Chapter 68 Little Fox Fairy

Kou Xiu is a very inconspicuous prince of the Kou family who has never been talked about.

A prince's retainer tribe cannot be regarded as a commoner tribe at all.

Tan Ji said, raised his eyes to look at Qin Wa, and asked:

"In such a critical location, even ordinary civilian tribes cannot allow them to station here."

Sheng Jiaojiao stood in the backyard and nodded repeatedly. Ordinary civilian tribes would not be stationed in such a sensitive place.

Since the development of the vassal state, there are no ordinary civilian tribes at all.

Because although there is a royal family in the vassal state, they are also nomadic tribes as a unit, moving around a large wasteland for a living all the year round.

These tribes are actually equivalent to the military camps of Daze. The men in each tribe are civilians in peacetime and soldiers in wartime. This is the same as Zhishou County, which is the closest to the vassal state.

It's just that the tribes belonging to the country are more militarized in management than the villages in Zhishou County.

With the decline of the royal family, the jurisdiction over the tribes has become more and more disintegrated, and the grievances between the tribes have deepened. The tribes are desperately developing their forces, and the civilian tribes do not exist at all.

The vassal state is a game where the weak prey on the strong. Up to now, the weak tribes have either been slaughtered or annexed.

This point was summed up by Sheng Jiaojiao and written in the book for Tan Ji.

Most of the people in Zhishou County, who are close to the same vassal state, actually know this, but because it is so close to the vassal state, it is too poor, too remote, and the cultural development is too backward.

Some things are just gossip, which exists in people's word of mouth and has never been registered.

So the meaning of passing on and passing on has changed, and the true news has become false.

In addition, they had never heard of Kou Xiu before, so both Qin Wa and Bai Tao felt that such an unknown small tribe would not attack them.

And who is Kou Xiu, ha, Kou Xiu is more than just a little-known prince.

After this battle, starting from strangling Qin Wa and Bai Tao, Kou Xiuhui will gradually grow into one of the most stalwart, most combative and bloodthirsty generals in the vassal state.

He is the most capable prince of the royal family in the future, who can lead the kingdom south and capture Daze.

Unfortunately, he was later killed by Tan Ji.

Of course, if Tan Ji hadn't killed Kou Xiu, maybe Kou Xiu would inherit the throne of the vassal state, and Shangna Daze's future would be even more precarious when he became the king of the vassal state.

When Sheng Jiaojiao summed up the country's customs, human geography, and royal secrets, she wanted to mention Kou Xiu to Tan Ji.

But in order not to make Tan Ji suspicious, Sheng Jiaojiao had to spend a lot of space, writing about every member of the entire royal family.

With Tan Ji's keenness, he would naturally notice this prince who is brave and good at fighting, smart and quick-witted, but has a tyrannical and surly personality.

As long as he has doubts, he will investigate the prince through various channels, and the prince's retainers will naturally be noticed by Tan Ji.

Qin Wa fell silent. He didn't expect that there would be a tribe of retainers belonging to the prince on the side of his couch. Is this okay?

So he looked at Tan Ji and asked:

"Then what should we do now? Drive them away?"

Tan Ji frowned slightly, obviously driving them away would be very unrealistic, because the territory of the subordinate country is very vast, driving them away is like driving a small fish stranded on the shore back to the sea.

When his side turned around, the little fish would return to the shore at some point, waiting for the opportunity to transform into a ferocious dragon and attack the humans on the shore.

"I robbed them directly, why should I drive them away?"

Qi Zhang took a sip of wine, smiled at Qin Wa, and said:
"What a chance to make a fortune, master, if you don't do it, do it for me, my camp is short of furs for the winter."

"Are you a bandit?"

Bai Tao stared at Qi Zhang, before he finished speaking, his nephew Qi Ming took a sip of wine.

As soon as he drank a bowl of wine, Qi Zhang passed another bowl forward, and Bai Tao was so confused by the two brothers Qi Zhang and Qi Ming.

He slapped the table, blushed, and cursed:

"Belonging to the country, it's too much to deceive others! You're stupid, fuck him."

Standing in the backyard and listening, Sheng Jiaojiao couldn't help laughing. She stood at the back door of the kitchen and waved to Mrs. Zhou. When Mrs. Zhou came over, Sheng Jiaojiao winked and whispered to Mrs. Zhou :
"Auntie, serve them the strongest wine that I have."

"What are you doing? I'm afraid I'm going to get drunk."

Zhou's hands were all black, and she wiped them on her apron. As a woman, she had been worried from the very beginning, for fear that the two brothers Qi, Zhang, and Qiming would quarrel with Qin Wa and Bai Tao.

Then if they are all drunk, why don't they draw out their swords and make some gestures?
Sheng Jiaojiao had an instigated expression on her face, and said in a low voice:
"It's just to get them drunk. If you don't get drunk, you won't be able to talk."

Seeing Miss Qi coming home with a basket of embroidery work, she said:
"Auntie, let my mother cook for you. I'll go back to the house and write some contracts."

With that, she turned around and left.

Cooking and cooking is not her strong point at all, just like doing embroidery work, she can also make a show, purely to please Yin Ze in her previous life, she made clothes for him by herself, stewed soup for him with her own hands, etc. Yes, it's all for show.

In fact, it's all done by the palace people.

She'd better do what she does best.

Mrs. Zhou had no choice but to do what Sheng Jiaojiao said, went back to Dafang's room, took out the jars of spirits that Uncle Qi had kept, and put them on the kitchen table.

When Qi Zhang saw it, his eyelids twitched, and he turned to look for Sheng Jiaojiao, who had already slipped away.

Looking at Qi Ming again, Qi Ming smiled sullenly, lifted the red silk on the wine jar again, and shouted at Bai Tao,
"Uncle, come, let's drink!"

Mrs. Qi was called into the kitchen by Mrs. Zhou, and she had cooked several dishes with her help. When they were brought to the table, Bai Tao and Qin Wa were already a little dizzy.

Qi Zhang and Qi Ming drank together with the two of them, and they drank quite well.

Tan Ji was still sober alone. He hooked the wine bowl with two fingers, took a sip of wine slowly, and ate another mouthful of food. With a glance at the end of his eyes, he saw the back door of the kitchen, revealing a corner of his smoky gray dress .

A white and tender hand protruded from behind the wooden door, and then there was Sheng Jiaojiao's beautiful face.

She slightly bent her bright eyes and waved towards Tan Ji.

It's a bit like the little fox fairy who suddenly appeared outside the broken thatched cottage in the wilderness, and is trying to play tricks on the ascetic scholar inside~~
Tan Ji's heart thumped twice, he raised his head to see, except for the few men in the kitchen, Mrs. Zhou and Miss Qi had already returned to their own room.

They vacated the space and let the men talk about things,
So Tan Ji got up, walked to the back door, turned his head, and saw Sheng Jiaojiao standing outside the door.

She held a few pieces of paper in her hand and stuffed them into Tan Ji's arms. He subconsciously stretched out his arms and hugged them with doubts on his face.

"Let Master Qin and Uncle Bai sign it in black and white. When they sober up, they won't be afraid of denying it."

As Sheng Jiaojiao said, her face was full of wit, her phoenix eyes were full of dazzling brilliance, sly and touching.

Little fox fairy, I finally managed to get the scholar out of the dilapidated thatched hut.

Tan Ji frowned slightly, looked at Sheng Jiaojiao with his dark eyes, and then slowly lowered his head to see that there were several contracts in his arms, which roughly meant that the four military camps in the southeast, northwest, and southeast of Tiaoma Lake purchased medicinal materials, side dishes, and apples from the Qi family. contract.

Because of drinking strong alcohol, his brain was a little hot, but he still maintained a strong sobriety, and asked:

"Apple? What's this?"

"It's just a kind of fruit."

As Sheng Jiaojiao said, she took out an apple from her sleeve, stuffed it directly into Tan Ji's hand, and said:

"It's delicious, sign it, I don't mind you, it can quench your thirst."

After the words fell, she turned around and left with her skirt in hand, then turned her head and looked at Tan Ji, who had drunk a lot of wine today, with a smile on her face, with hooks at the end of her eyes,
"Tan Ji."

"Hmm." Tan Ji held a few contracts in one hand and an apple in the other, reacting a little slowly, and looked up at her.

In the afterglow, the smile on Sheng Jiaojiao's face became even bigger,

"Don't drink too much, when you drink the celebration wine."

After exhorting, Sheng Jiaojiao left.

Tan Ji was left standing silently by the back door of Qi's kitchen, staring at the place where Sheng Jiaojiao left, in a daze for a long time.

He was a little confused, whether he drank too much, or was inexplicably fascinated by the goblin.

Things went like this without knowing it.

Tan Ji took advantage of the night last night to leave Qi's house and go back to Dongying. Bai Tao and Qin Wa stayed at Qi's house, Bai Tao stayed at Erlang Qiming's room, and Qin Wa stayed at Qi Zhang's room.

When Bai Tao and Qin Wa woke up, for some reason, they signed a contract with Sheng Jiaojiao to purchase luggage from the Qi family. Tan Ji, Qi Zhang and Qi Ming were witnesses.

Everyone stamped their handprints on it.

The contract was in duplicate, one was in Sheng Jiaojiao's hands, the other was folded into strips and stuck on the collars of Qi Zhang, Qin Wa and Bai Tao, and Tan Ji's was taken back by himself.

After seeing the contract, Qin Wa grabbed the contract and rode back to the camp without saying a word.

Bai Tao picked up a broom in the yard of Qi's house, chased Qi Ming around a few times, and finally returned to the camp with Qi Ming's collar in hand.

Qi Zhang entered Sheng Jiaojiao's room, looked into the room with a half-smile on his face, Qi Rong, who was buried in writing, asked:

"Fourth, where's your sister?"

"Sister? Sister said the weather is good today, so she went to Niu Ju's house to have a sit."

Oh, Qi Zhang suddenly realized that when she got up early this morning, she was afraid that Qin Wa and Bai Tao would settle accounts with her, so Sheng Jiaojiao ran away first.

Seeing that the four brothers were trapped writing in Sheng Jiaojiao's room, with a small face in pain, they asked him pitifully,

"Big brother, can I go out and practice sword?"

"What did your sister ask you to do?"

"Let me write, write so many words."

He shook a large stack of toilet paper on the table, feeling a little dark.

"Then go after practicing your calligraphy."

Qi Zhang had no expression on his face, and looked at the fourth brother Qi ruthlessly, turned around, and left Sheng Jiaojiao's house, holding the black and white paper, he signed and stamped the Xiying self-purchase contract, and returned it to him Xiying.

With such a large amount of supply, Qi Zhang hoped that Sheng Jiaojiao would not collapse.

It used to be that Qi Rong would deliver a truckload of goods to Xiying every day, but Qi Zhang never cared about it, he just thought that Sheng Jiaojiao and Qi Rong were just hanging out at home and making small troubles, and the supplier was introduced by Qi Ming For Sheng Jiaojiao, on the premise that the quality of the medicinal materials is guaranteed, he has the right to earn some small money for his family.

Now that the four barracks in the southeast, northwest, and north of Tiaoma Lake have all signed contracts in black and white with Sheng Jiaojiao, it's no joke.

The supply of medicinal materials, side dishes, and apples for four thousand soldiers is already a serious business.

Sheng Jiaojiao also thought about this matter.

It used to be a small matter, sending a cart of side dishes and medicinal materials to the two military camps in the east and west a day, which was equivalent to a child, and he could still take care of it.

After all, there are more goods and less goods delivered every day, and there are no hard and fast rules.

Now he has to go to the four military camps to deliver a fixed amount of medicinal materials, side dishes and apples every day. Even Qi Rong has three heads and six arms, and he can't pick and harvest so many things.

In the military camp, as long as there is no war, medicinal materials are not used by everyone every day.

But side dishes are eaten by everyone every day.

So Sheng Jiaojiao went to find Niu Ju early in the morning.

Niu Ju's house was bare, without any shade of green trees. A lone sheep was tied to the stone mill in the yard, bleating.

Compared with the Qi family with more men, the Niu family has three members and only one girl, so the house is much simpler to build. One main room and two side rooms are all earthen houses, and even one is dug on the earth slope. There is a hole, which is a cave house.

Sheng Jiaojiao was standing outside the yard, and just about to call Niu Ju, she heard Xiong Lin scolding from inside the room:
"With that money, I can buy a sheep and come back to do labor. I can't keep it alive. How about saving the money as my own dowry? Well, now that Tan Ji is well-off, he doesn't look down on our family anymore. I see him in the future. Marrying a golden phoenix back home, honest and honest girls like us can't even look down on him, who can he look up to?"

Outside the barren loess yard, Sheng Jiaojiao felt angry when she heard Xiong Lin scolding Tan Ji, and said with a smile:

"Who is Niu Niangzi scolding this early in the morning? Beware of being overheard, they say that Niu Ju is married and forced it to Tan Dalang. Tan Dalang doesn't want it. It will damage Niu Ju's reputation for nothing."

The shouting in the house suddenly died away.

After a while, Niu Ju ran out of the main room with red eyes, grabbed Sheng Jiaojiao's wrist, and said in a low voice:

"let's go."

Sheng Jiaojiao took a look at the main house of Niu's house where nothing happened, and was still dragged by Niu Ju to a secluded place.

Along the way, Niu Ju was obviously in a bad mood, grabbed Sheng Jiaojiao's wrist, and walked forward with her head down.

Sheng Jiaojiao didn't say a word, just followed Niu Ju to walk like this, walking, and came to a loess slope, Niu Ju sat down on the ground and cried:

"Jiaojiao, what did you come to see me for? Did you come to see my joke?"
