In the evening, it was destined to be a carnival night. Everyone except those on duty were allowed to drink and celebrate. Yuexi specifically asked the kitchen to add food to everyone. It was a pity that the bonfire barbecue could no longer be held. Due to the trees' natural aversion to fire, at the end of the day
Within the influence of the boundary tree, the chain reaction of free radicals is extremely affected, and it is difficult for ordinary wood to continue burning. However, the boundary tree combined with calcium carbide can produce light and heat more effectively than fluorite and obsidian.
The barbecue and the rare supply of wine made the pioneers, who had been miserable for two months, very happy. Everyone danced and sang, and the suppressed emotions accumulated during the rainy season were released.
Under Hongyun, the old brothers had been drinking together since Yuexi. Liuzi had grabbed a jar of wine early and was sitting under Hongyun, for fear that others would snatch his wine. At this moment, he was giving Hongyun an account with a red nose, telling her to pay her every day.
How many star beads did she scatter?
A Yong lay down and asked: "Brother Yue, this red cloud is really getting more festive the more I look at it. Brother Yue, can you name it? Hongyun, good luck and wealth. With Hongyun, can we collect money lying down in the future?"
Yes, I keep seeing caravans passing through Emerald Town, and they all have to collect tolls."
"It's early. We have to wait until Blind Li connects the dark vines. At present, Hongyun's location must be kept secret."
"Oh, that's it."
"But it's okay. Money will soon no longer be a problem. When we go back in a few days, we will let Mr. Ni and Shopkeeper Chen start issuing bonds. By then we will have money and we can expand the 39th team first.
We arrived at a camp. Even though we are a local force with territory and armed forces, we are the kings of mountains, not the kings of trees." Yue Xi was also a little drunk and told her next plan.
"A battalion, how many people do we need? Our current 39 team's main force of 30 people is considered a platoon, and the reserve team is also 30 people. The second platoon and one company, six companies, the backbone of the monsters alone costs 300
Sixty people, Guanzhong soldiers need to buy more than a hundred. Brother, we are so rich now, will they all be under my command in the future?" Ajie was particularly excited.
Yue Xi half-squinted her eyes, "If you're not the commander, who else can I count on? Look at how promising you are, how can you do it now? Study the art of war well, memorize the regulations, and practice hard with Master Wei."
"Um."
"Brother, give our 39th team a name. All legions have numbers and names." Ayong suggested.
"Cow Demon."
"Knife, your skill in naming is really worrying." Ajie joked.
"It's up to you, the aurochs shield does look a lot like a cow." The name of the knife was apt, but it was not handsome enough, and everyone shook their heads.
"How about calling it a field platoon?" Ajie suggested.
"Are you crazy about women? When will your mature woman come to meet you? Xiao Qingjiao, why don't you let me teach you first? Women in their thirties are like wolves. I'm afraid you won't be able to stand it.
." Big Tou Chen obviously brought up the topic in a wrong way.
Ajie knew he couldn't beat him in this regard, so he snorted coldly.
"The 39th Team will be our elite force in the future, let's call it the Hairpin Owl Guards."
"Well, it's up to our brother Yue to choose the name. This name is reliable."
In Emerald Town, under the silver tree, the newly appointed tribune Barak had just finished reviewing the last document and was lying on his chair to rest for a while. The door of the office opened and Linmei walked in excitedly, "Hood,
You see, the good news is that Liu Yuexi just received a report from the Communications Department. There is a strong gravity change reaction in an unknown area in the southeast. Isn’t that direction the direction of Liu Yuexi’s enclave? In terms of time
It's almost the same. Lei Jiji, if you look at the data, the movement is not small! It's really good."
"Well, it's pretty good." Barak's words were obviously absent-minded.
Linmei is a sensitive person. When she saw this, she walked around the desk, hooked her hand on Barak from behind the chair, and rubbed his head with her chin. "What's wrong, Hood, are you too tired recently? Are you worried?"
"Lin Mei,
Do you know this Liu Yuexi well?"
"We haven't known each other for too long, but we are familiar with each other. What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I just thought he was a little bit."
"What do you mean, Hood, what did you hear?" Linmei smelled a different meaning.
Balak held Lin Mei's hand and said, "It's just a guess. I recently talked about something with some colleagues in Wangjing. The second son of the Yan family seems to be interested in this enclave."
"Oh, does it matter?"
"It's hard to say. I don't know what Liu Yuexi's background is. If there is no foundation, then joint development with the nobles is a good choice. Of course, you will have to be manipulated by others, but there are some key resources that are really impossible without the nobles.
Looking at the data you just read, I guess Liu Yuexi has communicated with the barrier tree, otherwise there wouldn't be such a big movement."
"Isn't this a good thing? It's great to be able to communicate with the barrier tree on its own without even asking for a magician. It's not controlled by others." Lin Mei thought it was okay.
Barak sighed, "Of course things are good things, but when good things happen to people, they are not necessarily good things. People are difficult and dangerous. If Liu Yuexi can't communicate with the barrier tree, it will be simple. There will definitely be
The noble is willing to marry his legitimate daughter to him. When the time comes, the magister in the noble family will have partial control of the barrier tree, and the lord is the son-in-law. The two parties will form a tight political marriage, and they will naturally protect Liu Yue as one of his own.
Now that Xi has control over the barrier tree, this matter has become unconventional and hard to say."
"I heard him say that Lord Situ admires him very much, and he is considered to be his half-uncle. He has the idea of marrying his only daughter, Xue Li, to him."
"Well, Situ Ming is quite important. His wife's mother's family also has a magician, but I heard that Xue Li has gone to Oak Academy to study as a boarder, and she and Secretary Lan's son seem to be interesting. Everything, if in the end
Liu Yuexi failed to get the support of the nobles, and I don’t know what will happen if Young Master Yan uses some tricks."
"Hood, can you think of a way to help him? Do you think he looks like us back then? He has ideals, ambitions, and opportunities. That's great." Lin Mei hugged Barak tightly and recalled those years.
All kinds.
Barak pulled Lin Mei over: "It's a bit similar. Haha, it's been fifteen years. I'm old, but you don't see me getting older. I will try my best to help, but this is all Wangjing's game.
It's difficult for little people like you and me to intervene. The main thing is to see if Liu Yuexi can protect herself. Come to my place tonight."
"Well, I'd better come here quietly, just hold the door open for me." Linmei kissed him, turned around and left.
Solan Town is located 10 kilometers southwest of it, and can be reached without crossing the Dark Matter Realm. Emerald Town is the most important fortress town in the southeast. In order to ensure its strong urban defense function, urban production and related supporting facilities have been deliberately
It is scattered to the surrounding satellite towns. There are more than a dozen small towns like this around Emerald Town. Solan is an important wood and cellulose processing base. There are not many residents, mainly industrial workers, and of course people who come here to make a living.
refugees and untouchables. This is also the hometown of Twilight Yue and Zi Ling.
In a small gambling house in the town, a slovenly-looking middle-aged uncle was concentrating on the dice that were about to be opened. "Big, big, big, eh, why are they still small?" The middle-aged uncle sighed and looked at the dice.
The official took away his last bargaining chip.
I've been really unlucky these past few days. I don't know what's going on here, but Brother Gua refuses to lend money to him anymore. For a gambler like Twilight Jiguang, if he can't borrow money to recover his losses, it's almost his death.
I thought that if my daughter married such a powerful man, and she was also the father-in-law, it goes without saying that she would be rich and noble in the future. Unexpectedly, Liu Yuexi completely ignored the affection of her husband-in-law and stuck him to death.
Damn it, he was treated coldly, and there was no need to talk about borrowing money for meals. Ziyue, his unfilial daughter, ignored him. This day was becoming more and more unbearable. A gust of cool wind blew by, just like Ziling's love for him.
His own attitude was equally cold. Twilight? Jiguang turned up the collar of his coat and huddled back. A figure stopped him, "Is it Twilight? Mr. Jiguang?" Jiguang turned around, "It's me, sir, do we know each other?"
"...
Liu's Mansion in Jade Town is busy up and down. News comes from the enclave that Hongyun has been officially replanted. Liu Yuexi's advance team will also return in the near future, so everyone in the mansion is making preparations. There is a large kitchen in front of the
The drying area is a good place to do all kinds of chores, and it is also a good place for the servants to chat and relax.
"Hey, Xiao Hong, you heard that my wife went to the shop outside with Mr. Monkey today."
"Really? It's almost noon. Are you back?"
"I haven't seen you, A Kuan, have you seen the young mistress come back?"
"Nothing."
"Ah, our master really trusts Master Monkey so much that he has entrusted the whole family to Master Monkey."
"Yes, I heard that the master and Mr. Hou were brothers in the past, and they were both named Liu. They are brothers, of course."
"You still have to pay attention to some rules after rebirth. The family members in the inner courtyard and the brothers in the outer palace are so close, it won't sound good if word spreads." The girl named Sulan stirred up this vague rumor.
"Don't talk nonsense, are we, the servants, free to talk about Madam's affairs?" The older Aunt Shi cautiously advised the younger girls not to cause trouble.
"Look at what I said, what Auntie Shi said is true, but I heard that my wife was a dancer before. She happened to meet my master and fell in love with her. She redeemed her body and later married her. What a good fortune.
"
After hearing such secret news, many people who were working came over.
"So that's it. No wonder your figure is so well maintained. Last time I saw my wife smiling at Mr. Monkey. She looked so charming."
"Really? There is still this matter."
"Of course, I saw it with my own eyes." The girl named Qing He said with certainty.
"As you said, I seem to have seen my wife and Mr. Monkey discussing something in the garden once. The two of them were talking and laughing."
"Yes."
"What are you talking about? You don't have any work to do, right? You all are idle and talking nonsense. Madam, you are worthy of talking about it. If you let me hear it again, I will definitely tell Madam to complain."
Zhi Nan is the most powerful personal maid in Twilight Palace. Madam is now in charge of everything in the house. She is the so-called seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister. Naturally, her personal maid is one level above other servants, and her words are naturally incomparable.
People dare to object.
Outside the Liu Mansion, a carriage stopped, and the concierge quickly brought out the horse stool. The person who got out of the carriage was Zi Yue, "Monkey, I'm really bothering you today. If you weren't here, I really wouldn't know that there are people who can sing oboe like this.
It’s all too cunning.”
"It's okay. Don't be surprised if you see it often. In the future, if you are like Shopkeeper Hao, you can come to me and I will ensure that I help you make it docile."
"I still have to thank you. Should I spend the day here or go back to my home?"
The monkey thought for a while and said with a smile: "I still have to go back today, there are still some things at home."
Twilight wanted to persuade her to stay, "Why don't we leave after dinner."
"No, I'm leaving first, Twilight, you go in, it's cold outside."
After the monkey's car left, Ziyue entered the inner courtyard. Zhinan came over to greet her, took off Ziyue's robe and brought hot water to clean her hands.
While Zi Yue washed her hands, she asked, "Oh, I'm exhausted. Zhi Nan, is there anything going on at home today? How are you, old lady? Where's Zi Ling, have you done your homework well?"
Zhi Nan took off the accessories from Zi Yue's hair, "Everything is fine. Miss Zi Ling is studying hard. The old lady is going to the shrine to make offerings today, and it will take a day before she comes back in the evening."
