The grass in the factory should be plucked

When Nangong Qinghe saw the two of them coming side by side, although he felt a slight pain in his heart, he still had to force a smile and wished them a happy marriage and a long life together.

After Jiang Li and the other two thanked him, they asked him to dismiss his attendants: "We have something important to report to His Majesty."

Nangong Qinghe was slightly surprised and waved his hand lightly: "You guys leave first."

The palace maids and eunuchs filed out.

Jiang Li then told Nangong Qinghe everything about Xiao Jin.

Nangong Qinghe was shocked when he heard that the Gu King actually had a Gu worm that could possess living things at will and speak human language.

"Ari, do you have any way to deal with this?"

Jiang Li nodded: "I am sure I can contain it."

Nangong Qinghe was slightly relieved.

Jiang Li added: "I hope that when we march south, the general leading the army is someone I can trust with all my heart and someone I can trust with my back. Only then can I concentrate on dealing with the Gu King without being distracted."

"Your Majesty, for the candidate for the General of the Southern Expedition, I recommend Xie Chang'an, the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the General of Dingguo."

Xie Changan also said: "I am not talented, but I am willing to lead the army to destroy the Southern Barbarians for His Majesty and unify the Southern Border!"

Nangong Qinghe pondered in silence, went through all the generals in his mind, and found that Xie Changan was indeed the most suitable candidate.

General Duan Nanqi of Annan guarded the southern border for more than ten years, but was helpless against the Southern Barbarians.

The Duke of Zhenguo's faction guarded the northern border, General Pingxi Wei Zhuang guarded the western regions, and the Fujian Navy guarded the southeast coast. None of them were good at fighting in the mountains and forests, so they would naturally suffer losses against the Southern Barbarians.

The Nanyi Kingdom has such strange and bizarre abilities that they need to rely on Jiang Li and the Longmen Medical Bureau, Longmen Military Industry, Wulin Alliance and other extraordinary people in order to have a chance of winning.

The only person who can mobilize these forces is Xie Changan.

Jiang Li and her talented men must serve as the vanguard. Only after removing all obstacles can the Great Chu army enter southern Xinjiang.

The only person who could trust them with his back was Xie Changan.

Nangong Qinghe nodded and praised: "Ah Li is indeed good at selecting the right person for the job. There is no one more suitable than Xie Qing."

Jiang Li added: "I would like to ask His Majesty to grant an order to allow General Xie to recruit personal soldiers."

"can."

Therefore, Nangong Qinghe drafted an edict to allow General Dingguo Xie Chang'an to recruit 200 personal soldiers and 1,000 elite soldiers.

Xie Changan received the imperial edict and left the palace with Jiang Li to express his gratitude.

He was both happy and worried.

It’s only been three days since his wedding and he’s already busy again!

"Little raccoon, I don't want to be separated from you."

Xie Changan hugged her, reluctant to let her go.

Jiang Li smiled and said, "Marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog. Wherever you go, I will go too."

She remembered that the farm she allocated to Longmen Tiangong was not small. Later, Nangong Qinghe allocated a fairly large imperial farm as the base of Longmen Military Industry.

Jiang Li wondered if he could train his personal soldiers in these two manors?

She followed Xie Changan to the farm and could also monitor the progress of Shen Muchun and Mo Qilang's "secret weapon" at any time.

Xie Changan was overjoyed and kissed her fiercely: "The only one who understands me is you, my lady!"

Jiang Li was a little melancholy: "I haven't lived in our garden for a few days!"

If she had known this earlier, she would not have built such a beautiful garden!

Xie Changan said with a smile: "After conquering Southern Xinjiang, you and I will retire and return to the fields, raise children in this garden, and enjoy the happiness of a happy family."

"Didn't the little raccoon say that she wanted to have eight or ten children? Your husband will have to work hard."

Thinking of Jiang Li's shocking words, he couldn't help laughing out loud.

"I don't want to! It's all your fault. You forced me to eat raw dumplings!"

Jiang Li was so embarrassed that she clenched her fist and hit him again.

Now she wishes everyone in the capital knew about her “big words”!

This time they returned to the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion.

Jiang Li said that since it was the day to return home, she naturally had to go back to her mansion.

Aunt Lian was overjoyed to see them back.

Although she went to Xie Mansion every day to look after the young lady, it was not a place where she could make decisions, so it was naturally not as convenient as going back to the Marquis' Mansion.

Aunt Lian began to prepare a grand "returning home banquet" for the girl.

Jiang Li and Xie Changan returned to her boudoir.

Xie Changan smiled and said, "Finally, I can go through the main entrance openly."

When Jiang Li was in the Marquis' Mansion, Aunt Lian kept a close eye on him. He entered through the window every night, so how could he have the chance to go through the front door?

Jiang Li returned to her familiar boudoir and was suddenly so sleepy that she couldn't even open her eyes. She lay down on the bed and went to meet Zhou Gong.

Xie Changan held her in his arms and slept for half an hour. Then he got up, put on his clothes, tucked her in, went to the study, and began to write a recruitment plan.

Jiang Li slept for the entire afternoon before being woken up by Aunt Lian.

At this time, Xie Changan had returned to the Xie Mansion and had a detailed discussion with Liao Wuyong.

Hearing the breeze reporting that the banquet was ready, he and Liao Wuyong leisurely passed through the corner gate and returned to the marquis' mansion.

Also invited were Shen Muchun, Mo Qilang, Qiao Xiaoyue, Li Chen and others.

As usual, Manager Liu summoned the chefs from Longmen Restaurant and Longmen Boat Banquet to his mansion and had the food cooked to order by the guests. Everyone was very satisfied with the meal and praised the meal endlessly.

After eating and drinking, everyone went to the flower garden to enjoy the flowers and drink tea.

After Mo Qilang brought in the hot spring, the garden no longer needed a kang and could be as warm as spring.

The hot spring pool in the center of the garden also introduces real hot spring water.

Although it is now the twelfth month of winter and there have been several heavy snowfalls, the flowers in the garden are in full bloom and the fragrance is overwhelming.

It was already late at night, so Aunt Lian had people light up a lot of glass lamps. Admiring the flowers under the lamps was like admiring a beauty under the lamps, which had a unique charm.

Everyone was enjoying the flowers and sipping tea, and they felt that there was nothing more enjoyable than this.

Mo Qilang smiled and said, "Little Sixteen, you made your nest so comfortable, but you can't live there for more than a few days. Isn't that a pity?"

They had heard that the emperor had agreed to appoint Xie Chang'an as the commander-in-chief of the Southern Expedition Army, and that he would go to Zhuangzi soon to train the newly recruited elite soldiers, and Jiang Li would naturally go with him.

They barely spent a few days in the flower-filled mansion of the marquis or in the winding garden of the Xie mansion.

Jiang Li lamented: "I was born to work hard!"

Mo Qilang chuckled and said, "Although the farm of Longmen Military Industry is not as comfortable as your garden, it is very interesting. Xiaoshiliu, you will definitely like it."

Jiang Li was very interested when she heard it. She turned to Shen Muchun and said, "Brother Shen, is it fun there?"

Among the people present, only Shen Muchun has been there.

Shen Muchun had a headache: "Don't mention it. That manor is easy to get in but hard to get out. I get lost every time I go there!"

He had to carry Longmen Tiangong's "voice transmitter" with him every time. If he got lost, he would use the voice transmitter to call Mo Qilang to send someone to rescue him.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Jiang Li became very interested in Longmen Tiangong, which alleviated his reluctance to leave his own garden.

Qiao Xiaoyue and Li Chen were also very interested in Longmen Tiangong, but unfortunately the place was controlled by the imperial guards, and as civilians they could not enter.

Jiang Li's eyes lit up: "If you join the Southern Expedition Army, you can enter."

Although Qiao Xiaoyue and Li Chen were also very tempted, they both said that they would go back to seek the opinions of their senior teachers.
