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

Qin Ji lay peacefully on the bed, and the girl next to her was covered with a quilt, sleeping very sweetly.

So sweet that Qin Ji didn't even know that she could still sleep so well.

The curse has already been eliminated, or rather, it was eliminated in the middle of the process yesterday-judging from the changes in the spell, the curse probably needs to be maintained by the caster when it takes effect.But obviously, at that time, Lingyan had no time to stabilize the ability of spells.

So at the end, there is no such thing as who controls who between the two people.

Qin Ji didn't have any resentment or dissatisfaction with her for putting a curse on herself to keep things going.Because he knew why the other party would do it.

Lingyan is not stupid, she really has no political sense, but she still knows more or less what will happen to her young master in the future.

According to her personality, it is perfectly normal for her to do such a thing while the sky is high and the emperor is far away.

Qin Ji stood up and prepared to put on his clothes.

A moment of Chunxiao is worth a thousand dollars. Although strictly speaking, Chunxiao was created under his control, he still has to bear the responsibilities that should be borne.

However, Chunxiao cannot delay the war.He didn't want to be a general who missed the opportunity of war because of the spring night.

In order to avoid waking up the other party, the movement of getting up was as light as possible, so as not to disturb the people around him.Even the action of lifting the quilt and getting up is the same.

But, the moment the quilt was lifted, Qin Ji couldn't help but take a look inside.

sizzle.

Worth a thousand gold, worth a thousand gold!

Well, the appreciation is over, people should go.

Suddenly, a cool hand grabbed his wrist.

"Where?"

The girl asked in a misty voice that just woke up from sleep.

"Go and prepare for the battle...According to the plan, the fight will start in a while. In your state...you should rest."

Qin Ji looked at Lingyan's state and gave his own suggestion.

After all, yesterday's intensity was still a bit high.

"Wait a minute."

Lingyan stretched out a leg from the quilt, then groped around the bed, and finally picked it up with her toes, hooking the clothes scattered by the bed last night into the quilt with her feet.Then the whole person got into the quilt.

After the rustling sound of dressing, she lifted the quilt and jumped out of bed.

"I'm a guard, I have to go with you... Hiss—"

"I've said it all, it's better for you to take a rest. The guard's task is to protect me. Is it really okay for you to be in this state?" Qin Ji asked helplessly.

"It's okay, it doesn't matter."

Unable to resist Lingyan, he had no choice but to let Lingyan follow. However, this made it a little slow for the two of them to go out, after all, he couldn't walk too fast.

"You were too impulsive yesterday."

"Why don't you be impulsive? Hold on, what you want to do, what you want to say, you have to wait until the right time and the right place to say it? What if you don't meet such an opportunity? Do I have to hold it in my stomach? lifetime?"

I don't know if it's because she took the initiative at night, but Lingyan speaks a little aggressively now.

"...You are right, so impulsive guard, what do you want to do next?"

"What to do?" Faced with Qin Ji's words, Lingyan's response seemed very relaxed, "I did what I should do, and I also did what I shouldn't do. Didn't I say it, just treat it as your sleep?" After a while, now I am your loyal guard, and you are my loyal young master, everything remains the same."

Looking at Lingyan's appearance, Qin Ji suddenly realized that he couldn't get too "used" to this guard.

"Oh, that's it. After the war, we will go to the Baiguo Street of the Onishi Kingdom together. You can go shopping for me. For me, it's safe to stay in the army."

Qin Ji's words are also reasonable, and it was the same last night. In the military camp, he basically does not need special guards, because outside his camp are all his cronies, and the surrounding guard posts are also set by Lingyan and the satellites. He honestly stayed in the tent for a while, and he was just as safe without his spirit.

However, as soon as he said this, Lingyan gave him a hard look.

"Why, what does this look mean? Do you want me to go with you or don't you want to?"

A brief standoff.

"think."

"That's it." Qin Ji smiled, "You dare to do these things, so don't hide them. Of course, it's better not to do this in front of outsiders, it will affect you badly."

"Yes."

The familiar guard's answer.

Chapter 6 Cook before going to war

"Captain."

During the main camp, Satellite saw Qin Ji coming and saluted respectfully.

"Well, are all the parts ready to be completed?"

"Yes, all the troops are starting to make meals now, and they will leave immediately after breakfast."

said the satellite.

Except for emergency marches, Daxia's army mostly has hot meals to eat at other times. The life of long-distance raids with a few pieces of noodles and a piece of jerky has long since become a thing of the past. Today's Daxia In wars, most of them have sufficient logistical attacks, all of which benefit from Daxia's well-connected official roads.

The ancestors opened wide and straight avenues from the high mountains, which made the transportation of grain and grass and business exchanges in the whole Great Xia extremely prosperous. In addition to the most orderly official roads, various places continued to use official roads as the basis. The so-called "county road" was opened up-that is, the provincial road in Qin Ji's understanding.

These roads have greatly reduced the logistical pressure of Daxia, and horse-drawn carriages can shuttle quickly among them. The food transported from Shengshu County, which was once like a natural danger, no longer needs the peasants to carry it down the mountain with a load.

"Oh, what did you eat this morning?" Qin Ji asked curiously.

"The cook said that this morning I ate white steamed buns with meat and broth."

"Come on, I happen to be hungry too, let's go have a bite together."

Qin Ji did not expect that the soldiers ate so vigorously in the morning.But there is nothing wrong with thinking about it carefully. After all, some troops will need to go on a long-distance raid for nearly a day. They will probably eat dry food on the road, so they naturally have to eat a good meal in the morning.

"Ah, you don't need to go to the shed to fill it. I've already filled it for you and put it inside." Satellite said quickly.

"Satellite, you have been studying abroad for too long, and you have learned a lot of good things, but you seem to have forgotten some of our own things." Qin Ji smiled, but he didn't mean to blame him, "War, of course, depends on the command , skills, equipment, but there is another factor that cannot be ignored, and that is morale. The soldiers are about to fight a tough battle, and they all eat a big pot of rice in front, and I enjoy it here alone, which is not a good habit.”

After saying this, Satellite scratched his head in embarrassment: "Sorry, Captain, I didn't think carefully."

"It's nothing, just pay attention next time. We have to understand that battles are fought by people. No matter how wise an officer is, it is still up to the soldiers to play the greatest role. Therefore, don't leave the soldiers too far. You give The meal I bought will be distributed to the guards at the door in a while, and it happens that they haven't eaten yet."

Qin Ji used to always implement this concept.

In order to control the army, in addition to attracting those officers, you also need to have your own prestige and popularity in the army.No matter how much the officers support you, if the soldiers are far more loyal to the emperor than you are, you will be in danger.

Therefore, whether it is Qin Ji in the past or Qin Ji now, always keep in mind a truth: only by getting close to the soldiers can you truly control the army.

When Qin Ji walked into the camp, the soldiers who had just taken their meals were feasting on stewed meat with white steamed buns.

The meat was fat and thin. If it was placed in Qin Ji's era, many people would think it was too fatty and wouldn't even taste it too much.But here, in Daxia, for the soldiers, this is the most satisfying meal they can eat.

"Greetings, Lord Taiwei."

Seeing Qin Ji walk into the camp, several sharp-eyed soldiers saluted immediately.

"It's okay, it's okay, you eat yours, I'm just here for a meal."

Qin Ji smiled and waved his hands, then walked all the way to the sergeant who was cooking: "Give me one too."

"There are still people in the back who haven't gotten a meal, go to the back and line up first, don't jump in line."

The sergeant who was busy bowing his head to eat said seriously.

Qin Ji was taken aback by these words, and then smiled: "Okay, then I'll go to the back and wait."

"Too..." The satellite next to him saw that the cooking sergeant was dying like this, and hurriedly tried to stop Qin Ji from saying something, but Qin Ji waved his hand, and walked slowly to the end of the line to wait for the cooking.

Of course, the person serving the meal did not see that it was Qin Ji who "jumped in the queue", but the soldiers next to him were in a cold sweat. Seeing Qin Ji running to the back to wait for the meal, he quickly poked the sergeant in charge of serving the meal: " I'm super, are you crazy? Don't you look at who was that just now?"

"Who is it? Is it reasonable to jump in line?"

The big brother who served the rice snorted coldly, and then continued to busy with the work in hand: "The next one...okay! The next one...okay!"

"It was the Taiwei who jumped in line just now, you don't even look at people!?"

"What's wrong with the Taiwei, it's justified for him to jump in the queue..."

Before Brother Shengfan finished speaking, he froze there.

Then there was a ding bang, and then the elder brother ran all the way to the end of the line and slid and knelt down:

"Master Taiwei! I really don't know it's you... I, I, I, I will give you a copy..."

I have to say that this buddy's reaction was extremely quick. From the moment he noticed the opponent's identity to running to the end of the line and sliding to kneel, his movements were done in one go, as silky and smooth as the rehearsed ones.

"The people in front are still waiting for you to cook, so do your own work well."

Qin Ji pointed to the soldiers who were still waiting for food, and said.

"Can......"

"But what? There's nothing wrong with what you're doing. But if you're still wasting time in front of me, it's your negligence. Hurry back and finish your work."

Qin Ji said calmly.

"...Yes, I will go back here!"

The sergeant who served the rice returned to his post in a cold sweat, and the spoons that served the rice were trembling.

However, Satellite was so teased that he almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

In fact, there are not many intersections between the Red Kite Army and Qin Ji. Although this army occasionally obeys Qin Ji's orders under the emperor's orders, it is not an army brought out by Qin Ji himself, so it is completely I don't know his temper and disposition.If it were the armies in Qin Ji's own hands, he would definitely not be frightened like this.

"Satellite, in charge of the army, military discipline must be strict. Rewards and punishments are clearly defined, and functions are clearly defined, so that the efficiency can be maximized. Just like the sergeant who served rice, he maintained the discipline of cooking, which is a good thing. This kind of discipline should be promoted in the military. Ethos. There are really very few of these things in the Weixi Empire, and you must implement this in the future."

As Qin Ji spoke, he followed the team forward.

Then, I got my own portion of the meal.

The soldiers around looked at Qin Ji and sat on the chair with the rice, looking at me and looking at you, but they didn't know what to do.

"Sit down and have dinner."

Qin Ji raised his head and looked at them, then said.

With a sound of swishing, all the soldiers sat on the chairs in unison, and then started cooking in silence.
