Recently, Yuan Qi has been very nourishing, because the eleven recommended by Wen Wu have all taken office, and Yuan Qi has arranged them to work in their respective fields of expertise, and manage various affairs in the county. As for the major affairs of the www.biquge.info internal affairs, Xun Luo and Tian Mou made preliminary opinions, and then reported them to Yuan Qi, Yuan Qi basically did not ask much about them, and he accepted almost all the opinions put forward by Xun Luo and Tian Mou; on the military side, Zhang Chong, Zhao Hu and Zuo Ci were in charge, and Xiahou Ruo was summoned by Zhao Hu to serve under Yuan Qi, and Yuan Qi appointed him as a lieutenant, temporarily serving as Zhang Chong's deputy general, and training the 4,000 infantry army in the county. At the same time, Yuan Qi also taught Xiahou Ruo the eight sections of self-cultivation and body cultivation to Xiahou Ruo, and under the guidance of Zhang Chong and Zhao Hu, his entry into the realm was very fast, which directly led to a higher level of martial arts. Therefore, Yuan Qi's main task every day is to practice martial arts, and for Yuan Qi, practicing martial arts hard not only does not have any pressure, but is a kind of fun.

In his spare time, Yuan Qi will go to the barracks to inspect it, and now the actual combat exercises in the army no longer need Yuan Qi to participate in it personally, Zhang Chong, Zhao Hu, Zuo Ci and Xiahou Ruo are four people, often divided into groups of twos and twos, and then lead their respective soldiers to carry out actual combat drills, which not only improves the actual combat ability of the soldiers, but also makes the cooperation between the various arms more tacit. It is worth mentioning that the 6,000 Thorn Tower cavalry, from the free and casual at the beginning, to the active cooperation later, have been completely integrated into Yuan Qi's command.

On the other hand, the Taishi Chamber of Commerce also opened a relatively large branch in Beiping, specializing in doing business with ethnic minorities outside the Saiwai, using special products such as gold silk leaves and burning knives to exchange war horses, cattle and sheep and other items from the Thorn Tower people; exchanging medicinal materials and furs and other items from the Xianbei people, and then processing the exchanged things and selling them to the counties and counties of Jizhou near Youzhou at a high price.

In short, everything is developing steadily and efficiently in the direction that Yuanqi envisioned.

Just when Yuan Qi was living a leisurely and leisurely life of petty bourgeoisie, Master Fu Shaozi rushed over from Jijun and ended Yuan Qi's comfortable life.

Under strict supervision, Yuan Qi and Zhao Hu began an inhuman life again, and they had to undergo hellish training every day. Perhaps because of Zhang Long's departure, Fuyaozi felt that Yuan Qi and Zhao Hu alone were not enough to satisfy his sense of accomplishment in teaching, so Zhang Chong, Zuo Ci and Xiahou Ruo were also pulled over, and they had to destroy them for two hours every day before they stopped. Zhang Chong and the three of them also tasted the taste that Yuan Qi and Zhao Hu had tasted at the beginning, and it was a pain!

However, under the training of two hours a day, Zhang Chong and the three of them have made great progress, whether it is their understanding of martial arts or their own cultivation, they are improving little by little every day.

Three years later, Yuan Qi was nearly sixteen years old, and at this time Yuan Qi had grown to about eight feet, and his handsome face and temperament honed by being in a high position for a long time made Yuan Qi appear more mature.

In the past three years, the Thorn Tower and Xianbei took the prestige of Yuan Ying and Yuan Qi's father and son, and they did not dare to step into the territory of the Yuan Empire without authorization, but the Xin barbarians launched several small-scale invasions, all of which were easily killed by Yuan Qi, and the heaviest loss was Yuan Qi at the foot of the White Wolf Mountain, leading the elite of the Tiangui Camp and the Digui Camp, and killing more than 10,000 Xin barbarians in a battle, and since then, the Xin barbarians have never dared to invade again.

In several battles with Xin Man, the Tiangui Battalion and the Digui Battalion under Yuan Qi became more elite, and successively completed the expansion of the army, selecting two hundred elites from the Thorn Tower Cavalry and the Four Thousand County Soldiers, and supplementing them to the Tiangui Battalion and the Digui Battalion, so that the two elites reached 1,000. In addition, Yuan Qi also recruited troops in the county, in addition to the two elites of Tiangui and Digui, the cavalry under his command reached 8,000 people, and the infantry army reached 10,000 people, so that the total number of troops under Yuan Qi's command reached 20,000.

On this day, Yuan Qi was watching Zhang Chong's battle drill in the military academy field, and a sergeant hurriedly walked into the military academy field, and after seeing Yuan Qi, he walked over quickly, kneeling on the ground and reported: "General Yu, the state pastor asks the general to take time to go back to Jixian County in the near future." ”

Yuan Qi turned his head to look at it, recognized this sergeant as his father's guard mustache, and said with a smile: "Mustache, how are you doing lately?"

For Yuan Qi to care about his subordinates, even if the other party is just an ordinary soldier, Yuan Qi often shush the cold and ask for warmth, and the mustache has long been experienced, so he said with a smile: "Thank you for the general's concern, everything is fine with the villain." ”

Nodding, Yuan Qi continued to ask: "Father summoned me back to Jijun, why did I do it?" The smile on the mustache's face became even brighter: "Zhou Mu and his wife often say today that it is almost the general's birthday, so they are going to hold a wedding ceremony around the general's birthday, and specially ordered the villain to call the general back to discuss and discuss." ”

As soon as he heard the four words of the wedding ceremony, Yuan Qi's handsome face rose red, and he naturally remembered the beautiful jade face of the brocade clothes in his mind, and a strong feeling of longing rose from his heart.

Smiling, Yuan Qi said to the mustache: "I know, tomorrow I will go back to visit my father and mother, and you go to the account office in the house to pay two hundred yuan." ”

Raising his head and looking at the sky, Yuan Qi muttered to himself: "Yi'er, are you okay? I'm going to marry you." ”

The next day, Yuan Qi rode a jade unicorn, returned to the camp elite with more than a dozen days, and set off to Jijun early in the morning. By the evening, a group of more than ten people had already arrived at Jijun, and thanks to the elite horses equipped by the Tiangui Camp, they were all good horses for the Thorn Tower's tribute, otherwise it would be difficult to catch up with the Jade Qilin. Even so, in order to take care of the footsteps of his subordinates, Yuan Qi deliberately slowed down the speed of the Jade Qilin, otherwise, he would have rushed to Jijun a long time ago.

Before coming to the governor's mansion, Yuan Qi turned over and dismounted, and the sergeant guarding at the gate saw Yuan Qi, hurriedly trotted over, helped Yuan Qi hold the reins, and said, "The general is back." "Because of Yuan Qi's repeated victories over Xin Man and Thorn Tower, now even if it is a recruit who has just enlisted in the army, no, even if he picks out a civilian in Youzhou, he knows Yuan Qi's prestige. The officers and men in the army are even more worshipful of Yuan Qi as a god. And Yuan Qi never puts on a show, no matter who he treats, he is kind and pleasant, giving people a feeling of approachability.

Smiling and patting one of the guards on the shoulder, Yuan Qi asked, "Is my father in the mansion?" The sergeant nodded and replied, "The state pastor has just returned to the barracks, and he should still be in the main hall at this moment." ”

Yuan Qi nodded, and then walked towards Fuzhong.

When he came to the hall, he saw Yuan Ying sitting on a chair and reading the first batch of documents, Yuan Qi walked gently towards Yuan Ying, and then stood five steps in front of Yuan Ying, quietly waiting for his father to approve the documents.

After a while, Yuan Ying finished approving the paperwork in his hand, and then he raised his head, and saw Yuan Qi standing quietly in front of him waiting for him, and couldn't help but smile: "Qi'er, when did you come back?"

Yuan Qi also replied with a smile: "The child just came back, and when he saw his father reviewing the documents again, he didn't dare to disturb his father." ”

Yuan Ying stood up and walked to Yuan Qi's side, and slapped Yuan Qi's shoulder hard: "Good boy, I haven't seen you for a few months, and it's much stronger, it seems to be taller than three or four months ago." After a pause, Yuan Ying asked again: "Haven't you had time to see your mother yet?" It just so happens that your grandfather is here today, let's go to the backyard." ”

Yuan Qi nodded lightly, he found that with his own growth, his father gradually became older, just now he inadvertently saw that his father's sideburns have appeared a few gray hairs, he has been in this world for almost sixteen years, his father is usually diligent in government affairs, hard work, so that Yuan Qi has a trace of sadness.

Yuan Ying didn't know what Yuan Qi was thinking, grabbed Yuan Qi's arm, and pulled him to the backyard. Yuan Qi followed behind Yuan Ying, looking at his father's back, in a trance, it seemed that time had gone back to his childhood, and he was pulled by his father in this way, playing behind his father. As long as he is under his father's back, Yuan Qi will feel that his heart is very steady, and today, this feeling has not disappeared with the passage of time, but has become more and more intense.

The father and son came to the master bedroom in the backyard and saw that Uncle Yi was talking to his daughter, the corners of Yi Yue's eyebrows raised from time to time, and the atmosphere was relaxed and happy.

Yuan Ying let go of Yuan Qi and said with a smile: "Father-in-law, madam, who do you see coming back?"

Uncle Yi and Yi Yue turned their heads at the same time, and when they saw Yuan Qi following behind Yuan Ying, the father and daughter both showed happy expressions on their faces. Because of his age, Mr. Yi is quite calm, but he just laughs non-stop. Yi Yue didn't care so much, got up and walked in front of Yuan Qi, took Yuan Qi's hand with her left hand, and gently stroked Yuan Qi's face with her right hand, with a happy look on her face, but her tone choked up: "Qi'er, you can be regarded as coming back, you haven't been back for three months and seventeen days, but you want to die as a mother."

Yuan Qi felt his mother's love, and he wanted to tell his mother a thousand words in his heart, but when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't say anything. Uncle Yi smiled on the side: "Hehe, Yue'er, look at you, Yuan Qi should be happy when he comes back, why is he sad when he meets.."

Yi Yue let go of Yuan Qi's hand, glared at Yuan Ying with disgust and said: "It's not that this father is ruthless, he let Yuan Qi go to the battlefield with him at the age of eight, and he has guarded Beiping all these years, so that our mother and son get together less and leave more, Qi'er is not yet sixteen years old, how can I not be concerned about being a mother?"

Yuan Ying shrugged his shoulders innocently, and turned his head to ask for help from Uncle Yi: "Father-in-law, look at what I have become in the eyes of your precious daughter, am I so ruthless?"

Ignoring Yuan Ying's "sad and indignant" face, Mr. Yi snorted and said, "Hmph, I see what Yue'er said is, how can anyone let his son be a pioneer every time there is a big war! What if there are three long and two short?" What Yuan Ying was most afraid of in his life was his father-in-law, and when he heard that Uncle Yi said the same, he didn't dare to speak anymore with a bitter face.

Yuan Qi really couldn't stand it, and quickly changed the topic: "Grandfather, father, mother, I don't know what happened when Yuan Qi came back this time?"
