Chapter 698 A Few Generals (Part [-])
There were three people sitting in the ancestral hall, when Xia Zhaoyi entered, two more came from outside, a total of five people.

The hall is not big, but it is filled with light. The neat and square double-leaf window on the right looks like it is newly chiselled.

The floor is covered with a whole piece of bamboo tapestry, and there are patches in several places, and the furniture is pressed to cover these patches.

There are many old and new desks pasted along the wall, and the vases, calligraphy and paintings displayed on them are of various styles.

There is a red lacquered wooden desk next to the east window, on which there are scripture scrolls, plain bamboo slips, and large volumes of copybooks, which are very messy.

The branch leader looked around happily.

Except for the man sitting in the first seat who is about 50 years old, the rest of the men are all around [-] years old and dressed in plain clothes.

And, only the man in the second seat on the right has a fat head and big ears, while the other four are thin and thin.

One of them, since Xia Zhaoyi came in, has been staring at her, his eyes are shining, and he does not hide his desire for young and young women at all.

With this look, Zhi Changle really wanted to go and pick out his eyeballs.

Zhan Qiye sat in the first seat, pinching his beard and looking at the three of them in the same way.

The militiaman was right, this bearing and appearance were indeed not ordinary, especially this young girl, who was thrown in the crowd and could be seen at a glance.

It's no wonder that his younger brother stared straight at him, and Qiye Zhan glanced at Baye Zhan who was beside him.

"...Which one is the general?" Zhi Changle asked.

Zhan Qiye coughed lightly.

Fifth Master Mo on the side spoke at the right time: "Who are you, what deal are you here for, what kind of food are you sending?"

"Which one is the general?" Old Tong was also confused.

"I am the mighty general," Mo Wuye said, straightening his chest, and then introduced Zhan Qiye, "This is our mighty general!"

Xia Zhaoyi raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at Zhan Qiye who was seated first.

"Pfft!" Old Tong couldn't hold back.

"... General Yang Wei?" Zhi Changle thought of something, looked at Xia Zhaoyi, "A Li, that's not your second brother Xia..."

"What are you laughing at!" Fifth Master Mo shouted at Old Tong unhappily.

"What's the name of this lady?" Zhan Baye asked.

"Which general are you?" Zhi Changle asked him back.

"A certain chariot and cavalry general!" Zhan Baye said, and raised his hand, bowing like a Confucian scholar.

"..."

Zhi Changle looked at Old Tong, showing a disgusted expression of wanting to cry but not tears.

Old Tong swallowed hard, and whispered in Xia Zhaoyi's ear, "Ah Li, let's forget about it, let's find the next one."

"This lady, what do you call her?" Fifth Master Mo repeated what Master Zhan had said.

"My name is A Li," Xia Zhaoyi said, "Pear Blossom's pear."

Baye Zhan was moved when he heard it, the voice was pleasant and pleasant, like ice beads falling on a jade plate, the voice was powerful and clear, it didn't match her slightly delicate appearance.

"Miss Ali is just as her name suggests, she is really as moist as a pear blossom!" Baye Zhan said.

"Then why don't you introduce who you are!" Zhi Changle shouted.

Master Zhan looked at Fifth Master Mo.

Fifth Master Mo got up and introduced the five present one by one.

Besides Zhan Qiye and Zhan Baye, the two who just arrived are Lin Sanye and Zhan Jiuye.

The fattest one is Mr. Lin, with a fat head and big ears, he is as big as all the seven, eight, and nine of Zhan's family combined.

It can be heard from the words that these five people are basically the "adults" elected by the three villages of Qingxiang Mountain.

As well as the status of general, they probably sealed it themselves.

While talking, a girl's voice came from outside: "Father! The venison has been spoiled for a long time, and it can't be eaten!"

Zhan Qiye frowned and glared at Lin Sanye.

The fat and plump Mr. Lin showed a look of pity on his face, and shouted: "Hey! Got it, I have business to do!"

Zhi Changle looked at him silently, and then silently looked at the girl beside him.

Xia Zhaoyi was looking at Mr. Lin.

"It's your turn!" Fifth Master Mo said to Xia Zhaoyi, "Who are you?!"

Xia Zhaoyi then turned his gaze to Fifth Master Mo.

A pair of eyes were too clear, with a calmness beyond his age, Mo Wuye suddenly felt unnatural: "The girl's name is A Li, where are these two people?"

"My name is Lao Tong, and his name is Zhi Changle!" said Lao Tong.

Zhi Changle no longer intends to speak.

Xia Zhaoyi said, "Fifth Mo, is your ancestor the Marquis of Anshun? You have moved here from Tangzhou for five generations?"

Fifth Master Mo's eyes widened, he was stunned, and his tone was subconsciously restrained: "How did the girl know?"

"Zhan Qiye, Zhan Baye, Zhan Jiuye," Xia Zhaoyi turned to Zhan Qiye who was sitting in the front seat, "Are you the descendants of Lord Chongjun from the previous chapter?"

Zhan Qiye got up and took a step forward: "How do you know?!"

"Then, your ancestor moved north here during the Tianning period, which is the collateral blood of the descendants of the Zhan family."

Zhan Jiuye said "Hey": "The girl knows it very well!"

Xia Zhaoyi smiled slightly: "It's far away. I came here today because I want to rent a place and hire some people to help me make a military weapon. The reward is up to you to choose, whether it is food or gold and silver treasures."

"Lease," Zhan Qiye frowned, and looked at the others, "Who appointed you here?"

"No one can assign me."

"Miss Ali," Mr. Zhan said, "You mean, you make it for yourself?"

"Ah."

"This..." Several generals looked her up and down, and it sounded weird.

"We're going to hire 300 people," Old Tong said. "For renting seven acres of mountain land, we can deposit money for you first! And if we rent here, we must keep it safe. If anyone comes to deal with you, leave it to us." !"

"That's true," Fifth Master Mo couldn't help but said, "Heh..."

"Father!" The voice of the girl outside sounded again at this moment, "Are you alright, those pieces of pork are almost ready to be steamed, it won't taste good later!"

Zhan Qiye glared at Lin Sanye angrily.

Mr. Lin sneered, and looked outside: "Hey, you go first! Go!"

"What are you doing!" cried the girl.

The branch is happy to support the forehead.

"There is no loss for you!" Old Tong continued, "Think to yourself, staying here is waiting for death, right?"

"Why are we waiting to die?" Zhan Jiuye exclaimed excitedly.

"What do you mean by waiting to die?" Master Zhan said displeased.

"Then, what's your last name?" Xia Zhaoyi asked.

The gentle and calm voice made Baye Zhan's heart itch again, and he said softly: "Miss Ali, don't you know that our surname is Zhan? We are still descendants of Duke Chongjun."

When I mention this, I feel a little proud. Although it is almost seven generations old, it is already a side branch of the side branch.

"A Li means that your surname is Tian Dayao, and your surname is Song Zhiyi!" Old Tong said speechlessly.

"Song Zhiyi and Tian Dayao have been fighting in Youzhou for a long time, and they will always fight for this place. If your surname is Tian, ​​you will be contested by Song Zhiyi. If your surname is Song, Tian Dayao will not let you go. What will happen to the Weiping Mansion that has been fighting for a long time? , the generals should have seen it." Xia Zhaoyi said.

　Thank you Hua Lizi for your reward~~ I love you!
