The cold wind echoed outside the camp, which could not extinguish the enthusiasm of the Beihu soldiers.
Thousands of Beihu soldiers looked at the one-armed figure on the high platform to the north with fanatical expressions on their faces.
Marshal Beihu, Hu Yanche!
It was he who led the Northern Hu soldiers to move southward, bringing disaster to the Zhou Dynasty and causing them to burn, kill and loot as much as they wanted.
Hu Yanche's cold eyes swept across the soldiers, and finally moved to the dusty sky in the south.
"Warriors of Beihu! Do you still want to go to Dazhou to rob money and women like you did seventeen years ago?"
The response from below shook the earth and stirred up the yellow sand.
"think!!"
Hu Yanche then looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, glanced at his empty left sleeve, and gave a stern order.
"Be ready for war at any time! The next time Beihu advances southward, the Great Zhou Dynasty will cease to exist!"
Back at the military tent, Hu Yanche frowned and looked at the secret message sent by the soldiers.
"Marshal, the Tuoba clan has been secretly diverting grain from Yanzhou, saying that they want to prevent famine in Yanzhou. The northern border has been strictly guarding, and supplies can no longer be transported. Tianri Kingdom can only meet the daily needs of Mobei. , it is even more unrealistic to transport supplies from Mobei here!" The white-haired and white-browed Beihu military advisor looked worried.
Hu Yanche said angrily: "Then take a detour and transport it from Liaodong to Monan, and let Tuobating figure out a solution! Regardless of the lack of supplies or not, our army must at least ensure the supply of the Northern Jackald Cavalry! If we cannot maintain a force Why are the elite cavalry so invincible!"
A large number of Beihu scouts quickly left the military camp and rushed to Liaodong, Guanlong, Youzhou...
It was already noon, and Duan Yunxiu was in the palace, explaining "numbers" and "mathematics" to Duan Yunyi.
"Sister, I think this algorithm is quite convenient!"
"You see, compared with the calculations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division we usually use, we don't always need to use an abacus. Brother Xiao said that I am very smart. After learning, I can actually calculate in my mind the addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of tens of thousands~ I believe that my sister must She is smarter than me and can calculate more! After all, my sister used to be very good at arithmetic~"
The more Duan Yunxiu talked, the more excited and proud he became.
"mental arithmetic?"
Duan Yunyi didn't believe it, so he casually mentioned a few numbers and asked Duan Yun to calculate in his head.
Duan Yunxiu wrote everything down on the paper without hesitation.
Duan Yunyi personally took the abacus and did some quick calculations. His pretty face was full of surprise.
The results given by Duan Yunxiu are completely correct.
"How about you teach me sister sometimes?" Duan Yunyi said with an open-minded look on his face.
Duan Yunxiu happily agreed and said: "In fact, it is not difficult. It is similar to the arithmetic we usually learn, but the form is different! Brother Xiao said that he will promote this arithmetic according to the situation..."
Duan Yunyi nodded solemnly and said: "Sister promised you that as long as his actions are beneficial to the people of Zhou Dynasty, I will fully support him..."
Looking at his sister with a beautiful smile, Duan Yunyi was relieved and a little envious.
She didn't understand why Duan Yunxiu would rather wrong herself than rush to marry Liang Xiao.
Fortunately, Liang Xiao lived up to his deep affection for this girl. He became more and more fond of her and became more and more attracted to her. He was a complete doting maniac on his wife.
Liang Xiao was sitting at home, holding a financial report in his hand, feeling particularly happy.
Canghai Yueming is shipping products one after another and supplying various reservations.
Newspapers are being customized, sugar and books are also being shipped one after another, as well as low-end wines from wine shops with small profits but quick turnover.
At present, his own net worth exceeds one million taels of silver!
However, it was not the financial report that made him so happy. The financial report was what he expected.
What really made him happy was that he discovered that Duan Yunxiu was indeed a rare genius. His mental arithmetic ability was not inferior to his own, but he just lacked correct guidance before.
It is a pity that Duan Yunxiu is not suitable to preside over the Lanling Marquis Mansion for him from the rear at present. After all, he is not the official Prince Consort of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
This is his first woman and she deserves to have everything with him.
Now, he is more worried about Duan Yunxiu's health.
As elders, Old Man Zao and Zhuge Hui are the most worried about the royal family and the Lanling Marquis Mansion being unable to succeed.
Of course the sisters were very worried.
In ancient times, it was very common to die young, and he himself could not guarantee whether he would be in trouble tomorrow.
Under such conditions and premise, it was even more impossible for him to change the ancient people's idea of carrying on the family line. Naturally, he could understand Duan Yunxiu's difficulties and see her true intention of delaying the marriage.
He just felt guilty that he couldn't give her a wedding first.
This girl has been living for her sister...
However, now he can feel that Duan Yunxiu is happier than before every day. As soon as she sees him, she can't help but smile happily and shyly, and is obedient to him.
All he can do is live up to Duan Yunxiu.
Gu Pingxiu quickly sent a secret report from Xuanwei.
"According to the wishes of the Marquis, we have let Bai He be captured without disturbing other families. Now Bai He still looks good on the surface, but in fact everyone around him has been replaced by Xuanwei, even the maid It’s also disguised by the female Xuanwei!”
Liang Xiao asked anxiously: "Does the Tuoba family know? Are the imperial doctor's pills ready?"
"Tuoba doesn't know yet! Get ready! Those pills, ever since the Marquis proposed this strategy a few months ago, the Lord has been arranging for the imperial doctors to adjust them, and they will work every time!" Gu Pingxiu said.
The imperial physician he mentioned was Huang Ying, the niece of Zhuge Hui's wife Huang. She had superb medical skills. In gratitude for the royal family's kindness to the Huang family, she went to the palace to take care of the empress's sisters.
Liang Xiao smiled and said, "Let's go see Bai He tonight."
In the dead of night, Bai He was at home, having trouble sleeping and eating.
The maids and losers in the past were all dismissed by him for various reasons.
Of course, he was forced.
The two maids who were guarding him now were quite pretty, and the several servants also looked suspicious.
These are actually people he can't afford to offend...
They are all the rumored Xuanwei.
The so-called Xuanwei is the emperor's die-hard organization and has the power to arrest ministers.
The commander-level Xuanwei, armed with the sword given by the emperor, could even kill court officials whose official rank was less than third rank before arresting them if they resisted arrest.
He was suddenly targeted by Xuanwei.
The reason was that Xuanwei discovered that the real big tree behind him was actually the Tuoba clan.
On the surface, he inherited the family business and had a close relationship with the Duanmu family.
His father's accidental death at the hands of the Northern Hu people in the north was actually arranged by him and the Tuoba clan at the expense of his loyalty to the Tuoba clan.
He showed unprecedented loyalty to the Tuoba family. As long as he could make a lot of money, he didn't mind being a good dog.
After that, with the secret support of the Tuoba family, he started a private salt and iron business, specializing in selling to Beihu, who was short of salt and iron.
Originally, he knew very well that with the influence of the Tuoba family as a big family, even if he was found out by the Ministry of Punishment, the Tuoba family would be able to protect him from worries, and the empress would at best turn a blind eye.
This is the power of a big family.
As a result, before his salt and iron business started to make a profit, Xuanwei came to visit him.
Coincidentally, the Tuoba family was caught by the empress because Tuobajie colluded with the Tianri Sect...
At this time, Bai He could only seek happiness for himself.
Xuanwei told him that the person who wanted to see him later could save his life!
The door opened, and what came into Bai He's eyes was that familiar smiling face.
"Wocao, why is it you??"
