Wind and Rain Empire

Xingyuanfu Military Camp

Ji Xiang and Xiao Si rode back from outside the camp, dismounted and walked to Lan Xueyi, who was training soldiers

Little Four Archers

"General, just as the intelligence said, if you go straight north from our camp for more than 1000 miles, you will be Xia Guo's Zhongxing Mansion, but after leaving Mian County, you will be in Jin Guo's territory. If you don't encounter Jin soldiers patrolling Forget it, it’s a bit of a backlash if we encounter it, with the strength of our small team, we are no match for the Jin Kingdom’s army.”

Lan Xueyi raised his hand, beckoning the soldiers to take a break, and then said to Xiaosi

"We have already discussed this. The best way is to go straight from Jin Kingdom. If you can't go, you can only go through Tubo. If you don't know when you will go around, it will be far more than that." a thousand miles away"

At this time, Jixiang popped up, holding a scroll of pictures in his hand.

"So the good news is that not only is there a shortcut, but it is also very secret, and will never be discovered by the Jin people (unfold the map in his hand) This is the map handed down from Huizong's time, and this is drawn on it (right hand pointing to the map part of the previous straight line) is here”

Lan Xueyi looked at the map carefully and asked Jixiang

"This...is a secret passage?"

auspicious nod

"That's right. At that time, a general recruited local civilians to dig a tunnel out of a nearby cave, and the end of the tunnel is here (use your left finger)"

Lan Xueyi said in surprise

"This is Ning County? Isn't that near Chang'an? Then this tunnel was discovered by the Jin people long ago?"

Ji Xiang waved his finger

"It's useless to find out, because the road on our side has been blocked by stones (then refers to the map). There are two secret roads, one is from our Mian County to Ning County, and the second is from Ning County to Zhong In Ning County, there are three or four miles between the two secret roads, and there are four entrances and exits in total. From the entrance of the second secret road to Zhongning County, you will just enter the border of Xia State. These two secret roads are for Emperor Huizong to attack It was cultivated against Xixia, and when it was just completed, it caught up with the invasion of the Jin people, and the shame of Jingkang, so it is considered to be the end of the cultivation.”

Lan Xueyi smiled emotionally

"Hey, it's ridiculous. The secret path used to attack Xixia is now used to protect the descendants of Xixia. It's really a turn of events (turning point). The problem before us is to open the entrance of the secret path, and then let my senior brother Send them in with Siqin?"

"That's right, but General, we still need to consider whether the other three openings are opened. If they are sealed by soil and stones, what should we do?"

Little Four worriedly looked at Lan Xueyi

Lan Xueyi pondered for a while

"That's a problem, I'll figure it out"

Mian County Market

Xiaosi and Lan Xueyi led the horses and walked straight in the market, people around came and went

"Hey general, is the old man you're talking about the same one who knelt down to ask you to save his granddaughter last time?"

Lan Xueyi looked at the nearby houses

"yes"

"Does their family make firecrackers?"

"yes"

Xiao Si also looked at the surrounding houses and sighed with emotion.

"You and Jixiang have to put out the fire in his house, otherwise the whole market will become a special place for fireworks, and it will be burned to the ground"

Lan Xueyi proudly

"So the folks here are very grateful to me. If I ask the old man for help, he shouldn't ignore me, right?"

Xiaosi looked unsure

"It's hard to say. Modern people don't know how to repay their kindness. General, I don't think you should have too high expectations."

Lan Xueyi flicked Xiao Si's forehead

"Little Four, don't think so badly about people's hearts"

At this time, she saw the house on the top of the hill that was once on fire.

"It's here, I'll go see if the old man is at home, Xiao Si, wait for me here"

Throw the rein to Xiaosi, and Xiaosi catches it

At the door of the room, Lan Xueyi knocked on the door and asked

"Is there anyone at home?"

The door opened with a creak, and a little girl and an old lady were standing inside the door. The old lady was about to kneel down when she saw Lan Xueyi.

"Grandpa!"

Lan Xueyi hurriedly helped the old lady up

"Don't kneel, don't kneel, if you have something to say, I'm afraid you won't be able to get up on your knees"

The old lady was helped to stand up

"Grandpa, come in and sit down."

Lan Xueyi quickly waved his hand

"No, no, no, no, I just came to see the old man, is he at home?"

"He's not at home. Today, Wu Xiuxiu, the daughter of Yuan Wu's family, threw a hydrangea. Your uncle went out to watch the fun."

Lan Xueyi felt very surprised after hearing this

"Throwing hydrangea? (Internal monologue) In what year are you still throwing hydrangea? (Ask the old lady) So ma'am, where is the venue for throwing hydrangea?"

The old lady pointed the way for Lan Xueyi

"Go out and walk on the street. When you reach the end, turn left and there is an open space. There is often a table there. That's it. (Looking at Lan Xueyi) Engong, you don't look like you have a family at a young age. You might as well consider building one. It's hilarious!"

Lan Xueyi pointed at herself

"Me? (waving hand) I don't need it, I just went to find the old man"

her inner monologue

"I just got into trouble because I love to join in the fun. Now I finally figured it out, but I can't join in the fun anymore."

Lan Xueyi regained his composure and said to the old lady

"Then aunt, take care, I'm going to find the old man!"

"Grandpa, don't you really want to sit for a while?...Then you go slowly and come to sit often!"

Xiao Si looked around boredly on the street, Lan Xueyi patted him on the shoulder

"General, are you back?

Xiao Si looked behind Lan Xueyi, seeing that no one was there.

"What about the old man?"

"The old man is not at home, he said he went to see the hydrangea throwing."

Xiao Si couldn't hold back, laughed out loud, and covered his mouth with his hand

"Throwing hydrangea? What year are you still playing this?"

Lan Xueyi also felt helpless

"That's what you said, what kind of Wu Xiuxiu from Wu Yuanwai's family?"

Little Four rubbed his chin in thought

"Yo, the name should be a beauty"

"I don't care if she is beautiful or not, but we have to find that old man right away."

little four nodded

"What the general said is, let's go find it before it's too late."

The two came to the square where the hydrangea was thrown and looked at the crowd

"There are so many people here, General, how do you find that old man here?"

Xiao Si asked Lan Xueyi, Lan Xueyi looked around and found that there was a taller building next to the open space.

Lan Xueyi vs Xiaosi

"You search for people one by one below, do you still remember what that old man looks like?"

"Uh, I don't remember much, but there shouldn't be many people at that age who come to see hydrangea throwing, right?"

Lan Xueyi thought about it

"It's true, anyway, if you look at the same one, just drag him away."

"Yes, General"

Lan Xueyi used lightness kung fu to jump to the balcony on the top floor, looked at the crowd coming and going downstairs, and saw Xiaosi pushing through the crowd downstairs to find

As the hydrangea throwing participants increased one by one, a veiled woman also walked to the balcony on the top floor

Lan Xueyi was still looking for the old man, the masked woman frowned and asked Lan Xueyi in a low voice.

"General, are you looking for someone? Why don't you go down to catch the hydrangea?"

Lan Xueyi didn't pay attention to that girl at all.

"Oh, girl, this general is looking for someone, girl, are you looking for someone too?"

The masked woman replied lightly

"That's right"

Lan Xueyi shuddered fiercely, her inner monologue

"Oh no, she's Wu Xiuxiu who threw the hydrangea, right? I can't make trouble anymore (to the masked woman) What the girl said is, this general will go down now"

When Lan Xueyi flew down the stairs, she caught a glimpse of the old man, but the old man had already been grabbed by Xiao Si. Unexpectedly, as soon as she landed, the hydrangea flew into her arms, and Lan Xueyi immediately stuffed the hydrangea to Xiao Si beside her.

Xiaosi was taken aback, took the hydrangea made of colored cloth and asked Lan Xueyi

"General, what is this?"

Lan Xueyi scratched her face in embarrassment

"It should be... the hydrangea, right? (Hold the old man) Old man, I have something to discuss with you, come with me."

Lan Xueyi pulled the old man away from the crowd, leaving only Xiao Si standing in the crowd blankly, the crowd was in an uproar, the masked woman upstairs saw that Lan Xueyi had left, she patted the railing dissatisfied, and left angrily. go

Lan Xueyi and the old man were sitting in a restaurant, the old man looked at Lan Xueyi in confusion.

"Benefactor, why did you drag me here?"

"Old man, I heard that your family makes firecrackers before, and I have something to ask you (pause, ask in a low voice) that is, can you make mountain explosives?"

Uncle didn't care

"Hey, you're just asking about this! Firecrackers and explosives have the same principle, but the proportions are different. What's wrong with that? I thought you were going to ask something serious, Mr. Gong."

Lan Xueyi breathed a sigh of relief

"Since you know how, you can go to the site with me today to have a look. Then you can see how much you need, and we will purchase together."

old man sighed

"Grandpa, this is what our family does, and you have saved my family's life. We are willing to give you as much as you want, so there is no need to go shopping."

"Hey, that's not what I said. Favors belong to favors, business belongs to business, one size is one size"

Lan Xueyi took out a piece of silver from his pocket and handed it to the old man.

"This is a down payment"

The old man hurriedly pushed away

"Engong, why do you think you are doing this?"

Lan Xueyi and the old man pushed back and forth

"Old man, if you want to be polite to me like this again, I won't be polite to you. I'll find someone else to do it."

The old man looked at Lan Xueyi with a serious face

"This……"

He reluctantly accepted the money with a look of embarrassment on his face

"Hey, that's right, you come with me now"

Lan Xueyi got up and patted the table, while the old man looked blank

"Here... how do we go? Just go like this?"

"By the way, where's the horse?"

Lan Xueyi thought about it

"Yeah, there's another little four, I forgot about him"

At this moment, Xiao Si was looking at Wu Yuanwai's magnificent and magnificent living room. Wu Yuanwai brought his wife and Wu Xiuxiu into the living room. Wu Yuanwai and Mrs. Wu sat on chairs, while Wu Xiuxiu stood aside.

Wu Yuanwai saw Xiaosi and laughed

"Oh, this is still a military lord, why do you want to grab the hydrangea?"

Xiaosi replied in a good voice

"I was passing by looking for someone, not to grab the hydrangea, but to tell you that you misunderstood, let's throw it again."

Mrs. Wu looked at Xiaosi

"Dare to ask this military master's name? How old is this year?"

Xiao Si just looked at the room and answered absent-mindedly

"Miangui's surname is Xu. The fourth eldest child in the family is called Xu Xiaosi. He has a wife and a son."

Member Wu showed displeasure

"Then you still come to grab my Xiuxiu's hydrangea?"

Little four is angry

"I said I was passing by, are you fucking deaf?"

The servant ran in from the house

"My lord, a general came outside the house, saying that he is the superior of this military lord, he is here to take this military lord away"

Wu Yuanwai and Mrs. Wu looked at each other

"What's the matter...then, let him come in"

Lan Xueyi walked in, saluted Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Wu

"Lan has met the grandfather, wife, and miss"

Member Wu saw Lan Xueyi, his eyes lit up instantly, and he stood up to meet him.

"Presumably this general is General Lan who saved our market a few days ago?"

Lan Xueyi bowed his hands respectfully

"Member Wu praised me absurdly. It's just this general. It's just a matter of little effort."

Wu Xiuxiu pointed at Lan Xueyi

"Father, it was the general who gave the hydrangea to the military master, and it was he who threw the hydrangea in the first place!"

Lan Xueyi smiled lightly

"That's right, what Ms. Wu said is true"

Mrs. Wu slapped the chair and stood up

"That's great, how old is the general?"

"Ben will be 22 years old this year"

"Then, is the general married?"

"no"

Xiao Si almost burst out laughing.

Mrs. Wu stepped forward and held Wu Yuanwai

"Then...Master, this General Lan is the most suitable candidate for our family"

Lan Xueyi heard this again, so he quickly clarified

"Mrs. Wu, please allow me to... (interrupted)"

Wu Yuanwai nodded his head

"Very good, that's it"

Lan Xueyi suddenly spoke loudly

"The general has a suggestion, Mr. Wu, can you listen to me? The general suggests that you throw the hydrangea again."

Wu Yuanwai looked at Lan Xueyi very puzzled.

"Such a good match, why did the general suggest that we throw it again?"

Lan Xueyi pointed at herself

"Because this general is a woman"

Xiaosi also pointed at Lan Xueyi

"Because she's a woman!"

Wu Xiuxiu was also surprised

"What? A woman?"

Mrs. Wu was also surprised, "What? Is it a woman?" She almost fainted

Member Wu looked puzzled at Lan Xueyi

"You...how did this happen? You lied to us, right?"

Lan Xueyi couldn't laugh or cry

"It's true, why did you lie to you? Besides, who would make fun of such a thing?"

Member Wu stepped back and sat down on the chair, holding his forehead

"How did this happen... (Looking at Mrs. Wu) It seems that I can only throw it again"

Lan Xueyi looked at the family, shook his head and laughed

"If you don't dislike me as a woman, you can marry your daughter to me, I don't care!"

She smiled and winked at Wu Xiuxiu, then turned her head and walked out of Wu Yuan's house with Xiaosi
