The Emperor is Above

Chapter 91 Where is the Fengtu Hill?
Maosheng and Shuqiubing felt a little embarrassed.

Being used to the euphemisms and subtlety between nobles and ministers, one will always feel uncomfortable when facing young people who like to be straightforward.

After hesitating for a moment, Mao Sheng bowed and said solemnly: "The king directly governs the 500-li area around the capital, and has appointed us, the nobles, to administer it.

In the past, I was a village head, Sergeant Shuqiu was a farmer, and Corporal Kou Rui was a thief. However, you also know that Kou Rui's cultivation was completely destroyed a few days ago.

In this case, you are naturally not qualified to be the thief. There are only three nobles in the entire Maoqiu Pavilion. If your fiefdom is also in Maoqiu Pavilion, then you are most likely to succeed the thief. "

Shuqiu Bing even smiled and said: "Although Corporal B is young, since you can kill the totem warriors of the Blood Wolf Tribe and the beastmaster of the Blood Wolf Tribe, you must be able to take on the job of seeking thieves."

Now Qing Yi understood the purpose of the two men's visit. It turned out that Mao Sheng and Shu Qiu Bing came to show goodwill.

After all, it is still quite impressive for a corporal who is only fifteen years old to be granted a title and whose brilliant military achievements are boasted by Tun Shigu.

However, Qing Yi smiled and shook his head, bowed and said: "Tingzhang and Diannong are too kind. I am just an ignorant boy, how can I be responsible for the duty of a thief?"

"Alas, a man of ambition never ages, and a man of incompetence lives to be a hundred in vain!"

Mao Sheng said in a serious tone, "What Corporal B said is wrong. If you are not qualified to be the Tingqiu Thief, then the king can only appoint an outsider to the position.

Besides, with Sergeant Shuqiu and I recommending you, the chances of you being the thief-seeker are still more than 70%. We all need to work together in the future."

Qing Yi hesitated for a long time without answering. To be honest, he didn't want to be a thief. The title of a corporal was just a starting point, not his goal. He was worried that the duties of a thief would delay his practice.

"Chief, there are a few city guards riding on falcons and other fierce birds outside. They said they were ordered to come and look for you." The militiaman on duty on the corner tower came running over again, his face full of shock and envy.

The militiamen who followed Qing Yi to the capital are all resting today. If they were on duty, they would probably brag and chat for a while when they met the familiar Flying Eagle Guards.

"It must be the Eagle Guards sent by the king!" Qing Yi was immediately excited. Even though he had predicted that there would be news in the next two days, he still couldn't help but say excitedly,
"It should be the location information of my corporal's tomb. Please wait for a moment, Chief of the Pavilion and Diannong. I will go to greet him first."

Mao Sheng and Shu Qiu Bing laughed together and said, "We came at the right time. Since the king's envoy brought good news, we two should also follow him to share in the joy."

Qing Yi didn't care about anything else and walked outside in a hurry.

The Flying Eagle Guard was perhaps afraid that the falcons would hurt ordinary people, so he did not enter the locust tree hill, but landed dozens of feet away and waited.

At first glance, these Eagle Guards are all acquaintances. After all, they are familiar faces who have practiced ball and discussed falcons together for many days. In fact, all 200 people in the Eagle Camp are acquaintances of Yi.

"Hey, little brother Qingyi, we meet again!"

The leading Eagle Guard was the Eagle Camp Sima who had suggested Qing Yi buy falcon eggs for hatching. He first greeted Qing Yi warmly before handing him a heavy box.

"This was sent to the Flying Eagle Camp by someone specially sent by the king, and the camp commander sent me and a few brothers to deliver it to you. By the way, here is a list, and you have to sign a receipt."

Qing Yi signed the receipt, feeling as if he was receiving a courier.

He quickly recovered and said with a smile: "Doctor Yuanmu Shang once told me that the king would send a special envoy. I thought it was a very formal ceremony, but I didn't expect it to be Sima Yan who brought people." "Haha, it should be like that!" The Eagle Guard Sima named Yan laughed, "But isn't the rugby league going to start these few days?

No one wanted to travel so far and delay the competition, so the king finally sent our Flying Eagle Camp as envoys. After all, the round trip only takes one or two hours."

While Sima Yan was speaking, Qing Yi couldn't wait to open the purple-black wooden box sealed with wax, inside which was a leather scroll made of soft animal skin.

Ignoring the dense and difficult-to-understand words, Qing Yi's eyes fell on the name of his corporal title: Guqiu.

"Lonely Hill? What the hell is this place?"

Qing Yi was extremely surprised. Mao Sheng and Shu Qiu Bing were nearby, so he turned around and asked, "Tingzhang and Diannong, have you ever heard that there is a solitary hill in Maoqiu Pavilion?"

"Guqiu?" Shuqiubing and Maosheng looked at each other in surprise.

Shuqiu Bing spoke first with a puzzled look on his face: "I have lived in Maoqiuting for decades and have never heard of the place name Guqiu."

Qing Yi was about to ask Sima Yan, but Mao Sheng said thoughtfully: "Don't worry, Corporal Yi. Generally, the location of the burial mound will have a very detailed location. You can read it carefully for an explanation."

So Qing Yi read the document of conferring a title carefully, and finally found a line of words: "For military merit, Shang Shu Yi was conferred a title as a lower-ranking officer, and his fiefdom was located in a lonely hill fifteen miles west of Jiming Lake, with a fiefdom of one mile square..."

"hiss--"

Shuqiu Bing was the first to be surprised and said, "The Jiming Lake is mostly a barren land of ponds and swamps, and there is no one living within more than 50 miles.

Why would the king send you to such a remote place? Even if it is not in Maoqiu Pavilion, it should not be too far away. Did you offend someone, Corporal Yi?"

Mao Sheng pondered, "Lonely Hill? Fifteen miles west of Jiming Lake? I remember there is a high hill one hundred miles east of our Maoqiu Pavilion.

There is only one nameless high hill in the area of ​​dozens of miles along the western side of Jiming Lake. Could it be that this is the solitary hill where the fief of Shishi Yi was granted?"

"Brother Qingyi, before I came here, I heard from the captain that your fiefdom has been disputed for a long time in the court. In theory, the king has the final say in the capital.

However, due to the relocation of the city guard camp, the king had to give in to several senior and junior ministers, and the location of the fief was chosen by Junior Minister Chunyu Fen. "

The Flying Eagle Camp Sima surnamed Yan said with some sympathy in his eyes,
“It is said that the king originally planned to name it Xuanyuan Hill to honor your contribution in inventing the sleigh, but Xuanyuan Hill was related to the ancient emperor after all, so it was unanimously opposed by all the ministers.

Later, the king thought that this place was located at the easternmost part of the capital, and planned to name it Dongfangqiu. However, the ministers rejected this name because they took into account that this place was not the easternmost part of Xing State after all.

Finally, considering that this hill is the only solitary hill within dozens of miles, it was named Solitary Hill. "

Everyone looked at Qing Yi with sympathy. Just a corporal being granted a title had attracted the attention of so many senior and junior ministers. Having offended so many senior and junior ministers, his life would be difficult in the future.

Qing Yi was silent for a long time while holding the seal document. Just when everyone thought he was going to explode, he suddenly smiled and shook his head and said, "It's a pity to use the surnames Xuanyuan and Dongfang, but Guqiu is not bad either. From now on, I will be Guqiu Yi!"
