Whether it is the dense forest on the isolated island of Zhengmeng Pagoda, or their Taolin Garden in the west mountain of Zhaishuiling, or the Feishuang Pavilion, Kangku Mansion, Gaocheng Garden in Hengxiang Mansion, or even the declining Chen Family Courtyard and Linbi in Xizhu Village She bought the Xinchen Mansion less than five years ago, and these places are now all under her control.
These messenger birds only recognize direction and purpose, not people. No matter where they land, someone will take over.
"Zhan Ning, have I been in Hengxiang for a month?" Xia Zhaoyi suddenly asked.
Zhan Ning watched the big bird disappear in the northwest, thought for a moment, and shook his head: "Not yet, but soon."
"Why does it feel like I've been here for a long time, as long as half a year?"
"That's because the second lady has been busy and busy, and Tian Dayao's troops are coming to cause trouble. What's the point of passing by?"
Xia Zhaoyi laughed, looked at him, put his hands behind his hands and walked toward Hengxiang Mansion, saying: "You are really overbearing, and you won't let anyone walk on the road."
Everyone laughed and followed.
When he was about to enter Hengxiang Mansion, Xia Zhaoyi's sharp eyes caught sight of Qi Yong waiting at the intersection in front of him.
From the looks of it, they were waiting for her, and had been waiting for a long time.
"General Ah Li!" Qi Yong led people to greet him and raised his hands to bow.
"You are quite well informed and know that I am out of town." Xia Zhaoyi said with a smile.
"General Ah Li, please go around the villain," Qi Yong lamented, "If those soldiers and horses don't go back with me, the lives of my whole family, young and old, will be at risk!"
"When you led troops from Fuzhou to kill Hengxiang, you didn't necessarily think about the young and old in Hengxiang."
Qi Yong was about to cry but had no tears. He lifted up his robe and was about to kneel down. Zhan Ning and Shi Guoxin immediately stepped forward to stop him.
Xia Zhaoyi looked at him with a smile: "What are you afraid of? Not only your family has young and old, but Chen Xihua also has young and old. All the lieutenants in your Northern Expedition army are young and old. I don't believe Jiao Jinhu can kill all of you." .”
"General Ali, please allow us to redeem some of the captured soldiers first. This great kindness will be remembered by Dingxin forever."
"What's the use of this promise from you? Is it possible that you think that one day I will need your help?"
Qi Yong has lived for most of his life, and even when facing the angry Jiao Jinhu, he can speak a word and have a sharp mind.
But standing in front of this girl, he quoted the classics and prepared a manuscript for a day, but he could not utter a single word. Not only was he at a loss for words, he was also tongue-tied.
After being anxious for a while, his mind finally turned around and he remembered two of the points he wanted to talk about before.
"No, General Ah Li must have some need for my help!" Qi Yong said eagerly, "The general came to Hengxiang this time. He was busy running around every day. He was busy with things and was disturbed. For example, a few days ago, soldiers and horses from the traveling state went south. The general will definitely be troubled by it! In the current troubled times for many years, Hengxiang has gradually transformed from a place where wind and rain are calm to a house of eight conflicts. Not to mention Youzhou, there are several powerful forces outside the east river looking at it. How can General Ali not be troubled? Not annoyed? Not to mention, going south...and the Three States Dynasty of Enyi Gong."
For this last sentence, his voice was very low.
Xia Zhaoyi raised his eyebrows.
Jian Jun shouted: "What do you mean? From what you say, Jiao Jinhu has to take action against Hengxiang, right? Then if we return this captured soldier to you, are we pigs?"
"No, no, let me finish what I'm saying!" Qi Yong looked at Xia Zhaoyi, "General Ali, as long as you promise to allow me to redeem some of my troops and horses first, I will ensure that Hengxiang is safe in the south, and there will never be another incident. Duke Enyi’s military campaign to the north occurred!"
After saying that, he looked at the girl with sweat dripping from his eyes.
The girl's eyes were clear and bright, and she was smiling slightly, which was obviously better than not smiling at all, but the more Qi Yong looked at her, the more frightened she became.
He suddenly realized that if she was in a bad mood, he would be afraid.
If she is in a good mood, he will be even more afraid.
This, how could there be such a woman in this world!
Xia Zhaoyi said: "Qi Yong, can you write a storybook?"
Qi Yong was stunned. He didn't expect that she could turn the topic in such a twisted way.
"General Ali, what do you mean?"
"You literati often love listening to books, can you write them yourself?"
"I do...
...Written a little bit.”
"Okay," Xia Zhaoyi said with a smile, "I'll give you a pen and a piece of white paper. You can write whatever story you want on the thousands of miles of rivers and plains stretching from the north of the Three Prefectures to the south of Hengxiang."
"
Qi Yong didn't know why, and looked at each other several times with the men beside him.
"General Ali, what do you mean... whatever story you want to write, what is it?"
"What you just said is very touching, but if you think about it carefully, if I don't return half of the captured soldiers to you, it seems that you will do more to stop Enyi Gong from sending troops to the north, right?"
Several men were shocked.
They seemed to finally understand why the other party was always indifferent during this period. It turned out that it was because of this calculation!
"General Ali! You, you!
"Qi Yong was speechless.
"What do I want?" Xia Zhaoyi smiled, "I will give you paper and pen, and you will write this storybook, and then I will accompany you on stage to sing a big show. This gives you face and pomp, what's wrong with that?"
Qi Yong's hands that had been raised began to tremble, and he twisted his fist into a fist, and his fingers drew blood on the back of the other hand.
His mood was changing at this time. In just a short moment, he had gone from the anger and helplessness of being left out in the past few days, and the expression of despair when communicating, to the rage after finding out that the other party was trying to take advantage of him, and then to the unspeakable emotion now.
Shocked and shocked.
He has read hundreds of military books and studied countless war strategies. He has never seen the art of war that involves the enemy forces in a show, and he has never seen anyone who can contain all forces with such ease.
And, Qi Yong discovered that Hengxiang seemed to have a hundred thousand troops stationed, but in fact, for more than a month, no formal war had occurred.
Troops and horses from the three states marched northward, but nothing happened.
The Youzhou army marched south and passed through the border safely without incident.
She has the strength, the weapons, the strength of the troops, and the reputation of dispatching troops, she has it all.
But there is no need to start a fight.
The so-called good enemy is better than the invisible.
To fight or not to fight, not to fight but to surrender to others.
She even let Chen Xihua, who had offended her, and Qi Yong, because she didn't have to give him this face, and even acted like a housewife with him.
She could have written directly to Duke Enyi and ridiculed him and General Chen for their incompetence.
In anger, Duke Enyi was able to slash them with a knife on the spot.
What kind of containment, acting, with her military talent and the elites in her hands, not to mention defeating the Sanzhou soldiers who came to raise their troops, or even going south to defeat all the territory of Enyi Gong, Qi Yong was convinced that she could not only defeat them
It can be done in just one month.
The men who came with Qi Yong were still angry, but they heard Qi Yong's voice trembling: "General Ali...not only has great wisdom and wisdom, General Ali is also a generous and benevolent person. Dingxin, I admire you!"
He wanted to kneel again, but was stopped by Zhan Ning.
"Our second young lady doesn't like this. You're such a good person, why should you kneel down!"
Qi Yong looked up at him, then at the girl, his eyes suddenly turned red, he raised his hands and bowed his hands: "It is a great blessing to have General Ali here!"
