Chapter 419: Plan Ahead
Seeing off all the guests, Ding Qi looked at Long Yan and nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Well, although the cultivation of fighting spirit is a little weaker, but appearance and conduct are the best choice, anyway, the Ding family doesn't need women to go to the battlefield, as long as I add a grandson, it will be a great achievement." ”
Long Yan, who was a first-time wife, still felt ashamed when she heard Ding Qi's words, and she didn't know how to answer.
"Dad, the Ding family is no longer in charge of the army now, you don't have to reward your merits. Ding Kui knew that his new daughter-in-law was thin-skinned and took the initiative to excuse her.
"Just because I'm not in charge of the army doesn't mean that you won't be in charge in the future, let your daughter-in-law go back first, and come to the study to find me later. Ding Qi stomped up with his hands behind his back and walked away.
"Leave me alone, my father-in-law has something to tell you, so you should go over early. Long Yan saw that her father-in-law and her husband had something to talk about, and she didn't want to get in the way.
"It's okay, those big guys are in such a hurry, this time the matter should not be small, I am about to join the army and will be on the battlefield in a short time, the family must prepare for this. When you're tired of the day, go back early and rest. Ding Kui is also considerate of this new daughter-in-law who satisfied her ** last night.
Long Yan obviously couldn't accept such a large amount of information, and turned back several times on the way back, Ding Kui's mind was messed up if she was going to the battlefield.
"Hey, I can't spend my honeymoon with you, and I can't help myself. Ding Kui knew Long Yan's thoughts, but it was difficult to tell her.
When they came to the study, Ding Qi and Quan Sihai were waiting for Ding Kui.
"I received news last night that Gu Jun was appointed as the commander of the 21st Legion, and in addition, experienced soldiers were selected from the Knights' Guild and the generals who were injured and recovered on the front line to serve as the division commander and some captains. The places east of Zhenwang Prefecture and Zhongwang Prefecture will be given priority to be assigned to the new legions, and the young master will definitely be assigned to the twenty-first legion this time. "Quan Sihai made a briefing first.
"Gu Jun was promoted by one of his father's old departments, and he has a little relationship with the Ding family, even if he doesn't miss his old feelings at all, he won't deliberately embarrass you. Ding Qi said to Ding Kui.
"When is the child going to join the 21st Legion?" Ding Kui didn't have a clear idea in his mind.
"Gu Jun has already arrived in Zhennan City, the conscription and recruitment order in his hand needs to be stamped with the Great Seal by the State Mu, and the Knight Guilds of each city need to be ordered by the Cavalry Branch, and it will take about seven to ten days to wait until the Black Earth City starts recruiting. "All over the world is very familiar with military affairs.
"Seven to ten days. Ding Kui pinched his chin.
"What's the matter? Don't you want to let the Long clan go? Or do you have other things to do?" Ding Qi was a little surprised by his son's reaction.
"Before, I begged for a treasure in Ao Yu's hand for Long Yan, and said that I would compensate Ao Yu with fire jade in the future, I want to go to Huolu Mountain to see if I can find fire jade. Ding Kui told Ding Qi the reason half-truthfully.
"With your strength, you are far from being able to go to the volcano to collect fire jade, you can only go to the vicinity of the crater, and the chance of finding fire jade is too slim. What's more, you go back and forth to Huolu Mountain for at least five or six days, and just leave the Long family alone at home?" Ding frowned, not very satisfied.
"Once I go to the army, I don't know when I will have the opportunity to fulfill my promise, and now I can only squeeze out time to run as much as possible, and whether I succeed or not, I can let Ao Yu see that I have done my best. Ding Kui used his own credibility issue as a cover.
This time the surrender is not trivial, the recruits do not even have time to train, and they must be pulled to the battlefield immediately after assembly, and the more strength there is, the more safety there is. He went to Huolu Mountain mainly to try to feel the emotions of the flames, as long as he made a breakthrough in magic, his strength would be significantly improved.
The Nannuma Prefecture War Zone can break out at any time with more than a million people, not to mention the strength of Ding Kui, the fifth-level magician who opens the tower, even if it is the strength of Long Yuan's second-level knight, he can't absolutely guarantee his own safety. If you want to return from the battlefield, you have to try your best to improve your strength.
It is difficult for Ding Kui to improve the strength of the knight in the short term, so he can only find a way in terms of magic, and when it comes to life and death, he can't care about continuing to hide his strength, and he will use whatever stunt he should use. However, I can't tell Ding Qiming about all this, so I have to prevaricate with some far-fetched reasons.
"Well, you decide for yourself, for the father only reminds you that now you are not alone, and there is still a woman in the family who depends on you. Ding Qi recalled Ding Dao's last words, and let Ding Kui decide for himself.
"Then go and talk to your daughter-in-law about it. ”
"Go ahead, and remember not to delay the time to join the army. Ding Qi raised his hand and motioned for Ding Kui to leave.
After Ding Kui left, Quan Sihai's face showed a worried face, and he said to Ding Qi: "Gu Jun's level is indeed good, but will it be too dangerous for the young master to go to the front with such an untrained miscellaneous army?"
"It's not the descendants of the Ding family who are afraid of danger, and this time he doesn't need to rush to the front, plus the coach Jiang Xi won't let a legion full of recruits go to death, Kui'er won't fall into a desperate situation. "Ding Qi is not as worried as Quansihai.
"With the strength of the young master, the twenty-first army is firmly a squadron leader, and the arrow of the whole army is also the arrow of the small force charge, for fear of being targeted by the enemy's fifth-level combat power and killed on the spot. "Quan Sihai himself has done this kind of thing, picking on the enemy's thorns and killing them in seconds.
"Well, that's a bit of a possibility. Can the squadron leader bring his own soldiers now?" Ding Qi came to Quanzhou to use his experience.
"No, the captain can only bring his own personal soldiers at the beginning, and the squadron leader has to form a small cavalry formation by himself, and there is no personal soldiering. Quan Sihai shook his head.
"No, hey, when did the Ding family's descendants go to the battlefield as a squadron leader, can't they make an exception? With that Ao Yu following Kui'er, Kui'er is not so easy to be killed by a fifth-level combat power. "Ding Qi didn't know that his son was a fifth-level fighter himself, and he was sure of winning by any fifth-level fighter.
"There is no exception to this military regulation, otherwise the establishment of the army will be chaotic, and the Commander's Office will not allow it. ”
"Hmph, those people in the Commander's Mansion don't need it themselves. Well, I remember that Kui'er still has three obstacle removal rights, so if you can't use one. "Ding Qi is the person who doesn't want Ding Kui to have an accident, and he has to stuff someone to Ding Kui's side if he says anything, and if Ao Yu refuses to go, he will take the risk of letting Shi Jiang go.
"Sir, wisely, the Commander's Mansion should not be able to object to such a special obstacle removal right, but I estimate that one obstacle removal right can only be matched with one personal soldier. ”
"One person is enough, we can't let everyone follow Kui'er, we just try to add some protection to him. In the end, whether he can return from the battlefield or not depends on the luck of his ancestors. "The old aristocrats all believe in luck, and Ding Qi is no exception.
Ding Kui returned to the room, and when he saw Long Yan wanting to speak and stopped, he took the initiative to take her hand and came to the table and sat down, "Xiao Yan, I joined the army because of ancestral training, and I decided to inform the Long family of this matter when we got married, didn't the people in your family tell you?"
Long Yan shook her head with round eyes, and said, "No, my father didn't tell me, and my brother didn't tell me." ”
"Well, don't hold them responsible, it's all the elders that we can't control, anyway, we won't change our family affairs because of this matter. This enlistment will soon go to the front line in Nannuma Prefecture, and to be honest, the risk is quite high, and I don't have much confidence in my heart, so I must prepare before I go out. As soon as Ding Kui heard it, he knew that the people of the Long family deliberately concealed Long Yan, and immediately took the topic away.
"What!" Long Yan became nervous, "Isn't the commander of the war zone your uncle? You will also be at high risk? What preparations should you make? I, can I help you?"
"Uncle Jiang Xi will not change the decision related to the fortunes of the country because of me alone. I am tied to the fate of the 21st Legion, I will prosper when the legion is prosperous, and I will decline when the legion is weak, and I must be ready to help the legion win the battle.
What you can help me with is to wait at home for me to come back, and you will take care of my father when he is there, and you will take care of my home when my father is gone. Ding Kui pressed the back of Long Yan's hand, trying to ease her nervousness.
"It's all because I didn't learn how to march and fight well before, and now I can't help at all. You don't have to worry at home, if you don't understand, I will learn from Ding Xiao, I will do my best to wait for my father-in-law, and I will personally lower the flag for you. Long Yan's eyes turned red.
"I believe in you!" Ding Kui put his arm around Long Yan's shoulder and said warmly, "I'll leave for Huolu Mountain early tomorrow morning, and you can find Jiang Shunchuan to learn about my private industry." If you don't understand something, you can ask Grandpa Kun, but you have to be respectful of him. ”
"Hmm!" Long Yan nodded vigorously, "Even you call Grandpa Kun, the housekeeper, how can I put up a fight, I will respect him like a grandfather." ”
"Well, that's right, I'm going to take care of you tonight. Ding Kui's eyes burned.
Hmph, Long Yan's face was flushed, and she fell into Ding Kui's arms.
The next day, Ding Kui only took Ao Yu with him, and the two left Xiaxi Town early in the morning.
"You know I hate that kind of place, why are you still pulling me to run over?" Ao Yu has been sleeping longer and longer lately, and he is getting more and more in bed in the morning.
"Can you feel the emotions of the water elemental?" Ding Kui asked suddenly.
Ao Yu was stunned for a moment, making sure that he had heard Ding Kui's question correctly, and then said: "Sometimes it's okay, after coming to the mainland, there is less, and I used to feel it in the sea." ”
"You can do it too, then I'll have more hope. ”
"Wait a minute, don't be too happy, I'm talking about my adulthood, you're far from that realm. Ao Yu poured a basin of cold water on Ding Kui's head.
"Ahh Ding Kui couldn't get used to Ao Yu's sassy look.
"No, that little bamboo of yours must have a special physique, otherwise it would be impossible to feel it. Ao Yu was taken aback.
"What is a special physique?" Ding Kui found another blind spot in his knowledge.
"I don't know this very clearly, I heard my grandfather mention it before, and even my uncle didn't understand it very well. ”
