"Okay, I don't do anything else, just look after the children, and you give me the monthly pay as before. Huang Wan didn't mind.

But Ding Kui minds, all the fine gears have to be made by Huang Wan, and he is not at ease when he hands them over to others.

"Just kidding, your master knows he's going to kill me, and you'll have to ask him to open a tunnel for the railroad in the future. ”

The Hump Mountain Tunnel was opened by Fang Chen with a group of disciples, and the construction of the railway is a long-term project, and there will be many places for Ding Kui to ask for help with Fang Chen in the future.

"By the way, why haven't you seen Master Fang recently?"

"Well, it's not because of Shi Shizu. Huang Wan's expression became unnatural.

The stone ancestor in her mouth is the stone foundation that was killed by Ding Kui with one move, and the stone foundation is Fang Zhen's uncle, a genuine master and ancestor.

"I heard that the Southern Demon Branch didn't plan to pursue Shi Ji's death, and Brother Xie didn't know it when he killed him. Ding Kui sent Cai Ran to Nanjing City to inquire.

"It was President Shizu who asked the teacher to go back, so I don't know the specific situation. ”

Fang Zhen didn't know about Shi Ji, and he didn't know Taixuan's attitude, so he didn't say too much to Huang Wan so as not to be suspicious.

Ding Kui felt a little uneasy when he heard this, and at this moment, Haimeng Thorn entered the house and reported: "The housekeeper wants to ask the master, do you want to announce the news?"

He woke up to the fact that many people were waiting for news from the Earl's Palace, so he said, "Announce, herald, Nanmarsh State is exempt from tax for three days." ”

"By the way, just now you said that the bounty of 100 gold is not including us?" Lu Ying looked at his senior brother directly. "What do you want money for? Does the Earl's Court treat you badly?" Ding Kui knew that she was not a greedy person, and it was a bit unusual to suddenly take the initiative to ask for money.

"I also have a place to spend money, don't I want to entertain my brothers when they come to Juyang City? I usually don't need money to buy good things when I see them? A hundred gold, I can buy a lot of things." ”

Ding Kui found that Lu Ying's clothes, jewelry, and outfit were more upgrade than before, and more luxurious than Long Yan beside him.

"Well, my sister is a big girl, and she should learn to spend money. He nodded, "As for you, you don't have to compete with your subordinates for rewards, if you are short of money, you can ask your sister-in-law Long Yan, you want to spend as much as you want, your own money will be kept by your side as pocket money, and the Ding family can raise an extra eldest lady." ”

"Really?" Lu Ying's eyes widened, "How much do you want?" Happiness came too suddenly, and she couldn't accept it for a while.

"Silly girl, why don't you tell me if you lack money to spend?" Long Yan grabbed Lu Ying, "If your senior brother doesn't mention it, I will give it to you, your father and mother are not around, we should take care of you, and my dowry is enough for you to squander." ”

She often heard Ding Kui mention the concept of "poor men and rich women", being strict with her son and lenient with her daughter in terms of money, and a noble lady who spends money lavishly will not make too many friends from her family.

Ding Kui treats Lu Ying like his own sister, and naturally raises her as a young lady of the Earl's Court, hoping that she will associate with friends with similar family backgrounds.

"Okay!" The excited Lu Ying hugged Long Yan and kissed Jingjing by the way, "Giggles, Aunt Apple kisses the baby." Jingjing smiled.

This is the idea that Ding Kui has instilled in his daughter since he was a child, no matter who kisses him, he must say it, and he can know who is secretly being instilled by his daughter.

"Well, the baby is good, you can't go out alone with Aunt Apple in the future. Ding Kui reminded his daughter by the way.

"The second uncle came to visit with Commander Yi and Commander Xing. Sea Dream Thorn returned to the room.

"Okay, I'll go out to greet you right away!" Ding Kui handed his son to Li Fei and glanced at Long Yan.

Jiang Xi came, and Long Yan naturally wanted to take Jiang Jing to greet him.

Ding Kui opened the middle door to welcome the three new guests, and after greetings, he took Jingjing's little hand, pointed at Jiang Xi and said, "Call the second uncle." ”

"Two, two, Zhou Gong. "The child has slurred speech.

"It's two! uncle!" Ding Kui hurriedly corrected.

"Okay, what do children know!" Jiang Xi pushed Ding Kui away and opened his arms to Jingjing, "Come, let my uncle hug me." ”

Jingjing's eyes rolled slightly, she didn't remember Jiang Xi she had seen when she was a child, and Long Yan behind her bent down and said, "Uncle hugged you when you were very young, go quickly." ”

Ding Kui's daughter is not a timid child, she was encouraged by her mother and immediately rushed forward: "Zhou, Zhou Gong, hug." ”

"It's uncle!" Ding Kui was still correcting.

Jiang Xi picked up Jingjing and turned his head to avoid the little hand that was grabbing his beard, "Ouch, that can't be pulled, Jingjing is good! ”

An entourage came up from behind, holding a pink chubby little animal in his hand, Ding Kui almost fainted when he saw it, it wasn't what a "grass mud horse" was!

It was a "grass mud horse" that was less than three months old, and Jiang Xi ordered someone to bring it from Pingzhong County.

Jingjing's eyes were immediately attracted by the small animal, and she didn't grab Jiang Xi's beard with both hands.

"Hehe, its name is Jingbao, and it will be Jingjing's baby in the future. Jiang Xi was very satisfied with his niece's and granddaughter's expression.

"Master Jiang is so thoughtful! We big bosses don't have such good things. The other two legion commanders each ordered someone to send a gift to Jiang Jing.

Yi Sheng sent a doll made of pure gold, and the weight was no more than a catty.

Xing Bao sent a trap box, and as soon as the trap was pressed, two villains jumped out to fight, with a strong Longjia style.

"Please come in quickly, Jingjing has been delayed. Ding Kui then led the guests into the Earl's Palace.

"The second uncle came by coincidence, your nephew and grandson were just born. He walked in side by side with Jiang Xi, Yi Sheng and Xing Bao were half a step behind, and Long Yan held Jingjing at the end.

"I heard about it outside, congratulations on your happy son, there is a successor to the old Ding family! My brother-in-law is really, he is not here at this time! How can he be someone's grandfather!" Jiang Xi noticed that Ding Qi hadn't shown up for a long time.

Ding Qi's disappearance is one of the top secrets of the Ding family, and not many people know about it.

"Well," Ding Kui said in a low voice, "my father has an important business overseas, and he can't return anytime soon, and my nephew can't contact him." ”

He found that people on the mainland knew very little about overseas, and some unexplained things could be excused overseas.

"Don't want to make progress! Your grandfather is not wrong to let him go back to the old mansion!" Jiang Xi hated iron and steel, "Don't talk about him, I heard that you are going to Shouyang City?"

"Yes, Shaodian Rong sent an envoy to invite me and Luan'er. It is impossible to dispel the idea of my own country interfering in our country, and it is better to find out what they really think. Ding Kui didn't hide it.

"Well, that's not a bad idea. The queen is your aunt, and the invitation of the elders cannot be refused, I guess she will not harm you, and it doesn't hurt to go and see. With me watching at home, you don't have to worry. "Jiang Xi can understand the exchanges between the two countries.

Yi Sheng and Xing Bao exchanged glances and said together: "Lord Ding, please travel away with peace of mind, your subordinates will definitely do their best to ensure the safety of the imperial court." ”

As they spoke, they walked to the main hall, and the early guests came to the courtyard to greet them.

Today's theme is naturally to congratulate Ding Kui on having an additional son, Ding Kui's trip to his own country is only known to a few high-level officials, and it is inconvenient to continue chatting in the main hall.

There was a big feast in the Earl's Palace, and the heads of the small court gathered together, with half of the five ministries of the Government Council and the two ministries of the Commander's Office.

The government affairs of Zhenjing City completely stood on the opposite side of Ding Kui, and the new government affairs yuan of the small imperial court did not give them face at all, but the equipment of the commander's mansion and the logistics department still maintained an ambiguous attitude, so Ding Kui did not build a new commander's mansion.

The General Staff Department originally belonged to the Ding family, and Jiang Xi had served as the commander of the Ministry for many years, so the small imperial court had reason to claim that he was in control of the General Staff; the former commander of the Military Command Department was treasonous, and the new commander was unpopular, and Ding Kui had enough strength to represent the Military Command Department.

The officials talked about government affairs, the generals talked about military affairs, and Ding Kui and Jiang Xi naturally talked about Weiguo County at this table.

Xing Baodao: "My next step should be to take Duping County first and block the road for Weiguo County to support Nanjing City." ”

"It is easy to concentrate troops first, and then it is difficult to concentrate troops, if it is easy, it is naturally to attack Yanling County first, and Nanjing City and Gongsun's family are beyond the reach of the whip if they want to rescue. "Yi Sheng has a different opinion.

Their eyes focused on Lei Feixiang together, "Little General Lei, what do you see?"

Lei Feixiang represented the Red Army and was barely on an equal footing with the commander of the regular army.

"This, listen to Lord Ding. "He didn't dare to express his opinion, and whoever he supported would offend the other.

"If you want to go north, you must first calm the hidden dangers in the south, and it is too early to say. "Ding Kui is not like openly letting a certain commander not come down.

"Take the initiative to challenge to have a way to win, don't look at the defeat of Nanjing City, that is because they are not well prepared, the attack on Shibu County at the beginning of the year exposed many problems, once the local preparations, it will definitely bring trouble to our army.

The local army of Nannuma Prefecture was unable to form combat effectiveness in a hurry, but after half a year of training, they already had the strength to fight, and our recruits needed at least twice the training time, and if the veterans suffered too many losses, our strength would be greatly weakened.

I'm not against you recovering more of the disobedient places, but I want you to have a way to win, and not to suffer too much damage, and if I ask the prison state for my life, let you fight. "Jiang Xi's approach is much more sophisticated.

Now fighting a county with one army, no one dares to say that they can win on the premise of less battle losses, and Nanjing City is not a soft persimmon to be kneaded.

Yi Sheng and Xing Bao invariably aimed at Ding Kui, who was still the commander of the Eighth Army.

Ding Kui shook his head and said, "I received news that many foreign magicians have gathered in Nanjing City, and I heard that they are going to join the local army, and I am not sure that I can easily capture a county. ”

Shaodianxi hired magicians with a lot of money, which attracted a lot of idle magicians from other places, according to the latest data, there are about five hundred.

Level 6 fighters are not allowed to participate in the war in Nannuma Prefecture, and the number of mages becomes the key to winning the battle.

"Give me another half a year, the Twentieth Legion is in the special training crossbow brigade, and when they master the crossbow proficiently, they will not be afraid of magicians. Yi Sheng got to the point.

The time for the regular legion to change the crossbow was too short, and the original archers were not suitable for equipping the crossbow, and needed more powerful infantry to use it, but the accuracy of the infantry was too poor to shoot the magicians flying in the air.
