"At that time, Daqian had only experienced more than ten years of peace. His Majesty and the ministers in the DPRK did not want to go to war with the Hu people, so they sent envoys to make peace. Finally, they made an oath that all Daqian troops would withdraw from the Shule Mountain area and would not leave the area. Border town. Only then did the beggar retreat his troops."
Speaking of this, Lin Mo couldn't help but sigh: "Shule Mountain was originally an ownerless land. The north of the mountain is the grassland, and the south of the mountain is Daqian. The terrain of this mountain is dangerous, and after passing this mountain, there is a flat plain. Therefore, the old general has been There were heavy troops stationed in Shule Mountain to repel the barbarians. However, after this incident, the heavy troops had to be withdrawn, and thus the natural barrier of Shule Mountain was lost."
"From then on, the Hu people were able to cross the Shule Mountains without any hindrance to attack me. Since that incident, the Hu people have continued to cause trouble at the border, and the troubles have become more and more fierce in recent years. It's just that the court is afraid of starting another war. , gave an order to only defend the city and not to attack. We were also afraid that the border gates would not obey the holy orders, so we sent eunuchs from the palace to serve as supervisors."
Su Shi was silent for a long time and suddenly said: "Everything started because of the Black Dragon Valley incident. This matter is so strange. My father should investigate it thoroughly."
Lin Mo shook his head: "The three scouts who sent back the news at that time all died in the Black Dragon Valley, so there is no way to investigate further, so this matter has become a headless case."
Su Shi walked a few steps unconsciously, then stopped and asked, "Is Qi Yuanlu probably over fifty years old now?"
Lin Mo smiled and said: "Begging for Yuanlu is not even forty yet."
Su Shi was shocked: "He has ruled the grassland for twenty years, and he is still less than forty?"
Lin Mo replied: "Qi Yuanlu ruled the grassland when he was eighteen years old, so he is only thirty-eight years old now."
Su Shi was so shocked that he couldn't speak, because he knew that the people on the grassland were all fierce people, and Qi Yuanlu was able to dominate the grassland before he could reach the weak crown. His ability was simply unparalleled.
Shocked, Su Shi couldn't help but ask: "How long did it take him to unify the grassland?"
"Two years. Although Qi Yuanlu's tribe is the most powerful on the grassland, it is not easy to unify the grassland. However, it only took Qi Yuanlu two years to make all the tribes on the grassland surrender to him. This is definitely not something that can be achieved by force. . That’s why the old general attaches so much importance to this person.”
Although it was already late at night, it was already summer, so it didn't feel cool. However, Su Shi felt a chill in his heart.
He ruled the grassland in only two years, and under his rule, there were no disputes in the grassland for twenty years. This Qi Yuanlu was undoubtedly a very scary person. What is even more frightening is that after Qi Yuanlu unified the grassland, he remained dormant for twenty years. Not only was his character unrivaled, but his ambition was also by no means small.
Then he thought of a more troublesome question, why did Qi Yuanlu propose a marriage at this time? And if the marriage fails, will he really raise his troops and invade the border? If Qi Yuanlu really raises his troops and invades the border, can his father and eldest brother defend it?
Thinking of this, Su Shi had to worry about his father and eldest brother, because he didn't have answers to all the questions.
Su Shi couldn't help but look up at the sky. The moon was sparse and the weather was going to be good tomorrow. However, there was always a feeling in his heart that a storm was coming.
"Let's go back home."
Since thinking for a long time had no results, Su Shi had no choice but to give up. He yawned a few times and slowly walked into the general's mansion.
Back in his bedroom, Su Shi lay on the bed, and then sadly found that he had insomnia again.
But Su Shi was not the only one suffering from insomnia tonight.
Zhou Jin was lying on her side on the bed, with one hand on her head and the other on her chest, and she could clearly feel her heartbeat.
When she thought of the scene when Su Shi held her in his arms, her face turned crimson and her heart beat violently.
But when she thought of her identity and the relationship between Su Shi and Qin Nan, her eyes were filled with pain and sadness.
It was already late at night, and Zhou Jin's hands were tightly covering her red face, as if Su Shi's scent still lingered on these flawless hands.
Zhou Jin didn't think about the Hu man's marriage proposal, let alone worry at all, because he didn't know where to start, and Zhou Jin already had unreserved trust in Su Shi.
Even though Su Shi didn't tell her his plan or promise anything, she still had full confidence in Su Shi.
Qin Nan hasn't fallen asleep yet, and is still reading Bai Jiangchuan's information under the light.
There wasn't much information sent, but she read it slowly and carefully, so an hour passed and she only read half of the information.
Wan'er's eyelids were already fighting. She supported her head with one hand and continued to doze off.
However, Qin Nan was still energetic and not sleepy at all.
When she raised her eyes and unconsciously saw Wan'er kowtowing, she couldn't help but said: "You don't need to stay with me here, go and rest first."
Wan'er's mouth was raised so high that she could hang a bottle of oil: "Miss, you should go to bed early. Mr. Su didn't say that he must finish reading today."
She seemed to be very dissatisfied with Su Shi, and then said: "Young Master Su only made the young lady angry yesterday. I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup Mr. Su poured into the young lady. The young lady couldn't help but forgive him and work for him regardless of her body."
When Wan'er mentioned Su, Qin Nan felt shy and seemed to be in a trance.
But she quickly woke up, glanced at Wan'er, and said calmly: "What happened yesterday was just a misunderstanding. Don't think about mentioning it in the future. Everything Mr. Su is doing now is a big thing, and it is normal for things to happen unexpectedly. In the future, Don’t orchestrate him behind his back.”
Wan'er knew that the young lady was kind to others and rarely scolded others, but she was very opinionated. Although her tone was very calm at this time, there was a hint of reproach in her words.
So Wan'er immediately replied: "Wan'er knows that he was wrong and won't say it again in the future."
Qin Nan nodded, looked at the pile of information again, and said, "Go and rest first."
Seeing the young lady's resolute attitude, Wan'er had no choice but to salute Qin Nan and said, "Then I will leave."
Chen Xiaolan sat in the courtyard, looking up at the bright moon in the sky.
She has been very busy this month. She has to go out early in the morning and come back very late every day. During this month, she worked hard, learned quickly, and learned a lot. Her talent surprised even Su Shi.
But when she found that she was gradually able to stand alone, that familiar figure seemed to rarely appear around her.
But it wasn't the result she wanted. She preferred to stay by his side and look at his high spirits.
But she also knew that it was a luxury, but in the dead of night, her sadness had nowhere to rest, and there was only the bright moon by her side.
So every late night, she would always stay in the yard and look at the bright moon, which seemed as lonely as herself.
