At this time, the sun is already high in the center of the sky, indicating that it is already noon, and it is time for lunch.
Tiandou City, in the courtyard of Suqin in the north of the city.
Su Qin put a few home-cooked dishes on the stone table in the yard, while sitting on the stone bench, picking up his chopsticks and preparing to eat.
[txt Novel www.txtyuan.com] 咚咚咚~
The door of the yard was suddenly knocked three times in a row, and an envelope came in through the crack of the door.
This is the secret signal used by Su Qin when he explained that Long Yushan and others sent more important news.
Su Qin frowned slightly, walked quickly to the door, picked up the letter, sat back at the stone table, and opened the envelope for inspection.
Prince Xuexing led twelve thousand troops and headed southwest.
The content of this letter is very simple, just one sentence.
Su Qin thought for a while, and then guessed the purpose of Prince Xue Xing. Prince Xue Xing probably represented the messenger of the Heaven Dou Empire and went to the border of the two countries to negotiate with the Xing Luo Empire.
But looking at the 12 thousand troops written on it, Su Qin was a little surprised. Is Prince Xue Xing brave? For other reasons, he dared to negotiate with the Star Luo Empire with only one thousand and two troops.
However, this idea quickly dissipated. Su Qin thought of the status quo of the Heaven Dou Empire. There were several sub-states within it. Since Prince Xue Xing was going to negotiate, there were more than twelve soldiers and horses. When a country is entrusted, it should add some troops.
However, since it was Prince Xue Xing, the negotiation would definitely not be so smooth this time.
A smile appeared on Su Qin's face, a little looking forward to what interesting things would happen.
At this moment, the gate of the courtyard was knocked once again.
"Su Qin, I'm here to visit you again."
A familiar voice came from outside the gate, and the owner of the voice was Prince Xue Qinghe.
Su Qin was stunned for a moment. Why did Xue Qinghe come?
Su Qin looked at the letter in his hand, only to understand in an instant that Xue Qinghe came to tell him about it.
"Brother Xue wait a moment, I'll open the door for you now."
Su Qin thought for a while, didn't put the letter away, but put it directly on the table, got up and opened the door for Xue Qinghe.
Su Qin pulled the latch open and opened the door, and what caught his eye was a Xue Qinghe in plain clothes.
Su Qin greeted Xue Qinghe in sideways and asked with a smile, "Brother Xue, why are you free to come to me today?"
Xue Qinghe smiled and said, "I feel a little nostalgic for the food you cooked. Why, don't you welcome me?"
Su Qin smiled and said, "Of course you are welcome."
Su Qin glanced at the scene outside, there were a few more guards hidden in the crowd, but everything else was as usual.
Su Qin closed the door again and walked towards the stone table in the courtyard with Xue Qinghe.
"Brother Xue, I have made a few home-cooked dishes. Now it is the meal. Do you want to eat together?"
"Since you have invited me to Su Qin, naturally you want to taste it."
Su Qin brought Xue Qinghe to the stone table and sat down, and said with a smile: "Brother Xue, wait a moment, I will get you a pair of tableware."
Xue Qinghe looked at the three dishes and one soup on the stone table and nodded with a smile. He had never seen these dishes on Su Qin's table.
Although the arrangement of these dishes is somewhat random, they exude an attractive fragrance that makes one's index finger open.
Xueqinghe has eaten the kebabs made by Su Qin, and it tastes very good. I want to come to this home cooking that Su Qin said should taste the same.
Suddenly, Xue Qinghe noticed an open letter on the table. He was a little curious about what was written on the letter, but he was too embarrassed to hold it and read it directly, and asked in the direction of the kitchen: "Su Qin, can I see what is written in this letter?"
Su Qin just came out of the kitchen with a pair of bowls and chopsticks, smiled and nodded and said, "Of course."
Xue Qinghe smiled and nodded towards Su Qin, picked up the letter and read it. After reading the content of the letter, Xue Qinghe felt a little surprised.
Although it is not a secret that Prince Xue Xing led his troops to leave, because Prince Xue Xing left earlier, most of the people who knew about it were nobles, and the commoners didn't know much. Moreover, Prince Xue Xing went to the south gate, and Su Qin lived in the north of the city. Even if the news could reach him, according to estimates, it was probably night or a few days later.
Su Qin was able to get the news so early, indicating that the intelligence agency that Su Qin had told him before had been initially established.
Xue Qinghe put the letter back in his hand, looked at Su Qin who was sitting opposite him, smiled and said, "Su Qin, your news came very quickly."
A smile appeared on Su Qin's face and said, "The underground intelligence organization you talked about with Brother Xue barely achieved some results. Brother Xue laughed."
Xue Qinghe shook his head slightly, and said, "I can get this news so soon. It's already very fast. I came to you, and it is precisely to tell you about this."
Su Qin poured a glass of wine for Xue Qinghe, and poured himself a glass of wine, and smiled: "Brother Xue, let's talk while eating."
Seeing this smile, Xue Qinghe nodded, picked up the chopsticks and put a piece of fish-flavored eggplant into his mouth, chewing lightly, his eyes suddenly brightened. This is a delicacy he has never tasted before, it is delicious.
Xueqinghe looked at the other dishes, with a look of expectation in his eyes. This dish is so delicious, what about the other dishes?
Xueqinghe deliberately came here at lunch time. There was a bit of a meal in it. After eating Su Qin’s barbecue last time, he felt a little bit that Su Qin could not cook other delicacies. curious.
After tasting it personally at this time, he was greatly satisfied.
Xue Qinghe did not forget his intentions while eating, and continued: "At the meeting today, the father ordered Prince Xue Xing to lead 2,000 people from the Heaven Dou Royal Knights and 1,200 ordinary soldiers to the Barak Kingdom. The Starbucks City negotiation at the junction of the Star Luo Empire. The Barak Kingdom and the Silves Kingdom passing by will send 20,000 troops to join it. The total number of troops is fifty thousand."
Su Qin nodded slowly. This was similar to what he had guessed. It was impossible for Prince Xue Xing to bring only a few people, so he ran to negotiate with the Star Luo Empire, and it was necessary to replenish troops along the way.
However, it can be seen from this that the division of the Heaven Dou Empire's imperial power is a bit fierce!
Any kingdom can send at least 20,000 soldiers and horses to follow. For so many years, they have not rebelled. It must be said that these kingdoms are relatively loyal.
"Brother Xue, take the liberty to ask, have the kingdoms that were entrusted over the years have rebelled?" Su Qin asked curiously.
Although Su Qin has lived in this world for a long time, it is a pity that history is not taught here.
Most of the knowledge taught in the Soul Master Academy simply introduced the strength of the Heaven Dou Empire and several enfeoffment nations in the Heaven Dou Empire, but nothing else.
The real history, only nobles are qualified to know and learn, civilians, even ordinary soul masters, don't know much.
