0323: Twenty-Four Provinces Of The Empire.
At night, the coolness of autumn adds a quiet beauty to the moon.
The distant mountains are dignified, and the sky is lightly drooping at dusk. People can't help but stop and watch this quiet beauty.
The expedition team of the Golden Eagle Empire had left the imperial capital for five days, and they were resting and adjusting by a river.
Rows of tents were set up along the meandering river bank, and there was a burning bonfire everywhere.
Looking down from the sky, there are dots of orange-red flames on the river bank, and the long one is very beautiful.
Some of the nobles were patrolling; some were eating dinner, and some were just resting.
After all, some nobles have never experienced war, and the two-day journey has made them tired enough.
Tread Tread
Hahaha····
Qiao Ji had just finished patrolling on a stepping horse, and headed straight for her team.
Behind him is the first team of the Dragon Shadow Knight Battalion. You Meng is the captain, and the light steel alloy armor on his body is slightly different from other team members.
Agnelli had already arranged for people to set up the tents, the knights stood on guard, and those who cooked dinner cooked dinner, everything was in order.
"My lord, after tonight, we won't be patrolling, right?" Lei Nai asked with his black eyes blinking.
"Well, it should be." Qiao Ji said softly.
He pulled the reins and let Chasing Wind come to a tent, then got off his horse and handed the weapon to the knight next to him.
When the expedition team stopped to rest, nobles and knights were required to patrol.
Of course, it's up to the governor to decide who patrols and for how long.
Qiao Ji and several other nobles were assigned to patrol, so they led the knights to patrol around the surrounding area.
"My lord, I'll take the people from the Dragon Shadow Knight Battalion to patrol." Lei Nai said softly.
"Tap Tat Tat..."
Qiao Ji stepped into the largest tent and said, "It would be nice to arrange for the knights to patrol in turn."
"Yes." Renee nodded.
Seeing Qiao Ji coming in, Luna walked over with a bowl of noodles, and said softly, "My lord can have dinner now.
In addition to being the military doctor of this team, she is also in charge of logistics, so the second sister of Lu's family cooked the boy's dinner tonight.
"Okay." Qiao Ji took a mouthful of the steaming bowl of noodles.
He raised his eyebrows slightly after chewing a few mouthfuls, and praised, "It's delicious.
"It's all taught by sister Xue Nai." Luna said excitedly and loudly, her pretty face was covered with dace red unconsciously.
Luna's cooking skills are all taught by Xue Nai, such as what seasoning to cook the noodles, when to cook the noodles, and so on.
After all, the white cat girl couldn't come with her, so she was worried about the boy's diet, so she insisted on teaching Luna how to cook three meals a day.
"Stop standing, let's eat something together." Qiao Ji waved her hands indifferently.
"Thank you, Master." Luna happily picked up a bowl of noodles.
Lei Nai was already starving, and had already sat face-to-face with the young man and started eating.
"Puchi......"
When Qiao Ji and the others were having dinner in the tent, an eagle flapped its broad wings and landed on the wooden pole outside the tent.
Lei Nai was sensitively aware of the subtle movement, and skillfully put down and got up and said, "My lord, there is probably news from the Misty Garden."
"Tread the road
The black cat girl stepped out of the tent, and walked into the tent after a while, with an eagle standing on her shoulder.
"Master." Lei Nai took out a note from the eagle's claw and handed it over.
She gently stroked the eagle's head, fed it a small piece of meat, and murmured, "You are so cute."
"The green barbarians are really quick to attack." Qiao Ji's face sank after reading the note.
The news that the eagle sent back was investigated by the Eliwen trio. After they left Tianhu Town, they had been paying attention to the movements of the green barbarians along the way.
The information on the note shows that the green barbarians are attacking cities and occupying major provinces, and the wolves who attack them make people feel chills down their spines.
Lei Nai took the note that the boy put on the table, glanced at it quickly, and said with a frown, "The green barbarians have already captured three provinces!"
The Golden Eagle Empire has a total of twenty-four provinces, and the provinces around Dingshan Fortress are relatively smaller.
The intelligence also said that the green barbarians are attacking the province of Ceylon, and within two days at most, the black cat girl and others will be able to meet the vanguard of the green barbarians.
"Da da da...………"
Qiao Ji tapped the table lightly with her index finger, didn't she expect a direct confrontation so soon?"
"Master, what shall we do next?" Lei Nai's pretty face also became serious.
"Just let it be." Qiao Ji threw the note into the bonfire beside him.
He believed that some nobles also knew such information, and they might only be a little slower than him for a short period of time.
"Zi La........."
The note was burned in an instant.
Moreover, Qiao Ji is an aristocrat of the empire, and now with most of the troops, everything has to be arranged by the governor.
"Yes." Lei Nai also knew why.
"Order to go on, let everyone be on full alert next, don't relax your vigilance." Qiao Ji said lightly.
What he can do is to prepare the knights so that they will not be a little bit at a loss when facing the green barbarian.
"Yes." Renai nodded emphatically.
Qiao Ji took a sip of hot water and arranged, "Continue to strengthen patrols tonight, especially to keep an eye on the two princes and the members of the Poxiu family.
"Understood, we will never let them take advantage of it." Lei Hui shook his fluffy cat ears.
The black cat girl had arranged a lot of secret whistles two nights ago, worrying that the two princes and the Marquis Poxiu would act recklessly.
"Master." Agnelli's voice suddenly came from outside the tent.
"Say." Qiao Ji looked up and looked outside the tent.
"There are a few nobles who want to talk to the lord about something." Agnelli said.
Qiao Ji frowned slightly, waved her hand and said, "I'm tired, see you."
"Yes." Agnelli nodded.
Da da da
EE......
Lei Nai watched the figure reflected on the tent slowly disappear, and asked curiously, "My lord, why are they always looking for you these two days?"
"It's nothing more than looking for an ally during the war." Qiao Ji smiled lightly.
"It turns out that they are afraid of death and want to seek the protection of the lord." Lei Nai pouted.
"It's about the same. The soldiers they can lead are not many knights. If you don't pay attention, they will become cannon fodder."
Qiao Ji picked up a cup of hot water, took a sip and said, "I'm just looking for cooperation with you just to keep warm.
This is the practice among the small nobles, and they will only win over the small nobles or the newly promoted nobles. As for the big nobles, they dare not take risks.
"I must have seen the soldiers led by the lord, so I came to the lord again and again." Lei Nai pouted.
"Who knows." Qiao Ji raised her bushy eyebrows.
