Your Majesty the Empress, I am really not a traitor!

"Miss is a good person. When I first came to the house, she often liked to follow me. If there is anything she likes, she is willing to share with me."

Ling Yan said with a smile.

The brothers and sisters of the Qin family have always been close to her like a family, no matter when they are. Even though she knows her identity and status, Lingyan still regards them as her own family.

"Servant? Have you ever seen a servant get along with the master like this?"

Qin Ji looked at Lingyan and teased.

He really has no airs about Lingyan, to the extent that sometimes outsiders who are not familiar with him think that Lingyan is his wife.

"That's why I respect the young master."

"Well, I like to hear what you say, so talk more."

While enjoying himself, Qin Ji looked at the various routes on the map, and then gesticulated on them.

"Master, if there is a war in the future, how do you plan to arrange Miss?"

"Just put her by my side." Qin Ji said.

"Won't it be dangerous?"

Lingyan asked.It's not that she is worried about Qin Ji, but mainly because Qin Ji is the commander, and his command camp cannot be too far from the front line. If Xia Yuxiao is placed next to Qin Ji, it means that she will be close to the front line.

"If you don't keep it by my side, it will only be more dangerous."

Qin Ji knew very well that the opponent would probably know about his expedition this time.

King An of the empire came to the west, which was bad news for the enemy - so far, the most famous generals of the Great Xia are General Bai and Qin Ji.If it is converted into the grading method of Qin Ji's world, basically in the eyes of the enemy, he and General Bai are Daxia's t0 level.

The opponent may not be able to find any breakthrough on his side, so they will probably do things that don't talk about martial arts -- for example, go to sneak attack and grab hostages.

Qin Siyue is very likely to become a hostage.Therefore, Qin Ji had to bring her by his side.After arriving in Daxi Kingdom, fighting against the enemy is basically using Daxi Kingdom as the rear. Who knows if there will be a few fanatics of the Holy Bishop in Daxi Kingdom? But it's big.

Only these great Xia soldiers around him are worthy of trust.Especially when Lingyan is next to her.

................................

In the study room, a sumptuous dinner was set up.

There are more than [-] dishes, including many delicacies from mountains and seas, which are exquisitely cooked and amazing.

And these twenty dishes are only prepared for two people.

"Moloer, look, today's banquet was made by a cook I just recruited from the people. Up to now, I have never tasted his craftsmanship in the palace. I just tasted it with you today— —You’re welcome, eat whatever you like.”

Xia Yuxiao sat relaxed and naturally on her main seat, as if she was entertaining her own brother with enthusiasm.

"I am grateful to Your Majesty for your kindness."

Morol, chief of the Solqin tribe, saluted respectfully.

He studied the traditional etiquette of Daxia. As a tribal chief in the northwest, although he seemed a little blunt, at least he had sincerity.

"Songyao, pour him wine."

Under her order, Liu Songyao poured a full glass of wine for Moloer.

"I've heard before that the Suolqin tribe has grown a lot after Kalashige was granted to you, Suolqin?" Xia Yuxiao picked up a piece of meat, looked up at Moloer on the opposite side, and then softly asked.

"Thanks to Your Majesty's kindness, since His Majesty bestowed the Kara Shige to my tribe, the tribe has indeed grown, and people and animals are thriving."

"It hasn't been long since Kara Shige was granted to you. I can understand that the days are getting better, but it's too early to add words, right?" Xia Yuxiao asked curiously.

"Your Majesty, you are joking. No matter how fast we are, we can't have more children so quickly. Now the increase in tribes is mostly the population of some surrounding tribes—Kala Shige is rich in water and grass, which can support many people. Nearby Some of the refugees who were persecuted by other tribes came to our tribe hoping to settle down."

"It's a good thing to increase the population, but you must remember that you must take care of the acceptance of new tribe members."

"Yes, I will bear in mind His Majesty's instruction."

"I granted you Kala Shige because your Suolqin tribe has always been loyal to the imperial court. Besides, the people of your tribe are tough and brave. Ma Zhuang. Oh yes, there are also children, next year I will see if the newly born children of the Suolqin tribe are all white and fat."

"Your Majesty is so benevolent and virtuous. The children of my Suo Leqin tribe will be healthy and strong. Next year, I will definitely bring the children to have an audience with you, so as to gain some honor from Your Majesty."

"Okay, I'll wait," Xia Yuxiao laughed, and then pushed the plate of beef in front of Moloer, "Eat more."

"Your Majesty's grace is something I will never forget. From now on, the Suolqin tribe will obey His Majesty's orders more faithfully."

Moore said so.

Xia Yuxiao paused for a moment, then nodded with a smile:

"I've said that, I'm satisfied if you live a good life, and I don't have any other requirements for you, as long as you are safe and well. However, if you have to say it, I really need your help recently."

The chief of the Suolqin tribe, Morore, was stunned when he heard this.

Ah this.

The deer tendon in my hand suddenly loses its fragrance...

Chapter 97 Want a Horse

To be honest, Chief Moral already knew that today's meal might not be just a meal.

But when it came time for Xia Yuxiao to speak, he was still a little worried.

Xia Yuxiao gave them a good place with rich water and grass in the Suolqin tribe, and it was a free gift. This is certainly a good thing for Suolqin, but Moloer, as one of the countries around Daxia, is of great benefit to Daxia. One must understand that the price paid for this free fertile land may only appear in the future.

It's just that I never expected it to come so soon.

"I don't know what your majesty needs the help of the minister and the minister's tribe? If the minister can do it, he will definitely do his best."

Moral said respectfully.

"Hmm..." Xia Yuxiao looked at the other party thoughtfully.

Good guy, if you can do it, you must do your best. In other words, if you think you can't do it, then you won't do it, right?

However, she was complaining in her heart, but she never showed it on the surface, she just nodded: "Okay, I will make it clear. Recently, I am using troops to the west. The imperial army has already been dispatched. How much do you care about this matter?" At least you should already know. And now, I hope you can do something."

"What I mean is that I hope that you, the Suolqin tribe, can help me complete the breeding and training techniques of your horse breed. That is to say..."

"Your Majesty, you want to introduce our horse breed, don't you?"

Although the Solqin tribe is not considered powerful, nor can it be compared with the Saar Dynasty, but they have a very big advantage, that is, their horse breeding and breeding techniques are very strong.Solqin's horses are often purchased by neighboring countries. Although their horses are not the fastest, they have enough endurance and excellent ability to adapt to the environment.

Before that, a considerable part of the cavalry in Daxia—especially the horses of the heavy cavalry—were purchased from Suolqin.However, due to the complicated breeding and breeding techniques of this kind of horse, even though Da Xia bought a lot of horses, he was still unable to successfully cultivate a war horse that could truly become a talent.Only buy their bred horses.

But now, Xia Yuxiao has made up her mind to pry these guys' mouths open this time.

"Exactly. I know that this matter is really difficult for you Suolqin tribe. A considerable part of your tribe's money comes from selling horses—so, I invited you here today, and I also discussed this matter with you thoughts on things."

"Your Majesty, this matter... is really difficult. If this is just the technology of one person, I will naturally present it to His Majesty to repay His Majesty's kindness. But the experience and technology of raising horses are all from our tribe. It has been handed down from our ancestors, and a consensus has already been formed within the tribe, I am afraid they will not agree..."

Moral said sincerely.

"It doesn't matter, Moloer, since I invited you here today, I will naturally not do something like a white wolf with empty hands. First of all, I want your horse breeding skills and horse breeds, but only in my big summer It’s for your own use only, and it will never be passed on. At the same time, we will not grab your business outside.”

After giving such a guarantee, the discussion can continue. Xia Yuxiao still knows this.

The rest of the clan won't agree?This is pure nonsense. The tribal chief of the Suolqin tribe is the leader of the entire tribe. This so-called "tribe", such as the main "pillar industry" such as horse breeding, is monopolized by the tribal chief.If he has made up his mind, it is impossible for him not to have the right to speak.

After all, I just don’t want to give it.

Xia Yuxiao gave such a guarantee, which can be regarded as expressing her sincerity, and at the same time, she also expressed an attitude to the other party: Today, my mother wants your horse, and you won't give it?Are you looking down on me?I'm really going crazy!

Obviously, the determination shown by Xia Yuxiao really made Morore shrink back.

The main reason is that the strength of Daxia is here, and now that Suo Leqin has obtained Kara Shige, the Saar Dynasty now has a lot of opinions on Suo Leqin (they dare not provoke Daxia immediately ), once he offends Daxia again, then the tribe may usher in close contact with the iron cavalry of the Saar Dynasty.

"Since Your Majesty has already said this, I am willing to explain the situation to the elders of our clan on behalf of Your Majesty. However, I cannot guarantee that they will fully agree..."

"Moloer, haven't you, Suolqin, always wanted to get back the water source that was captured by the Saar Dynasty?" Xia Yuxiao didn't look at him, but just tasted the braised sea cucumber in front of her, "I remember that It happened decades ago, after Suo Leqin lost that water source, the Saar Dynasty stopped the water and made your pasture sparse."

"After my army's western expedition is over, I also want to solve the problem in the north - I will let Qin Taiwei take care of the matter of your water source."

Moral was shocked.

The tone of Xia Yuxiao's words was so relaxed.

But for the Suolqin tribe, this is the blood and tears of the Suolqin tribe for decades.

The place called "Mulercuo" by Suolqin people, although the terrain is complex, is the source of the mother river that irrigates Suolqin.

However, since Suolqin was defeated and forced to shrink decades ago, the water source there has been occupied by the Saar Dynasty. The Saar Dynasty intercepted most of the water flow, resulting in the barren grassland of Suolqin.Later, it was Suolqin who was forced to present a heavy gift to the Saar Dynasty, and the other party promised to add a little more water every year during the critical period of pasture growth.

If providing Daxia with horse breeding technology can be exchanged for Daxia's support and help them get it back... this would be the greatest joy of the tribe.

"How? Let me emphasize again, we will not sell the war horses we have bred to other countries, let alone spread the technology to the outside world. Of course, I have to explain that you can refuse, after all, these promises can be reneged in the eyes of many people Yes. But if you are willing to believe in my promise, it may be the most correct choice you make."

Xia Yuxiao was not in a hurry at all. After she finished speaking, she continued to eat on her own.

Moral let his mind recover from the tempting shock just now, and began to think about the possibility of this matter.

Daxia's reputation is still very good, at least if they promise to protect you, they will definitely try their best to keep you.Morore didn't think they would suddenly repent. This was a deadly joke for Da Xia and many tribes.

In this case...

"I am willing to serve Great Xia. In addition to the horse breed and horse breeding skills, I am willing to present a thousand good horses as a thank you to Your Majesty."

Hearing this, Xia Yuxiao nodded.

It was a bit of a windfall, which I didn't expect.

Chapter 98 Before the Storm

While Xia Yuxiao was frantically fighting for the interests of Daxia's army in the country, Qin Ji had already arrived in the territory of Daxi Kingdom.

Facing the arrival of Qin Ji and the whole army of Chiyuan, the king of Daxi Kingdom showed full sincerity and personally brought the members of the royal family out to greet them.

Qin Ji and the satellites and others who accompanied him on the expedition all received a small bowl of porridge with a strong aroma—a variety of grains and a lot of crushed nuts in it.

This is a ceremony for entertaining guests in Daxi Kingdom. They call this porridge "Mirenda", and Daxia has a more appropriate translation for their porridge full of dry goods, which is called "Fengdeng porridge".

In Atlantis, this kind of porridge made with various grains and roasted and crushed dried fruits represents "the best hospitality".

After drinking the porridge full of the fragrance of grains, Qin Ji gave a big gift to King Mihe, and the two sides happily entered the city together.

"Your Majesty, I came to your country today to support your country under the order of our Majesty. I don't know how is the war with Samanjan now, Your Majesty the King?"

"Before receiving your letter, Samanjan had already launched an attack on the northern border of our country. Their offensive momentum was very fierce. Originally, the generals advocated defending the enemy at the border, but after reading your letter, after Discuss and decide on your method."

King Mihe said.
