Chapter eight hundred and sixty eight: official business
Di Zhong walked over with a smile. His calm eyes made Xiao Yibai feel the difference in just a moment. He looked at the wisteria petals lightly and asked, "Is there anything wrong with this flower?"
Xiao Yibai understood the meaning and did not pretend to do anything with him and said bluntly: "The remaining spell on the flower is the Mirror of the Moon. There should have been about half an hour vacant last night. A second ago, we were drinking and talking together in the courtyard.
, you suddenly disappeared the next second. You said she was drunk and went back to her room to rest. It was obviously a very far-fetched reason, but no one including me... seemed to have noticed anything was wrong, until I just just now
I saw wisteria petals in the courtyard, and then I discovered the Mirror of the Moon that remained on them. My brother would definitely not be able to perceive such interference without being aware of it."
"It took me one night to realize that it was already pretty good. I actually thought you wouldn't notice it." Di Zhong bent down to pick up the petals on the ground, and gently swayed his spiritual power with his fingertips to completely erase the remaining traces of the spell.
, before Xiao Yibai could ask anything, he took the initiative to tell the story again exactly as he had said before. However, Xiao Yibai looked at him expressionlessly, without any emotion in his eyes, but looked at him slightly.
The person in the side room lowered his voice, "Is this what you just said to her? Doesn't she have any doubts at all?"
A slightly mysterious smile appeared on the corner of Di Zhong's mouth. He looked at Xiao Yibai's back with a look of awe. He suppressed his anger and asked: "Do you think she is really that easy to deceive, or does she just trust you unreservedly?"
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Yibai clearly felt a dangerous gaze falling on his shoulder. He gently touched the petals in his hand, then crushed them into powder with a slight force and spread them away, seemingly calm.
He replied: "As long as I say it, it is true."
Xiao Yibai didn't reply, and the other party turned away without hesitation. It wasn't until Di Zhong's back disappeared from sight that he nervously walked over and knocked on the door. Yun Xiao had already gotten up, and she was arranging clean clothes and towels.
Seeing him coming, I hurriedly poked my head over, raised my hand with a smile and said hello: "Brother, didn't you just wake up from sleep? The day is getting hot so fast, I was about to go out and ask for some tea, so we can find a bathtub together.
Taking a bath."
Xiao Yibai's eyes seemed to pass over her inadvertently. Although he was worried, he still kept a smile on his face and asked: "The stamina of the fruit wine is quite strong. Are you... are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Yun Xiao wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked at her face as she looked normal. She nodded: "I'm fine. It's okay."
Xiao Yibai didn't dare to ask any more questions. He hesitated for a while before asking in a low voice: "Brothers and sisters, what's going on with Qianye..."
"I know." Yun Xiao didn't seem to be surprised, but more worried, and whispered, "He told me that Qianye was injured after a hard battle with Zhonglan, and now all the bones in his body are
It was loose, and all the internal organs were not in their original positions. Such a serious injury always refused to take a good rest, so he forced his hand. But don't worry, brother, Qianye will definitely get better soon.
.”
Xiao Yibai's heart moved slightly. He was startled for a moment by such a clear and clear answer. He nodded with a wry smile and told her to be careful.
Just as Di Zhong said swornly, Yun Xiao trusted him so much that she would not have the slightest doubt no matter what he said. But the more sincere her trust was, the more she would completely collapse when the truth was revealed.
Bar?
It was almost afternoon. Emperor Zhong had just arrived at the military pavilion at this hour. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Deputy General Mu Xizhao pacing anxiously from side to side. When he looked up and saw him striding over like a life-saving straw, he breathed a sigh of relief and reported:
"Young Pavilion Master, you are here. Generals, instructors from the four realms, and lecturers from various universities came here early this morning. I should have invited you here earlier, but Marshal Si Tian said that you
I was drunk last night and may not be able to wake up for a while, so I asked you to wait here. Come in quickly, the spring election has just ended, and we are waiting for your arrangements."
Di Zhong nodded calmly, and while quickly recalling what Xiao Qianye had done before, he calmly sat down in his seat. The specific divisions of the ten armies of the four realms were neatly displayed on the table.
From the subordinate generals to the deputy generals, the captains clearly understand that the scale of the military pavilion has expanded several times compared to five years ago. The number of personnel in each team has increased significantly. More people means more right and wrong. Sooner or later, there will be new ones.
When a struggle arises, if I try to be as loyal and responsible as ever and handle it personally, I'm afraid I will be so busy that I won't be able to spare time to spend time with her.
When he thought of these things, Di Zhong didn't want to look at those piles of files anymore, but then he thought of "having nothing to do" in Yun Xiao's mouth. He coughed and forced himself to calm down and read through it carefully. This should be the spring election.
Later, the training arrangements for newly recruited soldiers will be formulated according to the geographical environment of the four realms and the characteristics of the alien beast regiment to which they belong. For this purpose, Moge specially selected five experienced instructors to be responsible for the first training of the recruits.
If you are found to be unqualified during the training, you will be sent back to the original school to retake it, and the corresponding instructor will also be punished.
Emperor Zhong glanced to the side thoughtfully. After the merger of the Forbidden Army, the instructor responsible for the security of the Imperial City was Sha Hanfei. This man was dismissed from his post for offending Gao Chengchuan. He was re-employed a few years ago. He is a
A man who hates evil and is very responsible.
Suddenly, a strange idea popped up involuntarily, and before he could react, he asked out of nowhere: "Instructor Sha, I would like to arrange for someone to help you guide the training of this year's recruits..."
Before he finished speaking, Di Zhong grinned awkwardly and couldn't help laughing. Sha Hanfei curiously looked at his unfinished expression and asked: "This is strange. You personally recommended it."
Who are these people?”
"Um... well... this." He paused before he could speak. His sudden smile was like a mountain and flowing water, with clear light and shadow floating faintly. Everyone was slightly startled, and at the same time they felt an inexplicable sense of violation.
Feeling harmonious, Di Zhong didn't notice that the surrounding eyes became surprised. His mind was filled with Yun Xiao's excited look just now, with his eyes shining and eager to get ready. He ignored the secular rules and said, "It's...my wife, Yun Xiao."
.”
Sha Hanfei's expectant face turned stiff for a second. It took him a long time before he exchanged glances with the other instructors around him and said calmly: "No matter how much you pamper her, Young Pavilion Master, you have to look at the situation."
Right? She is a woman."
Di Zhong raised his eyes and faced Instructor Sha tit for tat without giving in. Feeling a little unhappy, he said coldly: "Her swordsmanship is no worse than that of men. I can even say that no man joining the army in this spring election can beat her."
"That's not okay, she is a woman." Sha Hanfei retorted in a stereotyped manner, not caring at all that the other party was his immediate superior, and continued to speak plausibly, "I'm not doubting her strength, she is the female swordsman of Kunlun Mountain. She is also the bloodline of the royal bird from the legendary Ukiyo Island. I naturally believe that she is stronger than most of the men in Feiyuan, but rules are rules. Your wife has an active, cheerful and lovable personality. You can rest assured to throw her away to all the young people. Do you want to disturb the morale of the army in the young man's military camp?"
"Disturbing the morale of the army?" Di Zhong repeated these four words indifferently, with a sharp smile on his lips, "Can a woman disturb the morale of the army? Then you instructors, lecturers and generals should all be dragged out and chopped. "
A trace of surprise flashed across Sha Hanfei's eyes, and then turned into a faint smile. Di Zhong glanced at them with a slight disdain and continued: "I wonder if any of you have dealt with foreigners in recent years. , how much do you know about them? A long time ago, when the three armies were not formally formed, the aliens had their own demon hunting organization, which spanned the four realms, from snowfields to deserts, from oasis to oceans, they were everywhere There are many figures, and among them there are many women who are not inferior to men. If you don’t know these people, then you must know one of them..."
His voice suddenly rose, and it was obviously a bit harsh: "Wen Yi is Feiyuan's first generation demon hunter, how is she inferior to men?"
Everyone was stunned and dumbfounded. Wen Yi... Wen Yi was the first queen's maiden name. How could he say it so brazenly and without regard for etiquette?
Di Zhong didn't seem to notice these details. Thinking of the heroic female witcher when they first met, he showed some admiration and murmured to himself: "Since this is the aftermath of the disaster, can some stubborn ideas also be used?" Should it be abandoned?”
"Young Pavilion Master..." Ye Zhuofan interrupted him in fear. He always felt that this man's words and deeds today were extremely strange. He awkwardly hugged the instructors and lecturers opposite and reminded in a low voice, "Young Pavilion Master, Army Your Majesty does not allow women to join the army. This rule was set by you yourself before. That year, you personally drove the three princesses to register for the autumn election. You won't forget it, right?"
Di Zhong turned his head stiffly and looked at Ye Zhuofan. Thinking of what had happened, he tapped his fingers on the table irritably. Originally, he just wanted to satisfy that guy's dream of a "female general" on a whim. Thinking that the military pavilion has such regulations, it is true that the complicated laws and regulations of human beings are really disappointing, but since the topic was brought up, Shahan raised his eyebrows and changed his words: "Although I can't let you pamper my wife like this, I have a similar proposal. In recent years, His Majesty has been kind-hearted and has opened more than 80 schools in the four realms. But as far as I know, these schools basically recruit male students, and the courses are mostly based on swordsmanship, riding and archery. The main focus is on martial arts. As for girls, except for those from well-off families who can hire teachers privately, most women still don’t have the opportunity to learn knowledge.”
"Instructor Sha means..." He asked thoughtfully. Sha Hanfei stood up and saluted, and continued, "The damage caused by the Shattering Disaster has been gradually restored, and the city is getting back on track little by little. , since His Majesty is willing to open the door for civilian students in the four realms, why not go to the end of the good and open another school for these naturally weak women, not to mention whether they should learn some self-defense, there is no harm in reading and literacy, if it is true If it can be completed, I hope that your lady will be able to teach them a lesson."
Di Zhong looked at him with admiration. He did not expect that such a matter of fighting for the interests of women would be said clearly and clearly from the mouth of the old man in front of him, who had strong muscles, dark skin, and a rough and bold appearance. He became interested for a moment,
He asked curiously: "Since Instructor Sha has such a kind heart, why didn't he raise it with Mo Ge directly?"
Sha Hanfei was a straightforward person, and he immediately let out a disdainful snort from his nose, and mocked: "Because Jingge is unwilling, saying that the national treasury is tight and cannot free up the money for the time being, those guys can go wherever they want.
If you save a little money, you can open a school for women. If you don't save where you should save, you will stingy where you shouldn't. The relationship between the Young Pavilion Master and Mr. Yan seems to be okay, why not find an opportunity?
Will you go talk to him?"
Di Zhong smiled lightly. Although Gongsun Yan looked like a lavish young master, there was nothing wrong with saying that he was a tough guy when it came to managing money.
