After entering the flower hall, there were hot millet porridge and more than a dozen plates of exquisite snacks on the table. After bathing and changing clothes, and temporarily trimming his beard and combing his hair into a bun, Liang Qi finally looked like a human being. He sat in front of Lin Jue,
With his throat rolling, he stared at the food on the table.
"Eat." Lin Jue ordered the food with chopsticks.
"Hey!" Liang Qi started immediately, and in an instant, three bowls of millet porridge and more than a dozen plates of snacks seemed to disappear in an instant. Lin Jue held up his chopsticks in a daze, Liang Qi was not a tall person, how could he eat so well?
How many days have I been hungry?
"I'm sorry. Hiccup!" Liang Qi burped and expressed his apology. Only then did he realize that Lin Jue hadn't finished half of the bowl of rice porridge, and he had already emptied the food.
"Brother Liang, how many days have you been hungry? There has been a good harvest in the mountains, there is no shortage of food. How can you still eat so much?" Lin Jue said with a smile.
"The military advisor doesn't know something. We came to the capital yesterday. We went round and round to find out where the military advisor lived, but we couldn't figure it out. We didn't dare to stay in a hotel. Damn it, staying in a hotel in the capital requires an identity introduction. Where do we have such a thing?
?I didn’t dare to buy food openly for fear of being recognized. So I was hungry for three or four meals. I spent the whole night in the bridge under the Bianhe Wharf Bridge last night..." Liang Qi explained.
Lin Jue understood that Liang Qi and the others were gangsters, so they were naturally extra careful when entering the capital. They were not familiar with the capital, so where could they find their own accommodation? They must be extra cautious.
"Then how did you find my house in the end?" Lin Jue laughed.
"I was lucky. Early in the morning, a brother and I were looking for information on the street. We happened to see Brother Lin Hu riding by on horseback. I thought it was like that. When I shouted, it turned out to be true. Haha, you said, this is not a coincidence.
What? If we hadn't seen him, we wouldn't have known how many days we would have wandered around. Hey, the capital is too big. Damn it, why does the emperor live in such a big place? The streets are like a spider web maze, everywhere
It's all the same, it makes people dizzy." Liang Qi replied.
Lin Jue couldn't help but laugh. If the terrain of the capital city is complicated, how can it be more complicated than the dense forests and deep valleys of Funiu Mountain? Liang Qi was like a fish in water in the mountains, but when he arrived in the capital, he became a bumpkin. Fortunately, he was lucky, otherwise it would have been really troublesome.
"Military advisor, you are really capable. You have lived in such a big house in the capital. When I followed Lin Hu in, I thought that the military advisor had become the emperor and lived in a palace." Liang Qi smacked her lips.
"Don't talk nonsense. If you tell people what you said, I won't lose my head." Lin Jue said with a smile.
Liang Qi said with a smile: "Let's talk about what we are afraid of. I am the first to agree with the military advisor becoming the emperor. The emperor may not be more capable than the military advisor. By the way, I heard that the military advisor got the top prize in the exam and became a high official? That's awesome.
sharp."
Lin Jue smiled and said, "Did you hear what Mu Qing said? I wrote a letter and told her."
"Yes, the leader of the village killed two big fat pigs that day, took some wine and invited a dozen of us brothers to drink. Everyone asked her why, but she didn't say anything. She told me secretly afterwards.
"Liang Qi chuckled.
Lin Jue nodded secretly. His identity was a secret. Except for Gao Mu Qingliang Qi and a few others, no one else knew Lin Jue's identity. Even in the village, Lin Jue always wore a mask. Everyone's impression of Lin Jue was just that
He looked like a middle-aged yellow-faced uncle. He left the village in the name of military advisor Fang Lin, telling everyone that he was going to do important things. People in the village did not know his true identity. If you connect the number one scholar status with the military advisor, everything will change.
It goes without saying. There is always danger when one's identity is exposed. Who knows if someone with ulterior motives might inform someone? So Mu Qing must be extremely careful not to expose her identity.
"Actually, it was just an accident. I thought it would be good to be a Jinshi, but I ended up getting the top pick. I actually didn't make any preparations. You know, before the big exam, I was hanging around in the village." Lin Jue said with a smile.
.
Liang Qi rolled his eyes and flew up to the sky, thinking to himself: Winning the top prize was just an accident, did you win casually? If you prepared carefully, you wouldn't be able to go to heaven?
"A military advisor is not an ordinary person, and anything a military advisor wants to do is naturally impossible. Of course you are good at being a top scholar, but if you do this, I'm afraid you will never come back to Luoyan Valley again. Liang Qi, please tell me.
If you don’t like to hear it, I actually hope that the military advisor is not hit, so that you can return to our Luoyan Valley." Liang Qi told the truth.
Lin Jue said with a smile: "How can you be like this? You actually want me to be named Luosun Mountain. Luoyan Valley is a good place, but I can't ignore other people's feelings. Besides, Luoyan Valley is on the right track now, so there is no need for me to stay in the village.
It’s still there.”
Liang Qi sighed: "I understand too. But the leader of the village is pitiful. Although she is very strong in front of us, we all know that she misses the military advisor very much. When Chuncao and I chatted in private, Chuncao said that he bumped into her several times.
The master of the stronghold wept secretly. She also played endlessly with the things the military advisor left in the stronghold..."
Lin Jue frowned and sighed softly. He felt quite guilty in his heart. Although he had done some things for Gao Muqing, he could not stay by her side after all. She could only hold a strand of her hair and stay alone in the empty room every day.
, empty and lonely. No wonder she feels uncomfortable.
Liang Qi hurriedly said: "I have this mouth. Chun Cao told me not to talk nonsense, but I couldn't help it when I saw the military advisor. In fact, it doesn't matter. After all, the leader of the village is a woman, and it is reasonable to miss the military advisor. Isn't Chun Cao like that?
I was crying when I left..."
Lin Jue chuckled and said, "Have you hooked up with the leader of the Fifth Village?"
Liang Qi groaned and said, "Ah, I spilled the beans. This... Chun Cao didn't let me say it."
Lin Jue laughed. He naturally knew that Liang Qi was interested in Qin Chuncao, the leader of the fifth village, but it did not develop so fast when he was in the village. Now it seems that he has succeeded.
"Congratulations, when are you getting married? This is a good thing, why don't others know about it? It seems I have to prepare a generous gift." Lin Jue said.
Liang Qi said coyly: "It's still too early to get married. It's still very early."
Lin Jue said: "Don't start messing up and then give up. It's not good to get someone but don't marry her."
Liang Qi said angrily: "Why am I unwilling? Chuncao said that we have to wait until our village is strong in Funiu Mountain and the officers and soldiers and other villagers no longer dare to touch our thoughts before they are willing to marry me. What can I do?
?”
Lin Jue laughed endlessly and praised: "The leader of the fifth village has backbone, but that day is not far away. How is the situation in the village now? I guess it must be prosperous. Mu Qing and I were in contact a few months ago
I wrote a few letters, but then suddenly there was no communication. I also had some trouble here, so I never asked about it."
Liang Qiyi slapped his thigh and said: "It's strange that the leader of Dazhai didn't receive a letter from the military advisor, so he was worried. It seems that the letter couldn't come in. The military advisor didn't know that the officers and soldiers launched an attack in Funiu Mountain in May. We
I was forced to fight a few more battles. It was not until July that I felt safe. However, the blockade of the mountains was tightened. I wanted to go out to buy some goods several times, but I couldn't get out at all. It must be that the blockade was too tight and I couldn't deliver messages.
They can't get in either."
Lin Jue was surprised and said: "The officers and soldiers attacked? What is the outcome? Is the village safe?"
Liang Qi hurriedly said: "Don't worry, military advisor. Thanks to the military advisor's plan for the mountain stronghold, the fortifications and arrow towers played a big role. More than 5,000 soldiers and horses from Ruzhou were flanked when they entered the mountain pass, and they were beaten to the point of scurrying like rats. In two months, they
After attacking eight or nine times, they were blocked at the mountain pass and couldn't get in. In the end, they gave up. Thanks to the military advisor's previous strict request for us to build fortifications, many people in the mountain pass area were not willing to spend effort to build fortifications.
But all of them have been put to great use. If not, I am afraid I will have to pay a huge price this time when I fall into Yangu Dazhai."
Lin Jue breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "That's good, as long as we didn't attack it. The defense in the mountain pass area must not be relaxed. It is a strategic area. It is convenient for us to leave the mountain and for officers and soldiers to enter the mountain. We must firmly grasp it.
In hand."
Liang Qi nodded and said, "I know. We built twenty-three more arrow towers along the cliff to form a crossfire. They are stronger than before."
Lin Jue praised: "Yes, definitely not too much."
Liang Qidao: "It's just that because of the tight blockade by the officers and soldiers, our village is a little short of supplies. We still have a lot of weapons, but the arrows are getting less and less with use. This is the most troublesome. I discussed with the leader of the village and we have to get some.
It will only work if the arrow goes in."
Lin Jue thought for a while and said: "Don't buy arrows, buy iron ingots and go in. There is a blacksmith in the village, open a workshop, and you can make arrows on the spot with iron ingots. Although iron ingots are fragile, they are
It is much safer than arrows. If you find it, you can pass it off and say it is for making iron pots and agricultural tools. Once you find the arrows, you can’t tell. Besides, where can you buy arrows? Unless there is a special channel.
Those are arms. The iron ingots can be bought at the blacksmith and farm tool shops in the county towns, but they don't attract much attention."
"Yes, look at my stupid brain, the military advisor is right. I'll do it when I get back." Liang Qi patted his forehead and said.
Lin Jue said: "Money is still tight in the cottage. If you don't have any money, go back and get 50,000 to 60,000 taels from me this time."
Liang Qi hurriedly waved her hands and said: "No, no, we are very rich."
Lin Jue frowned and said, "Where did the money come from?"
Liang Qi said with a smile: "Have you forgotten, military advisor? Our village has had a great harvest. You have seen all the treasures I brought you. The rice and wheat are plump, and the sweet potatoes are as big as lotus roots. All other foods have been harvested. Dam
There are also a lot of fish and shrimps. It’s been very dry and smoky outside this year, but the water in our reservoir is plentiful and the food has not been affected by the drought at all. I don’t know how much food has been harvested. The other cottages are jealous, but they don’t dare to attack us, so we
We sold the grain to them at a high price, and now there are a bunch of treasures in the underground vault of the village."
Lin Jue was shocked and said: "You actually sell grain? That is a strategic material. There are so many people in the village, how much do you need to feed yourself? Can you still sell it?"
