"Grandpa Du, Uncle Duandao is a general after all. It's outrageous for you to let him fart in public. What a loss of dignity!"
Back at the tent in the evening, the young and old gathered together to express their feelings to each other. Su Wu first expressed his grievances for Uncle Broken Knife, with a big smile.
The old man crossed his legs and lay on the most comfortable carpet in the tent. "Isn't it outrageous that he asked grandpa to play with poison and light the fire to cook? Even if he let me go to report with the military doctor, it would be fine! You have to let me take the lead!" snort!"
Tianbao sighed and hit the nail on the head, "What Uncle Broken Blade is afraid of is that you go to the military doctor. Even if you see any good medicinal materials, military regulations can't control you, Grandpa Du."
The boys laughed.
The old man looked at the sky.
He really doesn't see good medicinal materials, and the bad habits he has cultivated for decades cannot be corrected by simply changing them.
Such talent! Shouldn't we avenge our private grievances publicly?
Besides, the gadgets he got for Broken Blade made him a little embarrassed, but the effects of the medicine were actually good for the body.
A man who is marching to fight has a secret disease and doesn't know it. Now that he is here, he naturally has to nurse the broken knife.
This is different from a serious illness. It takes a long time to recover. If the dog hadn't suddenly gone to Changjing and never returned, he would have cured him long ago.
Broken Blade came late every time, and there was still laughter when he entered the camp.
He opened the door curtain and walked in, naturally sitting down next to the old man, with a slight smile on his face, "There is news from Shu Road."
One sentence immediately attracted the attention of the young and old.
The old man shouted anxiously, "What's the news? Wen Renjing is ready to call?"
"It's not that fast. If he wants to send an army over, he has to mobilize his troops first, and he has to have a good reputation. That's another matter." The smile on Duandao's face grew bigger, and some couldn't help but laugh, "There are people from several countries. It took three months and a lot of manpower to dig and search in the roads of Shu, but in the end we found nothing, not even a single magic weapon was found."
Young man, "..." That's it?
What's so surprising about this?
The "magic weapons" are all well hidden in Tianbao, so it would be strange for those people to find them.
"This is one, and the other is that Darong did not get any benefits from his trip to Shu. Instead, he became the target of public criticism and was pushed to the fire.
Mo Liren is indeed a talent. He should have known early on that the Shu Road could not dig out the magic weapons, so when he was criticized by various countries because of his failure to defend the territory, he pretended to be generous and gave up the Mingyue Gorge territory and announced his withdrawal from the battle for the magic weapons. All the countries got a huge profit for nothing, and they were pleased with him, and it was not easy to worry about other things. Darong was dragged into the water by him in this matter, but he was reluctant to give up the magic weapon. In the end, it could be said that he lost both his wife and his army. "
Bai Yu understood, "But in this way, Darong and Yun Qin are at odds with each other. Although Yun Qin has Xiling to rely on, Darong also has Beixiang to support him... If there is a quarrel in the future, the outcome will be unpredictable. .”
However, Mo Liren can stir up troubled waters on his own and can escape safely in troubled waters. He is indeed a capable person.
Bai Yu's eyes darkened. The look Mo Liren cast on him when he was walking through Mingyue Gorge seemed to have some deep meaning, which he still can't understand.
He didn't like this feeling very much.
Duandao's words continued, "The four major countries in the Central Plains are complicated. As long as it is not to the necessary extent, the major countries will not easily turn against each other, because once war breaks out, the people will inevitably live in dire straits. Moreover, Wen Renjing and the Queen of Xiling have some connections. , even if you think about it, you won’t be at odds with each other over the affairs of their respective small affiliated countries.”
The kids' eyes widened at once, "Queen?!"
"Xiling is different from other countries. The Xiling royal family had no sons under the late emperor's knees, only three daughters. In the end, a suitable heir was selected from among them to ascend the throne after his death and inherit the country's rule." Duandao paused and looked into his eyes. The children, who could not return to their original positions for a long time, patted their heads one by one with big palms, "Don't underestimate the Queen of Xiling. Not only did Xiling not decline after she came to power, but the national power became stronger than before. Can the eleven countries in the mainland really be called I am afraid that only Xiling can bring peace to the country and the people. Queen Xiling is dedicated to governing the country and is known for her low-key behavior. She rarely participates in external disturbances, so her reputation among Xiling is also very good and she is very convinced by the people."
It was late at night and the gossip was over.
The young and old each went back to their own kennels to sleep.
Among the three girls, Bing'er fell asleep the fastest with a simple mind.
Tianbao's mind was calm and he would not be easily disturbed by external things. He lay down and closed his eyes.
Wheatear was left tossing and turning, unable to sleep, extremely curious about the Queen.
The little girl couldn't sleep, so naturally she wanted to express her excitement to her favorite sister.
"Sister, men have always been respected in the world. Only in Xiling, the emperor is a woman! Can the Queen of Xiling be called a strange woman?" She snuggled into her sister's bed and lay in her ear chattering, "Sister, from now on Shall we go to Xiling? I must meet this queen in my lifetime and see what she looks like!"
Tianbao pressed her bent head down, her eyes still closed and not opened, "The reason why Queen Xiling became the queen is because the late Emperor Xiling did not have a son. If so, who will become the emperor is another matter. Let’s forget about it.”
"Every country should select a worthy heir. As long as a woman has the ability to take on big responsibilities, why can't she ascend the throne over a man and become emperor? Does my sister also think that women are inferior to men?"
"I don't have the idea that women are inferior to men or that men are inferior to women. Regardless of men or women, those who stand in the upper position are more capable." Tianbao said in a light voice.
She didn't look down on men, and no man could look down on her.
And she never cared what outsiders thought.
"Sister, then why did the late Emperor Xiling have no sons, only daughters? And only three of them? No matter how big or small the surrounding countries are, no royal family has less than ten princes and princesses. It's really strange..."
"It's not surprising that the late Emperor Xiling only had one queen and no concubines."
"how do you know?"
"Uncle Broken Blade said, you didn't pay attention."
"Oh my God! That late emperor was also a wonderful man!"
"Go to sleep, we have to get up and practice tomorrow morning."
The girl spoke, and the camp immediately became quiet.
The little girl who had been chattering just now fell asleep instantly.
Ever since they complied with Uncle Broken Knife's rules, they eat and practice like ordinary soldiers every day. They are not allowed to turn on the small stove and cannot rest at will. The juniors, who have been carefree for many years, finally know how to write the word "tired".
It's not as tiring as farming.
At the end of February of the next year, people from various countries who had been stationed on Shu Road for more than half a year finally began to evacuate.
After wasting so much time in the Shu Road, they could neither encircle or suppress Su Jiuni nor dig out the magic weapon. When the leaders of various countries left, they were still full of dissatisfaction.
The residents of Shudaokou Town watched with their own eyes as a large number of people left, and various speculations began to make noise in the dust for a long time.
Only the Beixiang garrison was still stationed at the foot of Tianfeng Mountain, and specially allocated manpower to guard the Mingyue Gorge Cable Bridge.
In early March, troops gathered outside the border.
