Chapter 169 The good period is approaching

Busy and fulfilling days always go by quickly. More than a month has passed in a blink of an eye, and it is already a hot midsummer.

Compared with the outside the mountain, the heat in Qingyunbao, which is surrounded by mountains and forests, is much lighter. Especially in the evening, the sunset is slanting and the breeze is gentle, and the scenery is pleasant and the heat is greatly reduced. At this time, Chu Tianya would ride a horse and run a few laps on the hill north of the castle with Xiao Linglong.

It's called "learning riding", but fools know that they are talking about love.

"Tianya, how did you persuade the second brother not to move the eldest brother's grave to Qixingzhai for burial?" At present, it is estimated that only Xiao Linglong will still call Chu Tianya in the whole Qingyunbao, and it is very natural. She said, "The second brother has such a deep feeling for the eldest brother. I didn't think so much before.

"Jiao Erge is originally an affectionate and righteous man, but he is used to being introsive and not good at expressing. Coupled with the death of Brother Guan this time, it has something to do with him. There are also some guilt elements in this!" Chu Tianya said, "Second Brother Jiao wants to bury Brother Guan's grave in Qixing Village, which is actually just an excuse. He couldn't bear to work hard for more than ten years and fell into the hands of Liang Xing and others. He wants to go back to Qixing Village again. But in this case, Xishan, which has just been integrated, is bound to be divided again, which is not a good thing. I didn't persuade him much. That's how I told him frankly. Brother Jiao is actually a reasonable person. After figured out this layer, he changed his original intention.

"Then you promised to build a cemetery for Brother Guan?" Xiao Linglong said.

Chu Tianya nodded, "Guan Shan, Wang Yu, these two people should become the spiritual leaders of our Hedong Rebel Army. It's only superficial work to build a cemetery. In the future, I will let the spirit of their two heroes last forever in Xishan!"

Xiao Linglong stared at the sunset in the distance and whispered, "When I was very young, I heard that the Han people are a very magical nation, and they can assimilate any nation. I didn't think so at that time, but now I believe it.

"Why?"

"Because of the 'spirit' you just said." Xiao Linglong turned her head and looked at Chu Tianya and said, "People will always die, and nothing will be left when they die. But his knowledge, knowledge and spirit can be passed on to inspire future generations. It seems that this is a habit of the Han people, which is always passing on the deeds of their ancestors from generation to generation, so it has achieved a long history and culture.

Chu Tianya smiled and said, "You are actually talking about the 'civilization' created by us Han people."

"Maybe!" Xiao Linglong smiled and said, "The word 'civilization' sounds a little difficult to understand, but now I'm starting to be interested in the history and culture of the Han nationality."

"Oh?" Chu Tianya was surprised and said with a smile, "Do you need a teacher?"

"Need. But it's not like you." Xiao Linglong said with a smile.

"What? How dare you look down on me!" Chu Tianya is quite unconvinced.

"You will also plagiarize a few poems of your ancestors, plus play a little mind and play with a little power. These are obviously not the essence of Han culture. I don't learn." Xiao Linglong giggled and said, "Even if I need a teacher, it has to be like that!"

When Chu Tianya heard this, he was not annoyed, but smiled.

When a girl deliberately talks about the advantages of other men in front of you, it proves that she mostly belongs to you. In fact, her voice is saying - you see, although he is better than you in some way, I still chose you.

This is obviously Xiao Linglong's usual style.

Although Chu Tianya's skin is only in his early twenties, coupled with his previous life's resume, he is no longer a "young chick" in his emotional direction. Perhaps, the maturity, steadyness, introcity and humor that he shows inadvertently from time to time is the sharp weapon to truly "conquer" Xiao Linglong.

A woman like Xiao Linglong, who is arrogant, delicate and experienced, may not believe in love at first sight and is completely immune to the pursuit of fanatical pursuit, but it is difficult to stand the long-lasting love like a frog boiled in warm water. Coincidentally, Chu Tianya inadvertently used this trick.

"Flying Fox, marry me!" Chu Tianya suddenly said.

Xiao Linglong was obviously stunned. Suddenly, Xia flew all over her cheeks and turned her head and pretended to be calm, "Aren't we discussing the teacher's affairs? Don't change the topic!"

"It's not contradictory!" Chu Tianya smiled and said, "When we get married, you will have a ready-made, all-round and free teacher."

"You?"

"Of course!"

"What can you teach me!" Xiao Linglong was obviously laughing strongly and said to Chu Tianya with her side face, "Are you cheating?"

"In addition, we can also learn from each other." Chu Tianya smiled and said, "For example, let's study how to have a baby together."

"You are bored!" Xiao Linglong was suddenly embarrassed and ran forward with a whip, "Deng Tuzi, don't chase me!"

Chu Tianya laughed and said, "If I'm a fool, I won't chase you! - Little lady, wait for me!"

The two of them drove a pony and ran into the castle one after another. Maybe they were too nervous and Xiao Linglong ran very fast, so Chu Tianya had to chase after him. Many people along the way saw and smiled secretly, saying that our young master must have made Princess Xiao angry again - why didn't they get married? We are all waiting for the wedding wine!

Xiao Linglong went straight to the place where the Xiaoqi camp was stationed and where Jiao Wentong was stationed.

All the military power of the whole Xishan and Qixingzhai Branch belongs to the military aircraft department, which is jointly led by Chu Tianya, Meng De, Jiao Wentong and Bai Xi. Of course, Chu Tianya has more decision-making power, and the other three are just assistants. But in addition, the leaders of the 12th National Congress also have their own direct troops. "Xiaoqiying Camp" is a subordinate of Jiao Wentong's pro-Xun. Its predecessor is the 'three thousand elite riders' that have been following him in Qixingzhai before.

More than 60% of their members are born riders of the Khitan, Xi and other Hu people who fled from the north. They have been following Jiao Wentong for some years, and they are very tacitly close to each other. Over the years, Jiao Wentong has made a very famous name in the Hedong area with this trump card in his hand, which makes the government dare not stand up.

When the troops under Jiao Wentong launched the cavalry attack, they retained many Hu people's hunting habits, such as "loud whistle" to drive away prey or deter the enemy. Therefore, when selecting the name of each battalion in Qingyunbao, Jiao Wentong named this cavalry "Whistle".

Today, three thousand whistling riders have become the ace cavalry in Xishan. Out of trust and respect for Jiao Wentong, Chu Tianya still let Jiao Wentong serve as their leader, and designated the most beautiful piece of water and grass in the castle as the residence of Jiao Wentong.

When Xiao Linglong ran into the Xiaoqi camp, Jiao Wentong had just led a team of guards to return from the shooting range. Xiao Linglong saw Jiao Wentong from afar, just like a bullied little daughter running directly to him when she saw her father, and her face turned red.

Jiao Wentong first saw Xiao Linglong, and then saw Chu Tianya chasing her not far behind her, and suddenly smiled. So he waved his hand to his men to return to the camp first, and he got off the horse and waited in place.

Xiao Linglong immediately jumped out of the horse and ran to Jiao Wentong, "Second brother, he bullied me!"

Jiao Wentong smiled and said, "He should bully you. Do you still want to make trouble?"

"What!" At this time, Xiao Linglong was already like a lively little daughter and said anly, "So, second brother, you don't care about me? Don't you do justice for me?"

"I will take care of anyone who bullies you, but he can't." Jiao Wentong laughed louder, "Have you forgotten who is the biggest in Qingyunbao? ...Haha, calm your anger, calm your anger, you should say so - how can I, an outsider, dare to care about the family affairs of your young couple?

Xiao Linglong stamped her feet angrily and shyly.

At this time, Chu Tianya also rode forward. Jiao Wentong hurried forward two steps and bowed, "Lord!"

"You're welcome, second brother." Chu Tianya jumped off the horse and saluted with a smile. "Princess Xiao took me to practice riding, but I didn't want to bump into my second brother's camp. It's better to come early than to come by coincidence. It's just dinner time - I don't know if there is good wine here?"

"Haha, of course there is!" Jiao Wentong laughed happily, "Master, little sister, please!"

"I'm not ashamed!" Xiao Linglong glanced at Chu Tianya angrily, "How could you cheat to eat and drink like this?"

"Nonsense, don't be unreasonable!" Jiao Wentong scolded like a strict father, "The lord is the lord of Qingyunbao..."

"Oi, I know!" Xiao Linglong was angry and funny and quickly interrupted Jiao Wentong, "In just a while, you have said it seven or eight times!"

"Haha!" Seeing Xiao Linglong's little daughter's behavior, Chu Tianya and Jiao Wentong couldn't help laughing.

"Master, please, I will ask someone to prepare good wine and dishes immediately." Jiao Wentong bent down and worshiped, very respectfully.

Chu Tianya nodded with a smile and said, "Second brother, I have always respected you as a respected elder in Chu's heart. In the future, when it comes to private, you don't have to be so raw and external.

"The Lord is the Lord, and the minister is the minister, and it cannot be surpassed at any time." Jiao Wentong was very serious and still held his fist and said, "My little sister is often unreasonable and unobstructed, and my subordinates will teach her. At any time, the lord can't fall into majesty!"

Chu Tianya nodded helplessly and smiled, "Well, just listen to the second brother. Second brother, this is also for my good, for the sake of the overall situation of Xishan.

"Lord, please!"

Xiao Linglong watched the two of them show the courtesy of the master and minister incisively and vividly like acting. Although they curled their lips with an indifferent look, they were actually happy. She secretly said: It seems that the second brother has indeed untied the knot, and the two of them can also get along well. It should have been like this. Tianya's ambition is ambitious and open-minded, and the second brother is heroic, loyal and righteous. The two of them should have been a typical pair of wise ministers... This is really lucky!

Soon, the three of them sat at the banquet table. Since the Song Dynasty, the meal sharing system inherited by the Han people for many years began to change. Everyone began to sit at the same table to share meals. This habit has been retained to this day. At the same time, the number of seats at the dining table is also strict. For example, today, Jiao Wentong has to let Chu Tianya sit at the "top table".

After three rounds of drinking, the three of them were in a good mood, talking and laughing happily. However, Chu Tianya and Xiao Linglong had a tacit understanding and did not mention "marriage" in front of Jiao Wentong. This kind of thing can be said casually when the two are flirting, but Jiao Wentong is a very serious person and can't joke with him casually. Unless it's time for the media to get married.

"Lord, when I chatted with Bai Shu today, I learned that a large number of gunpowder raw materials will be transferred from Taiyuan to our Qingyunbao after the hot summer. There is also a group of craftsmen who will be transferred from Tokyo, saying that the master wants to build a gunpowder workshop. Jiao Wentong suddenly asked, "I'm very curious. I don't know what this 'Gunpowder Factory' has any effect?"

Chu Tianya put down his glass and smiled slightly and said, "To be honest, I want to develop a batch of new firearms to arm our army and fight against the iron horse of Jurchens in the future."

"New Firearm?" Jiao Wentong's big black face was full of surprise, "What kind of thing is that? Can you fight against the real woman's iron Futu and the abductor?

Chu Tianya thought about it for a moment and didn't know how to state and express it to him, so he said, "Now I can't explain it to you for a while. In a word, I will be the first to let my second brother have a try on how to develop and develop successfully.

"Okay, thank you very much, my lord! I can't wait to open my eyes, haha!" Jiao Wentong is obviously very happy. It's not how much he cares about this 'new firearm' that he has never seen before, but his frankness and trust in Chu Tianya makes him quite useful.

Chu Tianya nodded and smiled, and his face became a little heavy. He said, "With the character of Wanyan Zonghan and the nature of the female real woman, after the battle between the Battle of Taiyuan and Huanglong Valley, the State of Jin is bound to make a comeback this winter. At that time, they will definitely be more fierce and more prepared. The last time it was the enemy, and we played a few tricks to win. This time, Wanyan Zonghan must have come prepared. He will at least vow to take Taiyuan to avenge last year's death. Therefore, despite the fact that our Xishan Mountain is now peaceful and prosperous, in fact, we are facing great potential threats.

"Yes, I also feel this way." Jiao Wentong stroked his face and said thoughtfully, "Last winter, the eldest brother and his subordinates, Xue Yu, Tang Ang and others led their own troops to fight with the cavalry of Wanyan Valley God for several times. Their subordinates found that their cavalry were indeed powerful. It's really difficult to win in a tough way when fighting against the enemy in the field. Even if you win by chance, you will have to pay a considerable price. It is by no means the best strategy to attack each other's strengths with my shortcomings. So, what kind of method should be used to curb the tough cavalry?

Chu Tianya nodded and said, "In addition to the new firearms that have not yet come out, I have asked He Bo and Xue Yu, two swordsmen, to work together to develop a set of actual combat knives suitable for ordinary infantry sergeants when fighting against cavalry."

"Knife? Why not a gun?" Jiao Wentong said in surprise, "Isn't it okay to cut the horse with a hook and sickle gun?"

"We can use a cutting knife." Chu Tianya said, "A few days ago, Zhang Xiaochun gave me a special Shangfang cutting knife from Tokyo Royalware Workshop. The blade is three feet long and the handle is one foot long, which is quite gorgeous and powerful. I think this kind of weapon is actually very practical. It can be fully equipped with a large number of infantry, which is specially used to cut horse legs against cavalry. More than one million gold and iron given to us by the imperial court can be used in a place. Of course, the cutting knife that really uses the battlefield is practical, and it doesn't have to be gorgeous. The new knife method that He Bo and Xue Yu are studying is to adopt the 'Hedong chopping knife' that has been widened, thickened and bent after our own special improvement in Xishan, which is aimed at the iron slaughter float and crutches of the Jin Kingdom.

At this time, Xiao Linglong, who had been silent for a long time, interrupted and said, "Second brother, shooting is much more difficult to practice than knife skills. The old man taught me the style of shooting in the Chu family. I have been practicing hard for so long, but I still don't have much color. How can such a large number of ordinary sergeants proficient in shooting in a short time? Even if it's just a few simple moves.

"Oh, I, a martial arts person, actually ignored this layer. What a shame! No wonder the master repeatedly scolded me, and it was also my fault that I was only greedy for boxing and archery, but I didn't know much about knives and guns. Jiao Wentong nodded suddenly, but suddenly smiled and said, "Little sister, what did you just say - what shooting method?"

"Chu..." Xiao Linglong said a word, and suddenly blushed and stopped talking.

Jiao Wentong stroked his bee and laughed, "It turns out that you have been private for a long time, and you have even learned the family shooting!"

"Where is it! No, obviously not! Absolutely not!" Xiao Linglong was embarrassed, and her face was crimson.

Chu Tianya looked calm and said indifferently with a smile on his face, "Flying Fox, what are you hiding in front of your second brother?"

"You! ..." Seeing his fake and real look, Xiao Linglong was immediately happy, "You two drank too much! I'll ignore you. I'll go back!"

After saying that, she left the table in a hurry, and she was a shy little daughter-in-law.

Jiao Wentong smiled and said meaningfully, "It seems that no matter what kind of woman is, as long as she is emotional, she looks like the same little daughter... Lord, it seems that you and Princess Xiao are not far away. Congratulations!"
