrapped up in the disciple, no, on the prison country, you are always satisfied, right?"
