Chapter 167 The Ning Family's Map

Chu Palace

Ning You came back from the north court, followed by his servant Xiao Chunzi.

Xiao Chunzi was holding a few books and a large scroll, which seemed a bit heavy.

Ning Youbei asked Xiao Chunzi to carry these books and scrolls into the inner study.

This inner study room is connected with the bedrooms of Ning Youbei and Qu Chu, except for Ning Youbei and Qu Chu, only Xiao Chunzi can enter.

The purpose of Xiaochunzi's entry is to clean the study.

……

Qu Chu was sitting in the inner study reading a book.

Seeing Xiao Chunzi holding the album, Qu Chu asked, "Did you bring it back?"

"Ok".

Ning Youbei signaled Xiao Chunzi to put these things on Qu Chu's desk.

After Xiao Chunzi put down the things, he left with interest.

Qu Chu reached for the scroll and opened it. It was a map.

Qu Chu hung the map on the wall.

This is a map of Dayu Kingdom, which Qu Chu asked Ning Youbei to take back from the emperor.

Ever since he learned about the drastic change of the Nanyi royal family, Qu Chu became concerned about the matter of the Nanyi frontier army.

Don't blame her for being concerned.

Today, there are three of her trusted generals in the Nanyi Frontier Army: General Fan, Wu Dang, and He Dabao.

These three people were not only recommended by her, but also close to her.

With them around, it would be impossible for Qu Chu to stay out of the matter.

……

Qu Chu looked at the map carefully.

This map is different from the map Qu Chu was assigned when he was in the army. This map is more detailed.

Ning Youbei handed a large booklet on the desk to Qu Chu, "Look at this."

Qu Chu opened it indifferently, and was shocked when he saw it.

Each page of this large booklet is a miniature map.

These small maps correspond to a certain city, a certain village, a certain forest or a certain river on the large map.

In addition to maps, there are detailed descriptions of terrain and terrain.

Qu Chu looked up at Ning Youbei, "This is...?"

Ning Youbei nodded.

Qu Chu picked up the other three large booklets on the desk and looked through them.

These three big booklets are the same as the one Qu Chu read before, each page is also a small map.It's just that these three big booklets are from Zizhou, Nanyue, and Jingcheng, while the one I read before is from Nanshu.

Qu Chu's mood was very complicated. She asked, "Who are these booklets?"

Ning Youbei knew what Qu Chu was going to ask, and answered her:
"These big booklets were drawn by a certain emperor of the ancestor of the Ning family who specially sent a special person to spend ten years to describe them.

In addition to the four you see now, there are many other towns.

After these big books were completed, subsequent emperors would send people to some important places for retesting and corrections from time to time. "

"Does every city have it?"

Ning Youbei understood what Qu Chu meant when he asked him this, but he still didn't lie to Qu Chu.

"Every city in Dayu Kingdom has them, including Longmen, Ancheng, Yucheng and other places in the north."

Qu Chu didn't know what to say anymore.

She also has such a map in her hand, but it is limited to certain strategically important cities in the north, and it is specially drawn for military warfare.

She knows how difficult it is to paint such an atlas, but she has four of them now.

And Ning Youbei said: There are many more books, every city has them.

These thick booklets are treasures!

A treasure that is hard to find!
……

It was the first time that Qu Chu knew that the royal family of the Ning family had these things.

As the supreme general in the north and northwest, she was given maps by the imperial court, but they were all simple maps, too rough.

In order to ensure the victory of the war, she had to lead people to draw a strategic map in order to better deploy troops.

It took her a lot of effort to draw those maps, but she didn't expect that there were all of them here in the imperial court.

Ning Youbei seemed to know what Qu Chu was thinking, and said:

"This is the ancestral motto of the Ning family, which stipulates that these albums should not be passed on to outsiders. Not only the generals stationed in various places have never read these albums, even King Jing and King Huai have never seen them."

Qu Chu said: "Then it doesn't matter if you show it to me now?"

Ning Youbei smiled and said:
"Brother Huang said, you are now part of the Ning family, not an outsider, so it doesn't matter if you see it."

In fact, when Ning Youbei asked the emperor for these albums today, he was not sure whether the emperor would agree, but he did not expect the emperor to agree without hesitation.

He only told him not to let outsiders see it except him and Ah Chu.

Brother Huang's original words at the time were:

"Now that our lives are in the hands of your wife, are you afraid that she will read these albums?
Besides, after Ning Youdi rebelled, I still expected her to fight for me. "

But there is no need for Ning Youbei to tell Qu Chu these words.

……

Qu Chu didn't say any more, picked up these albums and studied them carefully.

……

Nanyi Border
A group of young people with branches planted on their heads and leaves on their bodies quickly shuttled through the dense forest.

They appear to be irregular, but in reality they are uneven and orderly.

"Head, I think something is wrong, this forest is too quiet."

Hearing the report from his subordinates, a handsome young man in his 20s became thoughtful.

He also felt that something was wrong.

"Let's go a few miles further."

This handsome young man is He Dabao.

He has been in the Nanyi Frontier Army for more than a month.

After General Fan took over the Nanyi frontier army, he vigorously rectified the frontier army. Not only did the original organization be disrupted and the team reorganized, even the frontier fronts were completely reorganized, and then handed over to Wu Dagang.

He Dabao arrived a few days later than General Fan and the others. After reporting for duty, General Fan threw him to the front line.

When He Dabao was in the Northwest Army, his first job was scouting.

Although the topographical environment of the southern Yi border was completely different from that of the northwest and the north, He Dabao's natural sensitivity enabled him to quickly figure out a set of the most suitable methods of hiding and spying.

As a result, he won the trust of his soldiers.

He came out today with his soldiers. He originally intended to train more, but he didn't expect to see something wrong for him.

After exploring a few miles further, there are still few people.

Not only is there no human habitation, even the snakes, insects, rats and ants that can be seen at any time don't know where to go.

This mountain forest is very large, and Nanyi and Dayu Kingdom take it as the boundary by default.To the north of the mountains and forests is Dayu Kingdom, and to the south of the mountains and forests is Nanyi.

As for this mountain forest, apart from the sentry from the Dayu Kingdom, there would also be some Nanyi people going into the mountain to collect herbs and mushrooms.

Although these Nanyi people generally would not go deep into the side close to Dayu Kingdom, but in any case, it would not be like today, there is no one.

He Dabao said to one of them:
"Niu San, you take the three of you back and report the abnormality in this forest to General Wu, remember to remind him to tell General Fan."

A thin, short black young man replied: "Yes", then bent down and walked away with three people.

After Niu San left, He Dabao continued to cruise in the mountains and forests with the rest of the people.
