Chapter 67 They Are All Wrong

Tan Ji frowned, unwilling to leave, he naturally knew that he was putting the cart before the horse, he should go to Niu Ju to explain, instead of always caring about what Sheng Jiaojiao thinks.

But he couldn't walk, he couldn't move his feet, and the balance in his heart was between Sheng Jiaojiao and Niu Ju, so naturally, it kept tilting towards Sheng Jiaojiao.

He had to explain it to her and calm her down.

As for Niu Ju, she was angry, but Tan Ji didn't care.

"Jiao Niang."

Tan Ji cupped his hands again, facing the waist of the vast enemy army who would rather not bend, once again bent down to Sheng Jiaojiao.

He scared her, really.

If she kept talking to him like this, he would always be afraid of her.

Sheng Jiaojiao still turned her back to him, but began to bite her lip and snicker, her arrogance was outrageous.

Unexpectedly, he held onto Tan Ji again.

"Jiao Niang."

He called out again, as if he had no choice but to see it.

"I can't, I can't just bite the bullet and marry Niu Ju home because I am afraid that Niu Ju and her aunt will be sad. Tan Ji has absolutely no intention of marrying a wife, it is absolutely true."

If you say you won't marry, you won't marry, Tan Ji seems to be showing his loyalty, hiding his determination under the water, neither marrying Sheng Jiaojiao nor Niu Ju.

Having said that, Sheng Jiaojiao should be satisfied.

Sure enough, Sheng Jiaojiao couldn't help being happy when she heard it. She got up, turned around, and said to Tan Ji with a dignified manner:
"Forget it, I can't watch you worry. After all, you will protect the entire Daze in the future. I will enlighten Niu Ju, but we can agree on this matter in advance. Niu Ju is a good girl. You are willing to be single for the rest of your life." If Niu Ju marries someone in the future, if someone spreads rumors about what they have to do with you, you should settle this matter yourself."

Tan Ji immediately breathed a sigh of relief, straightened his waist,
"I won't gossip with people. After a while, I'll tell the rest of the people in the stove house not to go out and gossip."

Tan Ji definitely wouldn't say anything that didn't work out. The men in the kitchen were all iron-blooded soldiers, and they wouldn't make fun of women's fame.

Sheng Jiaojiao showed a satisfied expression, nodded, turned around again, raised the hem of his clothes, sat upright on the rock, and stopped talking.

What she wanted to say to Tan Ji had already been said.

Seeing that he still hadn't left, she tilted her head strangely and looked at him with puzzled water eyes.

Seeing her demure and elegant posture, Tan Ji seemed as if a daughter of a thousand pieces of gold was waiting for his long-term worker to reply.

He wiped the thin sweat from his forehead just now, sighed slightly, took another deep breath, and said in a low voice:

"Your elder brother is actually afraid that Master Qin will lose face, so what he said just now was just a scene, Jiao Niang."

His tone was always flat and upright, it didn't sound like he was coaxing people at all, as he talked, it seemed like he was reprimanding Sheng Jiaojiao for his waywardness.

So halfway through the talk, Tan Ji didn't know what to say, and he became nervous again, for fear that Sheng Jiaojiao, who had finally recovered his mood, would be annoyed by him again.

After a pause, Tan Ji bit the bullet and said again:

"Jiao Niang, you can go back, your uncle can't do it alone, she has to live and cook, she really can't move."

"Then you go and help her light the fire, and I'll sit here for a while."

She doesn't want to go back to the stove now, as soon as she does, she will see Qin Wa's stubborn face.

As long as Sheng Jiaojiao sees Qin Wa's stubborn attitude, Sheng Jiaojiao can't help but get angry. She can't wait to take a hammer and pry the man's head open. Some supplies would be good.

Seeing that Sheng Jiaojiao was angry again, Tan Ji stood beside her for a while before saying:

"Master Qin will agree."

"Not everyone is as smart as you and big brother. Some people can't be great generals because their brains are too rigid."

As Sheng Jiaojiao spoke, her lips curled up slightly, as if she was acting coquettishly, she pulled another branch, and struck a small dirt bag in front of her vigorously, said airily:
"Not to mention, just look, when winter comes, the vassal states lack food for the winter, and they must go south to plunder. There will be a big war this winter, so it doesn't matter if our son of Zhishou County dies? So many soldiers' lives Is it okay to be dragged to death by the emperor's lack of haste? Don't they have a home? No wife and children? Don't they miss their parents? The emperor doesn't care, and their battalion commander doesn't care. Who can value their lives?."

The more she spoke, the angrier she became, and when she raised her head, her eyes seemed to be on fire, staring angrily at the little dirtbag in front of her.

Tan Ji didn't speak, his black eyes were burning, and he just quietly watched Sheng Jiaojiao lose his temper.

As if venting her anger, she knocked on the clod in front of her with a branch, as if she hated that iron could not be made into steel.

The white and tender fingers were glowing red due to too much force.

The shadow beside him moved, and Tan Ji squatted down. He stretched out his hand and grabbed the branch in Sheng Jiaojiao's hand, preventing her from hitting the clod in front of her again.

Sheng Jiaojiao didn't let go of his own branch, he exerted a little force, with a little force.

She let go of her hand and looked at him puzzled.

Tan Ji lowered his eyes, not daring to look into her eyes, and whispered:
"Don't be angry, if Master Qin doesn't agree to save your luggage, your elder brother and I will apply for a camp change. We will go to the north of the county, and Master Qin and Battalion Commander Bai will guard Tiaoma Lake."

In terms of military strength, the east-west camps of Tan Ji and Qi Zhang are better than the north-south camps, because the east-west camps are all young men, and the new generation of Zheng Ling, Tan Xiaojian, Qi Ming, etc. have all entered the east-west camps.

The North and South Battalions are full of veterans, and many of them have already made homes in Tiaoma Lake. After serving as soldiers for a few years, they will return home to farm.

Therefore, the troops of the East and West Battalions are stronger.

During this period of time, the East and West camps had several small confrontations with the subordinate countries, and they made a lot of money from them. The money, horses, grain, rice, and noodles were all left in the East and West Camps.

There are even quite a few winter coats.

The luggage is much more than the reserves of the North and South Battalions.

Tan Ji had this idea earlier, and let the East and West Camps replace the North and South Camps.

He had expected for a long time that this winter, there would be a battle between the vassal state and Zhishou County. For this battle, the more prepared West Camp and Dong Camp would be more confident than the South Camp and Bei Camp. .

Hearing what Tan Ji said, Sheng Jiaojiao immediately turned from worry to joy, saying:
"Okay, you go to the north of the county and screw off the heads of those vassals!"

As she said that, she grasped the void with her hand, and twisted it forcefully, with a vicious look, making Tan Ji squat beside her, couldn't help lowering her head, and let out a muffled laugh.

When a girl is arrogant, it makes people frightened and filled with righteous indignation, and it makes people feel so sweet that the ironed heart will burn.

what a nice girl.

The green shadow swayed in the wind, Tan Ji raised his head solemnly, and said to Sheng Jiaojiao:
"The book you wrote to me last time, about the vassal state, introduced in great detail the entire vassal state's economy, humanities, history, reproduction and changes of the ruling family, and the grievances and grievances of each tribe. Where did you learn about all this?"

He carefully read the books that Sheng Jiaojiao sent to his home last time. It was precisely because of reading these books written in vernacular about the detailed situation of the vassal state that Tan Ji had the confidence to decide to trade with Qin Wa and Bai Tao. place.

"In the book, all kinds of books, all the summaries about the vassal state in all the books, as well as the knowledge of those people on the vassal state, all the information that can be collected, I have compiled it into a book."

What Sheng Jiaojiao said was very ordinary, as if what she had done was just a trivial matter, and she said to Tan Ji:
"So don't underestimate the book I wrote for you. Although we are located in the frontier and border with the vassal country, we are not the people of the vassal country, and we have not gone deep into the hinterland of the vassal country. In fact, we can only understand many things on the surface. How to see the essence under the surface still requires a comprehensive analysis of many aspects, so it is said that knowing yourself and the enemy is invincible, you should read more, it will help you in the future.”

There is no separation between military and politics, and politics is also closely related to the harem. Every move of the nobles affects the interests of the people.

This is the truth that Sheng Jiaojiao knew in her previous life.

This principle is the same in the vassal state, especially the political and people's livelihood of the vassal state is more complicated, each tribe is like a small court, each tribe has its own history of rise and fall, and there are also various intricate relations between tribes relation.

For example, the princess of this tribe married the prince of that tribe, and was snatched away by another tribe. She gave birth to so-and-so, which tribe she inherited gave birth to so-and-so, and married so-and-so from the enemy tribe.

I am afraid that the tribes who belong to the country may not be able to figure out these messy relationships.

Sheng Jiaojiao had studied it in her previous life. If it hadn't been for several years to sort out and trace the origin of this kind of intricate interpersonal relationship, she wouldn't be able to write it in such detail.

Tan Ji, who was squatting beside her, didn't speak, but just looked at Sheng Jiaojiao quietly. They all said that she was pampered by the Qi family. She was obviously just a girl, but she was still in private school.

They said that she can't cook, doesn't know how to cook, can't lift heavy objects, can't do housework, and her shoes and socks are wet, and they want her brother to bend down to take them off for her, and say a few harsh words to her. They've all committed a heinous crime.

They said that she had a slender figure, her hips were not wide, and her buttocks were not big. They were afraid that her offspring would be weak and it would be difficult for her husband's family to prosper.

They also said that she had a haughty personality and refused to flatter her in-laws.

they said.
None of the men in Zhishou County dared to marry Sheng Jiaojiao, and felt that they could not afford to support such a living Bodhisattva.

They are all wrong.

Sheng Jiaojiao may be flamboyant, coquettish, or self-willed, but it's not that she has no advantages, but her advantages are invisible to ordinary people.

Neither is needed.

"Jiao Niang."

Tan Ji opened his mouth softly, Sheng Jiaojiao turned his head and looked at him suspiciously.

He looked directly at her with a pair of black eyes, and said:
"You are fine, but the world does not have a pair of eyes."

Sheng Jiaojiao was taken aback, looked at Tan Ji, slightly fanned her long eyelashes like a feather fan, then raised her eyebrows proudly and said with a smile:

"It's natural, I've never felt bad about myself."

Seeing her so confident, Tan Ji couldn't help curling the corners of his mouth. He raised his hand, stretched out his hand, and wanted to pat Sheng Jiaojiao's head. At this moment, his heart was soft towards her.

But when Tan Ji stretched out his hand, he felt something was wrong, curled up his fingers, and retracted it.

Since he has no intention of marrying her, why should he be rude to her?

Amidst the faint fragrance of trees, Sheng Jiaojiao saw his movements, and couldn't help being startled, and subconsciously wanted to yell at him, "Presumptuous!"

But holding back, she remembered that she is not the queen now, nor is Tan Ji a courtier of Yin Ze.

What's more, Tan Ji's hand hasn't been stretched out yet.

But at the moment when Sheng Jiaojiao was in a daze, Tan Ji had already got up, his eyes were dark and dim, and he said in a low voice:

"Feel sorry."

Sheng Jiaojiao didn't speak, just raised his head and stared at him.

If he wanted to make a move on her, would it be enough to just say "sorry"?
With his back against the light, the expression on his face was shrouded in shadows. There was no expression on his sharp and handsome face.

For a moment, Sheng Jiaojiao seemed to see Tan Ji in her previous life, the general who had been walking alone all the time, dressed in military uniform, covered with blood and fire, standing upright, yet lonely.

Her throat was sore, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she lowered her head.

Forget it, what does she care about with him?
The atmosphere was calm again, Tan Ji turned around suddenly, and went to the kitchen.

Sheng Jiaojiao sat alone on the rock for a long time, then raised her hand, rubbed the top of her head, and smiled slightly, Tan Ji, this person
He went back to the backyard.

In the kitchen, the debate was still going on. Sheng Jiaojiao stood in the backyard and listened. Bai Tao seemed to have agreed to earn money to support the soldiers in the camp. Qin Wa was still insisting, but the tone seemed to have loosened.

At this time Tan Ji spoke, and told the battalion commanders of the other three battalions about the possible ambush location of an army of the vassal state that he had recently investigated.

This army is very close to the north of the county, just beside Qin Wa's camp.

Qin Wa was startled, put down the wine bowl, and asked:
"Isn't this a nomadic tribe belonging to the country? They are all civilians belonging to the country. This is no joke. My spies have visited it with their own eyes."

Because he was just a commoner, Qin Wa had never been on guard. Sometimes the men in this tribe would secretly go to the Daze territory with their furs to exchange for some rice noodles. Qin Wa would turn a blind eye.

There is no other reason. In fact, there are many merchants in Daze, who will bring rice noodles to the northern part of Zhishou County, and secretly exchange them for the furs of the vassal states, and then take them to other counties to sell at high prices.

The arrival of these merchants will also sell the rice noodles that are abundant in other counties to the common people of Zhishou County along the way, which is also beneficial to the people of Zhishou County who can't even grow crops well.

So over the years, the military barracks around Tiaoma Lake have been very tolerant towards ordinary civilians in the country who come to exchange rice noodles.

"They're not civilians, they're the tribe of retainers belonging to Kouxiu."

Tan Ji was very sure of what he said. He stretched out two fingers, dipped his fingertips in wine, and drew a topographic map on the desktop.

The point where Qin Wa's camp is stationed is a very critical position. As long as Qin Wa's camp is taken down, the subordinate country can step into Tiaoma Lake one step at a time, approach Jishang, and take away the deposed prince.

 Brother Ji is a little bit of that... Fear of guilt.

  Tan Ji: Dog author!
