Naturally, Shen Tang did not need to make arrangements for the rest of the people. Xin Qiji and his escorts lived directly in the outer courtyard, and all the guards at the door were replaced by their own people!
Shen Chou and Lei Zheng lived at the entrance of the inner courtyard! The only ones who actually followed Shen Tang into the attic were the two little girls and the maids from the Jiazong tribe who followed! Of course, early in the morning The maids who are already here are not included. They are here to take care of Shen Tang, and of course they also have to live in the attic.
However, without waiting for Shen Tang's arrangements, Murong Yu stood up and said to the Dali maids, "From now on, you will all live in the east and west wing rooms, and the Jiazong tribe will live on the attic floor! "
After finishing speaking, Murong Yu smiled flatteringly at Shen Tang, "Brother-in-law, I have seen it just now. The rooms on the third floor are the most spacious and exquisite. How about we live on the third floor?"
The fifth floor is an open attic that cannot be occupied, the second floor is the hall and study room, and the fourth floor is quite small!"
"Brother-in-law, what do you think of my arrangement?"
Shen Tang looked at the maids who had their eyes on him, then nodded and said, "Let's arrange it this way!"
Although these maids in Dali have exquisite looks, Shen Tang doesn't like that they can come in and out of his house at any time. Moreover, having Murong Yu and Long Li'er following them this time can indeed reduce some trouble.
"Yeah, brother-in-law is the best!"
Hearing Shen Tang's agreement, Murong Yu immediately jumped up, and then he held Shen Tang in one hand and Long Li'er in the other and walked upstairs, "Let's go and decorate the room quickly. I can still do it." I have never lived in such a luxurious house..."
The layout and decoration of the house are extremely comprehensive and luxurious! The two girls only replaced some things for their own use, but they didn't bother too much!
In Shen Tang's room, he was too lazy to decorate anything, he just let the two girls clean it up and then gave up!
"Brother!"
Shen Tang was resting in the house when Long Lier's voice sounded outside the door.
"Li'er, what's the matter?"
Shen Tang stood up and opened the door.
"The food has been arranged. Brother has been working hard for a long time, so go and eat something quickly! Otherwise, how can you sleep when you are hungry!"
Long Li'er said softly.
When Shen Tang and others arrived at the city gate, it was already past noon, and then they were delayed outside the city gate for a long time. At this time, the sky was already slightly dark!
Everyone just ate some food in the morning, and at this moment, they were indeed a little hungry!
"good!"
Long Li'er led Shen Tang to the hall on the second floor. A sumptuous dish had been laid out on the dining table! Except for Murong Yu, who was sitting next to him swallowing his saliva, there was no one else waiting on him.
After Shen Tang sat down, Long Li'er helped Shen Tang get the bowls and chopsticks, "Brother, we arrived a little late. There are some of my favorite dishes that they didn't prepare in the kitchen. Therefore, some of the meals are prepared by them, and the other part is cooked by Li'er! All the dishes have been tried, and I can eat them with confidence."
"Today, my brother will eat something simple. Tomorrow I will ask them to prepare everything. Whatever my brother wants to eat, Li'er will cook it for you personally!"
"It doesn't matter, this is already very rich! You two, hurry up and eat too! You must be tired from the day today!"
Shen Tang said with a smile that having such a beautiful and well-behaved little cook is definitely a great blessing in life. Shen Tang only felt that his appetite had grown a little bit along the way.
After eating, Shen Tang and the two girls went back to their rooms to rest!
In the outer courtyard, Xin Qiji and Yue Lin had just finished eating. Yue Lin was holding the gun in his hand and gesticulating continuously!
"General, why can't I learn the commander's shot? The commander used indeed the Yue family's marksmanship, and I can imitate it, but the timing, sharpness and consistency are too far behind!"
Xin Qiji couldn't help but smile, "Yue Lin! Although the commander is not very old, even a little younger than you, he has experienced more than a dozen battles in the past few years?
Just like what the commander said, this marksmanship is for killing people. You have not experienced the training of the battlefield, so of course you are far from the commander!"
Yue Lin nodded with some regret, "Hey, it's a pity that we have to negotiate peace with Dali this time. Otherwise, if we can really fight with Dali, I will definitely go to the battlefield and fight the enemy myself!"
"Now, there is no war between us and the Kingdom of Jin. I really don't know when I can really go to the battlefield!"
"sit!"
Xin Qiji lifted up his robe and sat directly on the stone chair in the courtyard! Yue Lin also put away his spear and sat next to Xin Qiji!
"Do you think that I, the Song Dynasty, have settled down now?"
Xin Qiji said slowly, looking at Yue Lin's curious eyes, Xin Qiji said in a deep voice, "Yue Lin, this stability is only seen by ordinary people. In fact, all kinds of wars have never stopped, but... Some news cannot be spread."
"Since the commander-in-chief values you, I don't have to hide some things from you!"
"Not to mention before, after the battle between Chengdu and Tubo last year, the commander-in-chief had sent troops westward on the emperor's order and directly entered the territory of Tubo! Now, our Song Dynasty has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses conquering Tubo. Many important passes are already under our control!"
"ah……"
Yue Lin exclaimed, it was indeed the first time for him to know this shocking news!
"General, are you saying that we are fighting Tibet now?"
"good!"
Xin Qiji nodded, "We, the Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom, have combined tens of thousands of troops. They have not stopped since the battle of Chengdu Mansion last year."
"You also know the attitude of the ministers in the court. Therefore, apart from His Majesty and the Marshal, only a few close associates know about this matter! You must not leak this news."
Yue Lin nodded excitedly, "General, don't worry, even if the general dies, he will never leak the news!"
"Other than that, why do you think Dali took the initiative to withdraw his troops?"
"The local soldiers and horses on Guangnan West Road were not effective in fighting, and the imperial court wanted to send troops to conquer, but the treasury was empty.
Therefore, His Majesty gave a secret order to order the general to personally conquer Southern Xinjiang!"
"At the end of February, the commander secretly mobilized more than 10,000 troops in Diaomen Village, and then entered the southern Xinjiang area!"
"After nearly a month of conquest, many tribes in Wumeng Mountain and the tribes in Qiongbu Prefecture were all conquered by the commander-in-chief and surrendered! Then, they used troops against Dali under the commander-in-chief's order.
This led to internal instability in Dali, so Dali had to stop the invasion on Guangnan West Road and actively ask for peace talks!"
