Chapter 13
Qi Zhang turned his head, looked at Sheng Jiaojiao with a smile, with a pampering expression on his face,

"Did you call Tan Ji casually? It doesn't matter whether you are old or young, you have to call me Brother."

got used to!A playful smile appeared on Sheng Jiaojiao's face, she would not call him brother, she would call him Tan Ji by his first name.

Tan Ji, Tan Ji, Tan Ji!

This scene happened to be seen by Tan Ji who turned his head. He glanced at her and didn't care what she called him.

Then he turned back to Qizhang and said business.
"When I came out of the barracks today, the battalion commander specifically asked me about expanding the camp."

"What a coincidence, our battalion commander also asked me."

Qi Zhang looked at Tan Ji with a smile. The two of them belonged to the best in the camp. If the camp is expanded from two camps in the east and west to four camps, then the establishment will increase, and the two of them are likely to be promoted. .

Sheng Jiaojiao listened to the conversation between the two, counted the time silently, and asked:
"Is it because the crown prince was exiled to us, that the vassal state has become restless?"

This time, Qi Zhang and Tan Ji looked back at her at the same time, Tan Ji said:
"There has always been restlessness. The arrival of the prince only strengthened their ambitions."

This was also the reason why Jishang was heavily guarded by soldiers. Even though it was only a deposed prince who came to them, even if he was deposed, he was still the son of the emperor.

If the emperor's son was taken away by a subordinate state, whether he was demoted or not, the nature would be different.

Sheng Jiaojiao nodded and said seriously:

"We'll be fine, big brother and Tan Ji are here."

The National Assembly came, and it came very quickly, but Qi Zhang and Tan Ji would not let them set foot on the land in the north of the county.

Hearing this, Qi Zhang turned around and said with a smile:
"Jiao Jiaoer, why didn't big brother realize before that you trust your brother Tan Ji so much?"

She was right to trust him, after all, she was her own sister, but Tan Ji and Sheng Jiaojiao hadn't seen each other for several years, and Sheng Jiaojiao had never mentioned Tan Ji before.

Why did you act so special to Tan Ji today?

Sheng Jiaojiao said seriously:

"I just feel that among the men in Zhishou County, there is no better man than Big Brother and Tan Ji."

She felt that she might have acted too special to Tan Ji, which aroused Qi Zhang's suspicion.

So I hurried to make amends, and said:

"Of course, my eldest brother is the most powerful, even Tan Ji can't compare!"

It's always right to flatter my brother more.

Her expression was too naive, and her tone was taken for granted, which made Qi Zhang want to laugh. Being trusted and supported by his sister made Qi Zhang feel very good.

Tan Ji raised his sword eyebrows and looked at Qi Zhang, who had never won a sword competition with him.

But Tan Ji has no intention of haggling with Sheng Jiaojiao, she is Qi Zhang's younger sister, and she thinks her elder brother is the most powerful, so it's only natural.

Tan Ji's brows loosened, but there was still no smile on his face.

Tan Xiaojian and the other teenagers behind him were completely youthful. When they heard that the camp was going to be expanded, they made gestures. Tan Xiaojian said happily:

"Then will we be able to become the squad leader once we go in, with our skills?"

Very likely, Sheng Jiaojiao nodded secretly. If the camp is to be expanded, it means that the number of recruits will increase. If there are particularly outstanding soldiers, as soon as they enter the new barracks, they will be promoted to team leaders.

Listening to the discussion of Tan Xiaojian and the others behind him, Sheng Jiaojiao thought about it, and said to Qi Zhang and Tan Ji in front:

"Big brother, Tan Ji, I think that if you have made meritorious service, you don't have to hand over all the confiscated things to the higher authorities. Then the subordinate countries will definitely become more and more restless, but when the two countries are at war, it often takes It will not attract the attention of the imperial capital until there are large-scale casualties."

She spoke slowly, riding on a horse, her eyes drooping, she looked like a pretty and quiet girl, but what she said made both Qi Zhang and Tan Ji look surprised and surprised ponder.

Sheng Jiaojiao didn't care so much, anyway, she had said similar things to Qi Zhang just now, and now she just said it again to Tan Ji.

So he went on to say:

"If the loot is collected, it can be used to buy good horses and weapons for your own barracks, or to buy winter clothes for the soldiers, and prepare the luggage for war. If the imperial capital does not respond in time, whether the luggage has been transported? In the early stage, we at least It is prepared."

As she spoke, she raised her eyes abruptly, and saw Tan Ji looking back at her, those dark eyes met her just like that.

It was Sheng Jiaojiao who realized it. Oops, didn't he say too much, too skillfully?
In fact, Tan Ji did this in his previous life.

It was also because Tan Ji did not report the exact amount of spoils every time he fought, and the officials had their opinions. Yin Ze was also secretly annoyed, but he had to rely on Tan Ji to fight, so it was not easy to explode.

But Tan Ji in this life, I'm afraid he hasn't thought about it so deeply for the time being.

Sheng Jiaojiao talked too deeply, she just wanted to remind Qi Zhang and Tan Ji, because in the previous life, before Daze and the subordinate country officially started the war, the subordinate country had gone south to harass Daze for several years.

In those few years, not only the people on the frontier had a hard time, but even the soldiers on the frontier also had a hard time.

It is because Daze did not pay attention to it, did not formally declare war with the vassal states, and the luggage was not transported to the frontier. Those soldiers had to work hard to guard the border while enduring the suffering of the shortage of luggage.

To be honest, the reason why I can persevere is probably just a determination to defend my family and the country.

Tan Ji turned his head back, and walked in front with Qi Zhang silently, without speaking, and didn't know what the two of them were thinking.

Sheng Jiaojiao didn't dare to continue talking, for fear that if she said too much, Qi Zhang and Tan Ji would become suspicious.

In this way, we soon arrived at the fork in the road back to the village.

Niu Ju was embarrassed to let Tan Xiaojian be sent into the village, and got off Tan Xiaojian's horse on his own initiative, and glanced at Qi Zhang, his face was black and red.

Qi Zhang led the horse and continued walking towards the village with Sheng Jiaojiao. Niu Ju followed behind Qi Zhang with her head bowed and without saying a word, like a little daughter-in-law.

After parting with Niu Ju and returning home, Sheng Jiaojiao dismounted from Qi Zhang's horse, took the initiative to unload the earthenware pot hanging on the horse's back, went back to the house, changed her shoes, and prepared to pour water into the water tank.

Qi Zhang wanted to help, but his mother called him into the house.

It was getting dark, Qi Rong had already returned from the fair, and when he heard Sheng Jiaojiao entered the yard, he ran out hurriedly to help Sheng Jiaojiao pour water from a pottery pot, and then grabbed a few copybooks and went into Sheng Jiaojiao's room.

"Here, third sister, this is vegetable money."

A large handful of copper coins was placed on Sheng Jiaojiao's desk.

She didn't count how many there were, and only divided half of them out, and let Qi Rong hold them.

When Qi Zhi happily counted the copper coins, Sheng Jiaojiao said:

"Bring me the words, I'll take a look."
