Chapter 57 Delaying the engagement

Ni Qiu is still recruiting troops in Guandu, but he was summoned to the imperial city soon. Ni Qiu came to the front of King Si and had visited everyone one by one, but he thought in his heart why he was coming.

Seeing that Ni Qiu was wearing a black military uniform and carrying a three-star on his shoulder, he was quite imposing. He was thin and neither arrogant nor humble. Since he was a battalion-level instructor, he should have some strategy, so he spoke, "Ni Qiu, I have something to ask for. You also know that Lin Guo and Princess Guo Yingying of our company have a engagement. If I want to terminate this engagement, do you think how to explain it to Lin Guo best?"

After hearing this, Ni Qiu thought for a while and replied: "King Si, our company is fighting with Hu, so in terms of current situation, our company should not terminate the engagement with Lin and avoid establishing a strong enemy."

Si Wang nodded. Ni Qiu had a good analysis of the current situation, so he said, "You are right. Then I just delayed the engagement with Lin Guo. How can I complete it?"

"Delay the engagement?" Ni Qiu thought after hearing this, and replied after thinking, "I explained to the King of Lin that the current war with Hu, and it is still possible to delay the marriage. If Lin State is unwilling to postpone it, then he can ask Lin State to help eliminate the Hu army. However, I think Lin State is not stupid enough to dispatch the army for the sake of the marriage."

"Well, you have a good analysis. Since that's the case, I will send you to Linguo and delay the marriage. Is there any problem?" Si Wang Yin said to Ni Qiu with keen eyes.

"Since it is King Si's order, I will definitely implement it." Ni Qiu also understood the relationship between Si Yingying and Qian Xiaoxing. Seeing Qian Xiaoxingduan blinking at him, he would have owe a favor to help him deal with his wife's affairs this time.

Qian Xiaoxing walked up to Ni Qiu and said, "Ni Qiu, I'll trouble you this time. I will marry Yingying the next day. I will definitely toast a glass to thank you for your trip."

"Only by handling the matters at home can we fight against the matters outside. I have no choice but to do so for the sake of the State of Si. Chief of Staff, please be polite."

After Ni Qiu was polite, he was about to go back to prepare. Qian Xiaoxing grabbed Ni Qiu and said, "Lin Guo Lan Fei lived in Si for many years. I believe she had some feelings for our Si Guo. There is also Princess Zicui, who was also Princess Yingying's maid. You go find them and ask them to help mediate them. Things will go smoothly. Before you leave, I will send someone to send the mirror and you will give them a gift."

When Ni Qiu heard this, it turned out that Lin Guo still had an acquaintance, so this matter was much easier. He replied: "Well, since that's the case, then the Chief of Staff will wait for good news at home." After Ni Qiu said that, he turned around and went back to prepare for the envoy of Lin Guo.

After the meeting, Qian Xiaoxing saw that Si Yingying ignored him, turned around and left, and hurriedly chased after him: "Yingying, what's wrong with you? Are you angry?"

Si Yingying turned around and glanced at Qian Xiaoxing, but did not speak and continued to walk forward.

"Yingying, I know that it's wrong for me to not take your marriage to heart, but I'm too busy." Qian Xiaoxing said with an excuse.

Si Yingying couldn't help but answer: "You went to Yimu clan to see Hongyue, why didn't you see you? You didn't have me in your heart."

Seeing Si Yingying's angry look, Qian Xiaoxing hurriedly grabbed Si Yingying's hand and said, "I have you in my heart, if you don't believe me, please touch me."

Si Yingying got rid of Qian Xiaoxing's pull and said angrily: "Don't touch it, I'm afraid that there will be someone else in your heart."

It seems that Si Yingying was really angry this time. Qian Xiaoxing had no choice but to hug Si Yingying and forced a kiss. Si Yingying's mouth was kissed, her eyes widened and she screamed. She struggled but couldn't get rid of it. She rushed to Qian Xiaoxing's stomach, and Qian Xiaoxing let go in pain.

Seeing Qian Xiaoxing's pain, Si Yingying felt a little embarrassed, but she still said, "I deserve it. Whoever asked you to kiss me? If you dare to come again, I will hit you again."

Qian Xiaoxing rubbed his stomach, his little fist was quite strong. He opened one hand to Si Yingying, held back the pain and said with difficulty: "Put me five more punches, I want to kiss you five more times."

After hearing this, Si Yingying smiled and said, "You are so shameless." Seeing that Qian Xiaoxing was still covering her stomach, she stepped forward and rubbed Qian Xiaoxing with her little hands. Qian Xiaoxing felt the warmth and softness of the hand and said, "I won't beat you anymore, you gave up on yourself." After that, Qian Xiaoxing hugged Si Yingying and gave another fierce and passionate kiss.

After a while, Si Yingying was kissed by Qian Xiaoxing and scolded: "You kissed me, but I didn't stop my hands. I've been touching for so long, so I can let go."

Qian Xiaoxing looked at his hands climbing on the peaks and said embarrassedly: "I don't know when this will be touched. By the way, the elasticity has been getting better and better recently. Yingying, do you have a secret?"

"I won't tell you!" Si Yingying turned around and ran away shyly.

Seeing Si Yingying running away like a butterfly, Qian Xiaoxing added a lip. When will he get what he wants and push Si Yingying to? If it is pushed, such a thing would not happen today. It is guaranteed that Si Yingying will be obedient. Qian Xiaoxing thought evilly in his mind.

When he came outside, he saw that Lu Shengzhong had been waiting for him here for a long time. Qian Xiaoxing was also worried about the defense construction of Panlong Pass in his heart. He rode his horse with Lu Shengzhong and headed to Panlong Pass.

Along the way, Qian Xiaoxing mentioned Biyao’s recent situation. Although Lu Shengzhong did not answer, he listened carefully, not wanting to miss a word. When he heard Biyao say that he would not go to find her again, he was about to come to him. He was suddenly panicked and asked Qian Xiaoxing, "Seventh brother, what should I do if she really came here?"

"Do whatever you want, three or four times a night, whatever you want!" Qian Xiaoxing said with a smile.

"Seventh brother, you..." Lu Shengzhong was embarrassed when he heard this, and waved his whip and ran away quickly. Qian Xiaoxing looked at Lu Shengzhong and laughed. Lu Shengzhong was really thin-skinned about men and women.

After a while, the two arrived at Panlong Pass. When the defenders saw Lu Shengzhong and Qian Xiaoxing coming to inspect, they all stood at attention. Qian Xiaoxing saw that the city wall towards Hu was already increasing. Two floors have been added, and the third floor is being built at accelerating.

It has been half a month since the last construction started, and at most half a month, Hu Jun will come. Qian Xiaoxing saw the construction progress and there should be no problem completing it on time.

Lu Shengzhong led Qian Xiaoxing out of Panlong Pass and came to the front of the cement retaining wall array. Qian Xiaoxing climbed up a retaining wall about one meter high. Looking around, the open space in front of him had already erected retaining walls of various shapes. Seeing that the cement was gradually drying, it would be as hard as a stone. He nodded with satisfaction. If Hu Jun's rushing car and siege car lost their effect in the cement retaining wall array, it would be almost impossible to seize Panlong Pass by force.

Lu Shengzhong said: "Seventh brother, this three-story arrow tower will probably be completed in one week. There are two catapult platforms on the top of the peak. It can be done in just a few days. The catapult and crossbow machine will be installed soon. The power will be very strong at that time."

"The power is definitely strong, but the ammunition must be prepared sufficiently. Don't be a decoration because there is no ammunition at that time. Our weapons to attack the enemy are basically bows and arrows, and this feather arrow must be prepared fully." Qian Xiaoxing reminded.

Lu Shengzhong agreed and said, "At present, Yang Sishi's arsenal is not very crowded. I have mobilized many people to help make bows and arrows. I guess we can reserve 200,000 pieces by then. If the other party is a 100,000 Hu army, it should be almost the same."

“Yeah, the more the better!”

"There are also wooden rail lanes under construction. They have been laid for thirty miles. From Panlong Pass to Guandu, from Guandu to Liufeng City, they are all laid and connected. By then, transporting materials will be very fast and convenient." Lu Shengzhong said.

Qian Xiaoxing reminded: "Well, this lane is not only used to transport goods, but also can carry people. At that time, the troops are mobilized, and soldiers do not need to run. After getting on the car, a small number of horses can be used to mobilize a large number of soldiers, saving the soldiers' physical strength."

In the past, transporting grain and grass supplies required a large number of logistics personnel to participate. If the grain and grass transportation destination is far away, these logistics personnel would have to eat a lot of food. Therefore, when they finally arrived at the destination, the grain and grass were only 20% or 30% of the initial transportation, which consumed a lot. In the future, with wooden rail lanes, the transportation speed was accelerated, and the logistics personnel could also reduce it a lot, so the efficiency of transportation would be greatly improved, and finally reaching the destination, at least 80%.

After hearing Qian Xiaoxing's tip, Lu Shengzhong nodded and replied: "Yes, this method is good, which can save the soldiers' physical strength and make them more energetic when killing enemies."

When Qian Xiaoxing heard the killing of the enemy, he remembered the powerful combat effectiveness of the Yimu clan warriors in the jungle, and asked: "Brother Zhong, from Hu Kingdom to Panlong Pass, there are dense forests along the way?"

Lu Shengzhong thought for a while and said, "Yes, Seventh Brother, have you forgotten it? It's the Black Dragon Path, with forests on both sides."

"Brother Zhong, you know I have always been not very sensitive to the road. How long is that black dragon path?" Qian Xiaoxing asked.

"It's probably about ten miles." Lu Shengzhong asked in confusion: "Seventh brother, what are you asking about this?"
