Warlock Toxic General Please Control Yourself

Chapter 143
Hehe, Tian Li is quite frank, not hypocritical at all!
Ji Ziqi appreciated it in his heart, and jokingly said: "I heard that there are many beauties in Linxianju, junior sister and a woman, won't it spoil your interest if you go there!"

"Haha, it seems that Junior Sister Ji knows a thing or two about this Linxianju!" Tian Li winked at her, "Anyway, this Linxianju can't escape, if any senior brother takes a fancy to one of the famous actresses, next time he will Just go!"

When it came to this point, it would be unreasonable to evade, not to mention that she has a good impression of Tian Li and the others, so it doesn't hurt to have more contacts.

Ji Ziqi smiled and said: "Success! Senior Brother Tian made an appointment, and Junior Sister will definitely attend the appointment!"

"Okay, refreshing!" Tian Li said cheerfully, "I don't know if Junior Sister Ji's fiancé, General Du, is free. If so, please ask Junior Sister to speak for him. We also want to ask him to go together, and thank you in person!"

Speaking of Du Feng, Ji Ziqi's expression was a little dark, "There is a change in Xiqiang, and he went to the Northland!"

Tian Li had just returned to the capital, and he didn't know that Du Feng went to Tianshui in the north.

Seeing her expression, I knew that I said something I shouldn't have said, and I was a little annoyed, so I turned back to the topic of getting together, "I heard that Linxianju is very popular, so I will make a reservation today, and I can make a reservation for any date." Go to Kecheng?"

Ji Ziqi smiled and said: "Success! Everything is arranged by Senior Brother Tian!"

After returning to Jiang's mansion in the evening, Ji Ziqi went to Master Jiang's study, wanting to report to him the progress of today's rectification of the Sorcerer's Association.

Master Jiang was in a very sour mood tonight. Originally, when he met Mr. Lin at court today and saw his complacent expression, he was very angry.

Later, when leaving the palace, I accidentally saw a little palace lady passing by carrying a food box, and I don't know which noble person she was delivering food to.

Immediately, he had an idea, pretending to speak loudly to himself: "Last night after Xiaoxue went back, she personally spent two hours stewing a bowl of mung bean and lotus seed soup for the old man to make supper.

Ouch, that girl is really filial. She stewed lotus seeds first, and then cooked mung beans. She also said that when mung beans are just boiled, they have the best heat-clearing and detoxifying effects, and are most suitable for drinking in summer.

Only a little sugar and ice are added. The old man is old, so it should not be too sweet or too cold, and be careful to hurt the stomach.

Tsk tsk, thinking about it now, the old man feels sweet in his heart, and the mung bean paste in the morning, that soft and glutinous, is a hundred times better than the best cook in the capital!
Ouch, when I go back tonight, I don't know if this girl will cook something delicious to be filial to my husband? "

Mr. Lin was secretly pleased because Ji Ziqi agreed to go to the household department to check the general ledger.

I thought to myself, this is to check the general ledger at first, and as I get used to it gradually, it will definitely not be a problem for her to help think of some ideas to enrich the treasury.

Moreover, Mr. Jiang originally thought that with his proximity to the water, he could dominate Xiaoxue alone and contribute to the Sorcerers Association.

Now he still snatched a third of it, presumably the old man was furious secretly.

He was in a very happy mood, but after hearing what Master Jiang deliberately said to him, his heart suddenly became sour.

Hearing the end, he couldn't help gnashing his teeth and said, "Master Jiang, Xiaoxue is so talented, you actually let her work as a cook?"

Master Jiang had been talking alone for so long, he was waiting for Master Lin to start talking, and he said immediately: "Master Lin's words are wrong, the juniors should be filial, we are elders, there is no reason to stop us, right?

Besides, Mr. Lin, you also know Xiaoxue's ability, not to mention just spending two hours cooking supper, even if you spend most of the day preparing dinner, it won't delay the serious business, right?
Mr. Lin, you have no confidence in Xiaoxue, but I have great confidence in my great-granddaughter! "

Master Lin was so blocked that his blood flowed backwards. Great-granddaughter, great-granddaughter, isn't Ji Xiaoxue my great-granddaughter?
Hmph, why are you showing off?Lao Tzu not only has great-granddaughters, but also great-grandsons and great-granddaughters!

Master Lin thought about it carefully, and found that his oldest great-granddaughter was only four years old this year, and when she was old enough to cook for him, he might have already returned to dust.

Master Lin felt even more depressed when he thought about it. After returning to the Lin Mansion, he called his three sons and married grandson to him, and scolded him bloody!

I thought to myself, what's the use of having a son?I don't even cook a meal for myself for supper!
Don't know how to cook supper, don't even know how to give birth to a baby girl!A bunch of useless bastards!

All the men in the Lin family who were scolded for no reason didn't know what was wrong with the ancestors of the Lin family. Why did the temper become more and more strange as they got older?
But except for Lin Hanxuan, the rest of the people followed the rules and did not dare to ask questions. They all looked at Lin Hanxuan, the great master of the Lin family.

But recently, Lin Hanxuan was both emotional and excited because of the fact that the Ji family was willing to forgive him.

If you scold, just scold, he turns a deaf ear, just pretend he is singing!

Master Jiang didn't know what happened in Lin's mansion that night after Master Lin returned to the mansion.

But when he parted from the ashen-faced Master Lin at the gate of the palace, he felt as if he had flown into the sky and felt extremely comfortable.

So when Ji Ziqi came to the study, what he saw was the smiling Master Jiang who was completely different from before.

She couldn't help asking: "Grandpa, seeing you are so happy, is there anything good?"

"It's okay, Grandpa is just happy." Master Jiang felt even better when he saw her, and said with a smile, "Xiaoxue, come to find Grandpa, but do you want to discuss the rectification of the Artisan Association?"

"Yes, my lord." Ji Ziqi told Master Jiang one by one what Master Gu had said in the Artisan Association today, as well as his own suggestions.

When it came to business, Master Jiang's complexion turned normal, and he nodded while listening to what Ji Ziqi said.

After Ji Ziqi finished talking about his thoughts, he was like an ancient master, with agitated emotions in his heart and agitated expression on his face, "Xiaoxue, your idea is very novel, my grandfather needs to think it over carefully, and I will reply to you in two days." ?”

"Okay, Grandpa, tell Xiaoxue what you think and see in two days!" When Ji Ziqi was about to leave, Master Jiang suddenly said quietly:
"Xiaoxue, the weather is too hot these days, and my grandfather is feeling very stuffy, what can you do?"

"Master, what's wrong with you? But you have sunstroke?" Ji Ziqi was startled, and asked concerned: "Why don't you ask a doctor to come back and show you?"

The weather this year is indeed abnormal. It was raining heavily in the south before, but after the rain stopped, it started to become very hot, which really made people feel uncomfortable.

Especially the elderly, who are already in poor health. In such a climate, if they are a little careless, although they will not be sick, they will definitely feel very uncomfortable.

"If you are not sick or in pain, what kind of doctor is the most taboo!" Master Jiang smacked his tongue and said, "My lord saw that the mung bean and lotus seed soup you cooked last night is very good.

It's almost the same, if you occasionally cook some for Grandpa to try, the summer heat in your body will surely dissipate. "

After Ji Ziqi heard the words, he couldn't laugh or cry, it turned out that Master Jiang tried to make her cook supper in a different way!
People say Lao Bao Lao Bao, if there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, it seems that this is true. I didn't expect Master Jiang to have such a cute side!
She was amused in her heart, and replied obediently: "Okay, my lord. I will cook some for you in two days. As long as you don't dislike Xiaoxue's poor cooking skills, Xiaoxue will make you some new things when she is free." How about trying it?"

Master Jiang was so happy that he could not close his mouth from ear to ear, and nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, as long as you cook it, my grandfather will love it!

However, don't delay the business, and don't tire yourself, ah! "

Ji Ziqi said crisply: "Yes, my lord, Xiaoxue knows how to measure."

According to the agreement, the next day was to go to the Ministry of War.

Marshal Du had already left for the southwest yesterday, so Du Le took Ji Ziqi there directly.

Master Cui, Secretary of the Ministry of War, heard that Ji Xiaoxue from the Sorcerer Association had arrived, so he hurriedly got up to greet her.

He was slightly older than Marshal Du, with an ordinary appearance and a bit of bookishness, which was quite different from Ji Ziqi's imagination that the Minister of the Ministry of War should be as mighty as a general on the battlefield.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, Ji Ziqi realized that he had made a mistake.

"Xiaoxue, welcome, I'm looking forward to you!" Master Cui smiled all over his face, "I and your future father-in-law, Marshal Du, have been friends for many years and are considered brothers.

If you don't mind, just call me Uncle Cui!This invites you to come, half public and half private, and there is no formality! "

Since ancient times, being an official requires two mouths. There are so many generals in the Li country, and the Yang family army and the Wei family army are as famous as the Du family army.

The Minister of the Ministry of War not only needs to be able to get along with the courtiers, but also needs an eloquent mouth.

To make the generals of the world not to mention submitting, but at least willing to obey orders, requires another mouth full of pride.

People in the army have always been straightforward, if they disagree, they will meet on the drill ground, and if they disagree, they will beat you until they agree.

If a person with this kind of temperament becomes the minister of the Ministry of War, it will be a catastrophe for the entire Li army.

This Master Cui does not look amazing, but he has been able to hold the position of Minister of the Ministry of War for more than ten years, and these two skills must not be weak.

Ji Ziqi was admired in his heart, and even more respectful on his face, "Then Xiaoxue will follow Uncle Cui's words."

Master Cui was also taken aback for a moment, he had heard of Ji Ziqi's name a long time ago, and he admired her ability very much.

I just thought that she was always a delicate little lady, and thought that she would be a bit feminine when she said and acted.

It was somewhat beyond his expectation to answer him so straightforwardly.

He looked carefully at the two eyes, the eyes of the woman in front of him were smiling, the eyes flashed with aura, her demeanor was neither humble nor overbearing, and the heroic spirit between her brows set her apart from others.

Master Cui secretly said hello, this Changqing is blessed, he gave birth to a brave man Du Feng who is even better than him, and married such a beautiful wife, I am afraid that he will not have to worry about it for the rest of his life.

Seeing her bright and cheerful temper, Master Cui stopped being too polite, and directly got to the point, "Your future father-in-law, Marshal Du, has already told you the reason why uncle invited you here.

Then uncle will stop trembling, if you have time today, let’s talk about how to avoid the method of throwing stones from the trebuchet!

The trebuchets of the Ministry of Industry have been shipped to various battlefields one after another. In addition to Xiqiang, it is presumed that within two years, other enemy countries will imitate them.

This army must master the method of evasion as soon as possible to seize the opportunity! "

"Okay, Uncle Cui!" Ji Ziqi said: "Then let's go to the shooting practice field to verify it first."

According to Ji Ziqi's request, the Ministry of War prepared a trebuchet and several human-shaped straw targets.

Those in charge of the trebuchet were a few veterans who had practiced for a long time, so there was no need to worry that the stone would fall into the courtyard of the Ministry of War.

Ji Ziqi glanced at the posture of the veteran who was operating, and silently calculated for a while, then turned his head to Du Le and said, "Put the humanoid target 100 meters away from here."

Du Le immediately complied, and after putting it in the position designated by Ji Ziqi, he looked back at Ji Ziqi to confirm whether there was a mistake.

Ji Ziqi nodded, and he backed away.

Because it was an experiment, the stones used were not very large. After Du Le placed the human-shaped grass target, Ji Ziqi said to the veteran who was operating: "It's done."

The veteran immediately let go, and saw the stone flying across the air, flying past everyone's eyes, and everyone's eyes moved quickly following the arc of the stone's flight.

Then, with a bang, the stone hit the human-shaped straw target, punching a hole in its chest.

A group of people who watched were stunned.

They have verified the power of the trebuchet many times, but they are all practiced in the open space, and they have never tried to hit an object.

They always only measure the distance of the shot after the shot is finished, whether it is consistent with the expectation, and then distribute different quantities to different battlefields according to the needs.

Seeing the result of the trebuchet hitting an object for the first time, everyone couldn't help covering their chests. If they were hit, they would have died on the spot.

However, that wasn't what shocked them the most.

The most shocking thing was that Ji Xiaoxue knew exactly where the stone would fall just by looking at it. Could it be a coincidence?

But if it's a coincidence, it's too coincidental!

Before everyone recovered from their trance, the second round of testing began again.

This time I changed to a different type of trebuchet, which was larger than the previous one, and the stones used were slightly heavier.

Ji Ziqi pushed Du Le who was in a daze, "Du Le, Du Le, put it 150 meters away from there."

Du Le woke up with a start, hurriedly closed his slightly opened mouth, glanced at Ji Ziqi with a little complexity, and put the humanoid grass target on the designated position as he said.

Then, again, everyone witnessed with their own eyes that the stone hit the human-shaped grass target and punched a hole in its chest.

Three times in a row, three different types of trebuchets, three different operators, and the humanoid grass targets placed according to Ji Ziqi's instructions were all hit.

Then, conversely, if someone is standing there, as long as the voice is reminded, the crowd will immediately disperse, wouldn't it be possible to successfully avoid the risk?

Everyone looked at Ji Ziqi in unison, their eyes filled with awe.

Ji Ziqi's expression was not as excited as everyone expected, but frowned with deep worry.

In front of all his subordinates, Master Cui barely controlled his excited expression, "Xiaoxue, as long as you learn this method, even if the opponent has a trebuchet, our soldiers in Li Kingdom can successfully avoid it?"

Ji Ziqi shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Xiaoxue thought so before, but just now, during the projection process, Xiaoxue suddenly discovered that this can only solve a temporary problem. Only useful on the battlefield.

If the opponent's trebuchets are sent to the battlefield in large numbers, intensively projecting, there are long distances and short distances, left and right, fast and slow, where to avoid?

And in the process of dodging, they may collide with their comrades at any time, which will cause confusion in the team. "

Hearing this, everyone who was still excited just now fell into the bottom of their hearts and fell into deep thought.

Yes, on the battlefield, how can it be so simple, just use a trebuchet to deal with you, and there must be a large number of them.

At that time, it will definitely be like Ji Ziqi said, intensive projection, so how to avoid it?

The excitement in Master Cui's heart turned to worry at this moment, he said to Ji Ziqi: "Xiaoxue, do you have any idea?"

Ji Ziqi shook his head, "Xiaoxue just thought of this question, so there is no more comprehensive idea yet.

Xiaoxue needs some time to think about it carefully, and asks Uncle Cui and other adults to provide suggestions. "

-

The worry in Ji Ziqi's heart was also Du Feng's worry. After receiving Ji Ziqi's letter, he called the generals of the battalions that night to inform the generals of the battalions that Xiqiang had received the catapult manufacturing plan.

And after seeing Ji Ziqi's plan in the letter, he immediately realized that the problem was much more than that.

Although Ji Ziqi went to the Tianliang battlefield, he had no actual combat experience.

When she knew that Du Feng was going to the north to fight against Xiqiang who had just received the catapult plan, the first thing she thought of was how to avoid the stones thrown by the catapult.

What Du Feng thought was that the battlefield was unpredictable. Instead of finding a way to avoid this danger, it is better to take the initiative to attack in advance.

Before the opponent has produced a destructive weapon such as the trebuchet, launch an attack first, give the opponent a head-on blow, seize the opportunity, and form a deterrent to the Western Qiang enemy.

If they meet again in the future, the defeat in this war will cast a shadow in their hearts, so they dare not attack easily.

In this way, the Ministry of War and Ji Ziqi, who were far away in the capital, had more time to come up with a more comprehensive strategy to deal with the catapult.

Du Feng's suggestion was unanimously approved by the generals of each battalion.

Except for the soldiers stationed at Tianliang, [-]% of the soldiers who came to Tianshui City on the border of Xiqiang this time were drawn from the Yang family army and Wei family army, and [-]% were recruits.

It can be said that apart from [-]% of the recruits, this is a group of soldiers with very experience in killing enemies on the battlefield, but at the same time, it is also a group of veterans who have not yet gotten used to it.

This kind of untrained veteran is slightly inferior to the newly recruited recruit, and its internal destructive power is hundreds of times greater.

Du Feng, as a temporary general, led these [-] veterans, among whom there were certainly many who were dissatisfied.

On his first day in the army, there was a fight.

The two factions fighting belonged to the Yang family army and the Wei family army respectively. Du Feng received a report from his attendants that hundreds of people from each of the two armies had joined the melee.

According to military regulations, those who fight in private will be dealt with in accordance with military law. If it is serious, it will be beheaded in public, and if it is light, it will be two hundred with military sticks.

Du Feng had just arrived in the army, if he beheaded him, he would definitely chill the hearts of soldiers from both armies;

If they were punished with military sticks, these soldiers would have been veterans for a long time, and hitting the body with military sticks was no different from hitting the body with brooms. After ten and a half months, the skin would still be very itchy if they were not beaten twice.

Of course, there is another unwritten but very practical way to establish prestige in the military: the general personally joins the melee and fights with the troublemaker for [-] rounds, until the opponent cries and begs for mercy until he is honest. !
Generally speaking, if there is a private fight during wartime, the leader will be beheaded for public display, and no one will object;
If there is a private fight during the truce, if the general is a very senior general, most of them will punish the troublemakers with military sticks;

If the general is a junior general, ninety-nine out of ten will use fists to tame troublemakers.

Most of the people in the army have been in the army for ten or twenty years or more, and it took Du Feng nearly four years to become a general and civilian.

For Tian Shui, he was a general who had only been here for a day.

Therefore, the troublemakers from the two armies all thought that Du Fengfeng would choose the third option, and they all secretly geared up to compete with the new General Du.

Although Du Feng was considered tall and burly, compared with a group of men who looked like iron towers in the army, he immediately became a handsome scholar.

In addition, because of Ji Ziqi's relationship, it has become a habit to shave his beard on his face, revealing a handsome face, standing among a group of rough men with thick skin and thick faces, it is indeed a bit different.

Therefore, both soldiers wanted to give this new weak general a little bit of trouble.

After all, in the army, what is more convincing is not the title, not the seniority, but the fist, and the ruthlessness when killing the enemy.

Du Feng had been to the Southwest twice and also to the East, and he had a very good relationship with many officers in the Yang Family Army and the Wei Family Army.

However, I don't know whether it was his bad luck or the bad luck of the soldiers sent this time. The leading generals happened to be a group that he was not familiar with.

Du Feng, who is well-behaved and secretive in the army, naturally knows, but he has no intention of following anyone's wishes.

He stood there and ordered lightly: "Du Kang, go and invite the generals and commanders of the two battalions to come over!"

Du Kang took the order to go, and after a while, the generals of the two battalions and the commander of the commander brought him.

Du Feng bowed his hands and said: "General Lu, General Zhu, this general arrived at the camp on the first day today, and there was a fight in the army. I wonder how the two generals think about this matter?"

General Lu said with a deep voice: "Military law is like a mountain, and you can deal with it as you want. The final general will definitely obey his orders!"

General Zhu, who had a big mole on his eyebrow, said: "Everything is at the disposal of the general, and the general will never complain!"

"Very good, since the two generals have no opinion, then this general will decide." Du Feng's tone was very normal, but what he said was beyond everyone's expectations:
"Tonight, the whole army, no matter the recruits or veterans, no matter the general or the attendants, including this general, the Food and Grass Administration and the military doctor, will practice for an extra three hours!"

"All? Everyone?" General Zhu exclaimed.

"Does General Zhu have any objections?" The corners of Du Feng's mouth curled up in a half-smile.

The two generals immediately fell silent, they said just now that everything is up to the generals, and they must obey orders without any complaints, so they changed their words immediately, didn't they just slap themselves in the face?
People in the army are the ones who hold their promises the most, if they renege on their promises in front of their subordinates, how can they convince them in the future?

Under the resentment of a group of people, Tianshui's 10,000+ soldiers plus all the battalion people started additional training.

After four hours of drills during the day, many soldiers were already exhausted, and then they were dragged out of bed and said that they would practice for an additional three hours, and one by one began to scold their mothers.

As a result, many people ran and fell down, and the hands of many people who swung their knives made the hands of their guns tremble, and they almost cut themselves and poked their companions.

Especially the Food and Grass Administration and the military doctors. These people had no training, they secretly gritted their teeth, and secretly hated those troublemakers.

If you guys didn't want to give the new General Du a blow, and intentionally cause trouble, we would be implicated and suffer this kind of crime?
On the second day, those troublemakers had less food, and the brothers who usually made a fuss avoided and became the objects of isolation.

Although those people held grudges against Du Feng in their hearts, Du Kang was also very dissatisfied with Du Feng's handling, "Master, why don't you just go on stage, beat those people to the ground, and beg for mercy?

Not only is that not the case, on the contrary, the whole army is being punished together, which will make everyone complain about you, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public in the future! "

Du Feng said: "The disturbance of these people is just the beginning, if I go on stage and beat up a few people, this kind of farce will continue to emerge one after another.

Although private fights can be big or small, but in non-combat times, it has always been a common practice in the army, that is, to fight with two hundred army sticks.

Do you think those people care about two hundred batons?I am new to Tianshui, and there are many people who are not convinced, so I can't waste my time on such trivial matters!
Everyone in the army was punished, maybe some people would blame me in their hearts, but most people would definitely blame the troublemakers.

Although this move is not convincing to the public, it can stop the intentional fights and prevent unintentional fights from being reported to me, and they will solve them privately.

This way, I will be able to concentrate more on rectifying military affairs, conquering the morale of the army, and deploying the army. "

But before he had time to do anything, he received a letter from Ji Ziqi the next day. It was time for this group of soldiers who were full of conflicts to go to the battlefield to be tested.

Time was running out and there was no room for overthinking. Du Feng expressed his thoughts to several generals.

Although several generals have their own dissatisfaction, they are not narrow-minded people.

Knowing the importance of matters, and now is not the time to be impulsive, they unanimously agreed to Du Feng's suggestion: choose another day to take the initiative to attack Xiqiang, and catch him by surprise.

The generals were full of confidence, but Du Feng was deeply worried.

He knew Ji Ziqi's ability, he had never seen her be afraid of anyone or anything.

But since she even expressed deep concern for Xi Liemo, he must not underestimate this person.

Two days later, the Tianshui army took the initiative to launch an attack on Xiqiang. The northern land was vast and endless, and it was the most difficult to hide their whereabouts. However, in case they were surrounded, it was also the most difficult to break out.

Before departure, Du Feng strictly ordered that the purpose of this attack was only to deter the Western Qiang army, buy time for the rear, and never allow them to penetrate into the enemy's camp.

However, when he finally gave the order to retreat, the battalion commander who rushed to the forefront of the Yang family army acted as if he had never heard the military order, and proceeded without authorization.

As soon as he moved, several battalion commanders continued to rush forward, and tens of thousands of people rushed into the depths of the enemy camp.

Du Feng, who was in the rear of the army, immediately ordered everyone to stand by, and sent General Chen from Tianliang to chase those ten thousand people with three thousand Tianliang soldiers.

And ordered it to stop those ten thousand people from moving forward, and if they violated it, they would be executed immediately!

But it was still a step too late. The previous 1 people, together with the later 3000 people, had been surrounded by Xiqiang people and slaughtered like sheep.

The news could not be delivered, and Du Feng, who stayed where he was, realized that something was wrong, and immediately mobilized the whole army to come forward to rescue.

As a result, the first battle between the Tianshui Li army and the Western Qiang enemy army, which had a huge advantage, ended in a draw.

Both sides suffered heavy losses, each losing tens of thousands of troops.

Originally, he wanted to give the opponent a heavy blow, but because of a battalion commander of the Yang family army, he gave the opponent the opportunity to strike back heavily.

The worst result still appeared.

After returning to the barracks, Du Feng drew his sword without hesitation, and personally beheaded the battalion commander, and demoted the rest of the battalion commanders who rushed forward and violated the order to the rank of leader.

Holding up his bloody long sword, he announced loudly: "From today onwards, there will be no Yang family army, Wei family army, or Tianliang army in the army! From now on, these 12 soldiers will be collectively called the Tianshui army!"

Act in accordance with the new instructions and slogans in a unified manner. Anyone who violates the law will be dealt with by military law! "

The only advantage of this battle is that the former soldiers of the various armies who were hit hard never dared to act rashly again.

Du Feng reported the battle to the imperial court in its entirety, and finally wrote: "Although this active offensive ended in a draw, it can be seen that Xiqiang has already made secret preparations for fighting or even launching a war.

Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible to launch a counterattack so quickly under the sudden attack of our army.Xiqiang has been recharging its energy for many years, and its military strength is unfathomable, definitely more than the previously known 15 troops.

I have sent spies to investigate in secret. Tianshui is far away, and Xiqiang sons are ambitious. I am afraid that the 12 troops will not be able to cope with it. Please send [-] troops to reinforce it first!
The five hundred trebuchets that were originally shipped to Tianliang, please add another five hundred. "

Ji Ziqi and Du Feng's worries became true. Tianshui is far away from the capital, but Xiqiang is not far from here.

If the whole country of Xiqiang devoted all their efforts to making trebuchets, the Tianshui Army would not be able to do anything good.

Ji Ziqi, who is far away in the capital, has not yet known all these things that happened in Tianshui.

On the third day, she went to the household department.

Unlike in the past when he saw her always smiling, today's Hubu Shangshu Lin-sama has a more sad expression.

"Master, are you feeling unwell?" Ji Ziqi asked.

"Oh, my grandfather is in a bad mood." Master Lin said in a low tone.

Ji Ziqi asked with concern: "Have you seen the doctor? What did the doctor say?"

Master Lin sighed: "What's the use of seeing a doctor? This is a heart attack, my lord."

heart disease?Ji Ziqi looked at him suspiciously.

Master Lin said quietly: "Who said Grandpa doesn't have a great-granddaughter who can cook supper by his side, and no one cares about Grandpa's mood!"

Ji Ziqi choked, and suddenly understood, and continued, somewhat dumbfounded.

Master Lin, does this mean you are competing for favor with Master Jiang?

Master Lin saw that she was silent, and continued to complain: "Xiaoxue, my great-granddaughter is only four years old now, I am afraid that my great-grandfather will not be able to enjoy the filial piety of her great-granddaughter in this lifetime."

Where is it all?Ji Ziqi couldn't help but three black lines appeared on his forehead.

It's okay for the two of them to let her solve the problems of the Artisan Association and the general account of the household department first, but now they even want to grab supper?
Ji Ziqi sighed and looked at Master Lin helplessly.

But Sui Zhilin's expression was even more sad, with the image of a lonely old man who was abandoned.

Ji Ziqi was angry and funny, so he could only coax him loudly: "Master, when Xiaoxue comes back in three days, can I bring you the lotus seed soup cooked by Xiaoxue herself?"

"Okay, okay! As long as it's cooked by Xiaoxue, my grandfather will definitely like it!" Master Lin smiled immediately, and then urged, "But Xiaoxue, don't tire yourself out, ah!"

But in his heart he secretly said proudly, Mr. Jiang, why are you so proud, my great-granddaughter also cooked mung bean and lotus seed soup for me.

Master Lin personally brought her to the household department, and the people in the household department did not dare to neglect her.

He took her to a room and said respectfully: "All the account books over the years are in this room. Please feel free, Miss Ji. If you need to ask about the lower officials, please feel free to ask questions."

Ji Ziqi thanked him and pushed away from the room.

I was taken aback by the densely packed ledgers inside, maybe it had been closed for a long time, and there was a strong smell of dust.

Ji Ziqi went in and browsed through each shelf.

Even though the year is divided, the account books of the past ten years still account for more than half of the room.

So much, what year and month do you want to see?Ji Ziqi had a headache.

The point is, although it is mainly about the funds for disaster relief, it is certainly not possible to see the problem just by looking at this aspect. If it is so simple, when will she look at it?
She couldn't figure it out for a while, so she could only read each book slowly to see if she could find the connection between the problems.

When he came out at night, Ji Ziqi's eyes were already dim.

After returning to Jiang's Mansion, Master Jiang wanted to chat with her a little more, but seeing that she was extremely tired, he simply said: "Your idea that day is worth a try, you can go ahead and implement it!"

After going to bed early in the evening and having a good night's sleep, Ji Ziqi regained his energy.

It's good to be young!She sighed in her heart.

When Du Le drove the carriage to the Magicians Association, Master Gu had been waiting early in the morning.

As soon as he saw her, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Xiaoxue, your suggestion that day was discussed with Master Lu and others.

The mountain of the Sorcerer's Association is now tilted. Instead of relying on the strength of a few people to contend, it is better to establish a new system and rebuild the foundation of the Sorcerer's Association as you said. "

Ji Ziqi said: "Okay, master, let's go in and talk slowly."

Master Gu said hello, and said to Fan Tong outside the door: "Fan Tong, go invite Master Lu over here!"

"Yes!" Fan Tong clapped his hands in response, turned around and left.

"Master, do you need to call Senior Brother Yang together?" Ji Ziqi asked.

Master Gu said: "The eldest prince asked someone to deliver a message this morning, saying that he might have caught heat and feel unwell, so he won't be coming today!"

"Oh!" Ji Ziqi originally thought that Yang Cheng had gone to Wuya Hall, so he asked this question.

She remembered that after she promised Tian Li to go to Linxianju together two days ago, Tian Li strongly invited Li Yuan to go to Linxianju together, probably his enthusiasm frightened Li Yuan.

Tian Li sent someone to deliver a message yesterday, saying that a guest who had an appointment today at Linxianju temporarily canceled the appointment, and the shopkeeper gave him the extra private room as an appointment, and he can go there after noon today.

Everyone only received the news yesterday. It is estimated that Tian Li told Li Yuan that he couldn't evade it, so he used the excuse of being unwell.

To say that Ji Ziqi really wronged Li Yuan.

Although Li Yuan was not sick when he fell ill, it was true that he felt unwell.

He has been listless for many days, and he can't even remember when it started.

It seems that after returning to the capital from Southern Qin Dynasty, it seems that it was in Xiangxi, or earlier.

However, no matter when it started, the source of all this seems to point to one person, Ji Ziqi.
