"Master..." An Yi's voice came from the darkness, "Young Master Tao is having dinner with the babies in the side room."

Hearing this, Qi Bohan regained his sanity in an instant, rushed to the side room like a gust of wind, and broke in through the door.

Xiaobao and Xiaobei were stunned by the sudden sound, and when they saw it was their father, they thought it was some new game, and immediately became excited.

Tao Jianran only glanced at Qi Bohan, didn't want to ignore him, and continued to eat.

"Of course." Qi Bohan stepped forward, hugged Tao Yanran from behind, buried his face in Tao Yanran's hair, "Of course."

"Where is the soul? Get out of the way, I want to eat!" Tao Yanran said viciously, without showing any good looks.The beast!It was an unforgivable crime to have knocked him out outside!

Qi Bohan refused to relax, and lay on Tao Jianran's back.

Seeing this, Xiaobao and Xiaobei also crawled over, pawed and pulled on Qi Bohan's back, having a great time.

Hearing the children's laughter, Tao Jianran unconsciously softened his heart, and asked angrily, "Have you had dinner yet?"

"No, but feed me." Qi Bohan leaned closer to Tao Yanran's lips.

"Get off! Go and eat!" Tao Yanran pushed Qi Bohan's handsome face away, determined to carry the cold war to the end!

"Of course, Qi Jingqi intends to use aunt to threaten me, I have to go to the capital." Qi Bohan tightened his grip on Tao Jianran, "Wait for me to come back, okay?"

Tao Jianran heard the words, and shook the hand holding the chopsticks slightly: "It's up to you, you can do whatever you like."

Qi Bohan couldn't tell that Tao Jianran was angry, but he didn't know how to comfort his lover, and the atmosphere in the room gradually cooled down.Children are the most sensitive to emotions, and suddenly they began to cry loudly with a "wow".Tao Jianran had no choice but to let go of his cold pretense, and hurried over to coax the child.

Five days later, when everything was ready, Qi Bohan took five thousand elite soldiers and prepared to go to Beijing.

Tao Jianran had a cold war with Qi Bohan for five days, but at the end of the day, he could no longer pretend to be cold.When he saw off the two children in his arms, his eyes were instantly red.

Qi Bohan looked at Tao Jianran's fragile appearance, his heart tightened, he stepped forward and hugged him in his arms, and said in a low voice: "Of course, wait until I come back."

Tao Jianran raised his head to prevent tears from falling out of his eyes: "If you dare not come back, I will, I will..." Before he could finish speaking, two lines of hot tears suddenly fell down.

The two little babies didn't know what happened and looked at the two fathers in confusion.

Qi Bohan didn't speak, stretched out his hand to wipe Tao Jianran's tears, then turned around resolutely, got on his horse and left without looking back.He was afraid that if he took one more look, he would never have the courage to leave again.

Tao Jianran stood there stupidly until he could not even see the dust raised by the army, then returned to the palace with a determined face.He can't be immersed in sadness, he still has to help Qi Bohan take care of Ning'an, making Ning'an Qi Bohan's biggest reliance!

A few days later, the vassal kings set off for Beijing one after another.When Tao Jianran was discussing with Wang Junhao, Weng Yuanji and others about the plan to directly attack the capital at that time, a secret guard suddenly came to report.

"Young master, An Shiyi intercepted King Qin's letter and found that King Qin had a connection with the second prince of the Xiongnu."

"King Qin?" Tao Jian was stunned for a few seconds before thinking of this person.The fiefdom of King Qin was in the cold and bitter northwest of the Rui Dynasty, bordering the territory of the Huns, which shows how displeased the emperor was with this prince.

I heard that the incumbent is a cowardly master, how dare he collude with the Huns now?Besides, isn't the second prince of the Huns about to lose the battle, why come to Ruichao to intervene when he has time?

Tao Jianran read through the secret letter presented by the secret guard at a glance, and found no sign of forgery.The actions of the Xiongnu colluded with King Qin did not hide the slightest, just as arrogant as Qi Jingliang.But he has a powerful advantage over Qi Jingliang: he is closer to the Huns and closer to the capital.

Moreover, the current King Qin is the third generation. After nearly a hundred years of operation, the size of the army in the territory must be quite large.If he wants to rebel, the probability of success is higher than that of Qi Jingliang.

"Continue to investigate, and tell Bohan to be careful in the capital." Tao Yanran didn't know his demeanor at this time, it looked like Qi Bohan giving orders. After the hidden guards retreated, Tao Jianran turned to Wang Junhao and said: " If the Huns also come to intervene, Bohan's attributes in the capital may be even more dangerous, we have to make preparations as soon as possible."

"Continue to conscript?" Wang Junhao frowned slightly. There are not many men in Ning'an who can enlist in the army. If they continue to forcibly conscript, the fields may be abandoned.

Tao Jianran naturally knew this, he shook his head, and suddenly there was a sly look in his eyes: "Is Guangyi no longer cared about?"

"The three magistrates promoted by Qi Jingliang are all rich and poor, and Qi Jingqi has not sent anyone to take over for a long time. Now Guangyi has become a mess." Weng Yuanji knows the situation of Guangyi well, "If you want to do something, now is the best time but."

Qi Jingqi probably already knew the news that King Qin was colluding with the Huns, so he must be very busy.No matter what happens in this remote place in Guangyi, he has no energy to manage it.

"Then let's go to General Conscription!" Tao Yanran made a final decision, "But don't do it too blatantly, and don't give Qi Jingqi a chance to attack Bohan."

"Naturally," Weng Yuanji stroked his goatee. He looked like a fairy, but his smile made people shudder inexplicably.

Now that they have stretched their claws to the general sense, how boring it is to recruit some soldiers... Weng Yuanji's stomach began to gurgle.

When Weng Yuanji and Wang Junhao went to Guangyi to toss about, Tao Jianran still couldn't relax.The number of soldiers is important, but so is the quality.Moreover, generals in Ning'an are really scarce, if one day Wang Junhao also leaves Ning'an, then Ning'an's army will be leaderless!

As soon as Tao Jianran realized this problem, he couldn't help feeling flustered.Ning'an is short of generals, and the entire Rui Dynasty is short of generals.In fact, one of the purposes of the military academy was to train generals.

Now the Military Academy has expanded to more than 3000 students. Among them, the students transferred from Xingzhi Primary School, although they are only learning the knowledge of the second grade, have basically completed their literacy.Coupled with the fact that he is not young, his comprehension ability is much stronger than that of a five or six-year-old second grader.

So Tao Jianran issued an order to directly cancel the two-day rest day every month, and added an art of war class, so that Qi Jingyu could go to the battle to teach the art of war.

Qi Jingyu was in the royal family, although he had never led troops to fight, but he had read countless military books since he was a child, so it was more than enough to teach these students.After Tao Jianran read the Art of War of this era, he only felt that it was obscure and difficult to understand, so he exchanged Sun Tzu's Art of War and 36 Strategies with the system, as supplementary textbooks, and filled the school's library and library by the way.

After finishing this, Tao Jianran felt that it was not enough.It will take a long time for the students of the military academy to grow up. If they can directly tap and train existing soldiers, the short-term benefits will be even greater!

It's just that the soldiers used to be peasants, and their thinking was relatively restricted. If they want to discover their talents, they must first emancipate their minds.The first step in emancipating the mind: literacy.

Ever since, the soldiers who had trained hard all day and thought they could sleep well at night found that a nightmare had come.They were forced into a place called "Soldier Literacy Class", where the vice principal of Xingzhi Elementary School in Yuezhou Prefecture and the principal and vice principal of Xingzhi Middle School personally taught them how to read.

Moreover, the enlightenment book is also rather strange, and it is just a vivid demonstration of cramming education.

Ning'an and Guangyi, because of Tao Jianran's anxiety, began to panic. At the same time, the letter sent by the eldest princess was long overdue.

Qi Bohan was not there, so Ziqi directly handed the letter to Tao Jianran.Tao Jianran thought it was something urgent, but when he opened it, his entire face darkened.

The Eldest Princess wrote thousands of exhortations and exhortations, and the capital is now in danger, so Qi Bohan must not be involved.And she has successfully escaped, leaving Qi Bohan no worries.

Tao Jianran recalled what Qi Bohan said before he left, it was clearly an excuse to save his aunt!Qi Bohan is willing to take such a big risk for the sake of the throne, and would rather let those who are worried about him stay in Ning'an and be afraid!

Tao Jianran was so angry that he almost burst into tears, but he had no choice but to hand Qi Bohan the letter to Wang Lingjun and ask him to prepare well to receive the eldest princess.

On August [-]th, the vassal kings had arrived in the capital one after another.

After Qi Bohan came to Beijing, he did not live in the house arranged by Qi Jingqi, but directly moved into the mansion of General Anguo.Ning'an's [-] elite soldiers all set up camp ten miles outside the city, as if if Qi Bohan could not come out safely, this army would attack the capital.

Qi Jingqi was also very calm about this, and did not express any objection, but very ordinaryly ordered the officials of the Ministry of Rites to entertain the feudal king and prepare for the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven.He even began to deal with various disaster relief matters in an orderly manner.The situation in Beijing has inexplicably stabilized, and it seems that a new storm is brewing.And in the cracked ground, something seemed to be breaking through.

It is already the autumn harvest season, and a large area of ​​good farmland in the north has been exhausted, leaving less than [-]% of the fields with crops that can survive until now. This is the last hope of the farmers.

A skinny old farmer, looking at the shriveled crops in his field, stared at the distance with cloudy eyes for a while, and finally said to the young man next to him: "I will harvest it in a few days."

The boy didn't reply, he just stared in another direction in horror, his lips trembled slightly, but he couldn't say what he wanted to say.

The old farmer followed his grandson's line of sight suspiciously, but sat down on the ground with a trembling voice, "Locust, locust..."

On August [-]th, an overwhelming locust plague swept across the entire northern part of Ruichao, taking away the farmers' last hope.
