Seventh Master, Madam didn't go back to the mansion today.

Half a month later, Master Qi returned in uniform to report on the military situation.At this time, the empress dowager was not in the mood to deal with Xiao Qiye's private expedition.The two women were very anxious. The princess of Gu Yue Kingdom had been married for half a month, and Gu Yue Kingdom had not sent troops for a long time.

"Mother, I have received news that the old master of Gu Yue Kingdom died of a sudden illness a few days ago, and they are in the midst of national mourning. Prince Zhuo Yi is taking the throne again. I don't know what kind of medicine is buried in the new monarch's gourd. No troops were sent to aid the Daning Kingdom." Qi Yuxiao said.

"This Zhuo Yi must still remember that we didn't send troops to aid their country.

It's a troublesome thing now. "The queen mother frowned, looking at the calligraphy and paintings on the wall, wondering what she was thinking.

"Queen Mother, King Ling Xiao came back from the battlefield and came to see you." De Chun bowed his waist and announced respectfully.

"I pray that Yutao pays homage to the Empress Dowager."

I haven't seen him for half a month, but Xiao Qiye has darkened a lot and lost a lot of weight.The wind and sand have polished his edges and corners, and carved his heart.

"Yutao, how is the battle going on with you?" the Queen Mother asked.

"Report to the Empress Dowager, the Hu people in the north may have the intention of expanding south, and need to urgently dispatch troops from the west to fight."

"Is the situation so serious? Then why don't you rush to dispatch troops!!" Qi Yuxiao said excitedly in front of the Queen Mother.

"Master Rong's permission is needed to mobilize troops from the west. Lord Rong is seriously ill. I have come to ask for the Queen Mother's order." Qi Yutao replied.

"Hurry up and send troops there! Ai's family agrees!"

Qi Yuxiao sighed deeply, a familiar sense of powerlessness welled up in her heart.The queen mother has a strong desire for power, and she wants to firmly control everything by herself.Just like today, Lord Rong, as the queen mother's confidant, is prone to failure if something goes wrong, and at a critical moment, the seventh brother has to come back in person to invite the queen mother.

As soon as Qi Yutao received the decree and stepped back, he met the fifth master who had entered the palace to face the saint.The two brothers passed each other, and Qi Yufeng called him: "Seventh brother, are you back?" Qi Yutao left without looking back.

The fifth master didn't say anything, but hurried to see the queen mother and the emperor.

"Yufeng, you were called here during that time when the rebel army burned down the German ambassador's embassy and burned their envoys to death. The Kaiser was very angry and said that he wanted to send a prince-level person to meet with them in person. Make amends. Aijia thinks about it, but you are the only one who is experienced in doing things, so Aijia will send you there! Be sure to appease them." Xihe Empress Dowager ordered.

"Yes, I take orders." Qi Yufeng took orders and retreated.

Qi Yufeng's indifferent gaze just now was remembered in Qi Yufeng's mind, which made him a little uneasy.Yinchun asked him where he was going, Fifth Master hesitated for a moment and replied, "Go to Seventh Brother's Military Affairs Office."

Fifth Master came to the Military Affairs Department, and saw his younger brother busy with military affairs as soon as he entered the door.In only half a month, the whole person is as thin as a stick, and his sharp eyes can't hide the fatigue in his eyes, and it hurts a little when he sees it as an older brother.

"Look at you, you are unshaven, and you don't know how to take care of yourself. You don't go home either."

Little Seventh Master still didn't speak, Fifth Master asked again: "What's the matter? You don't even want to talk to me anymore?"

Qi Yutao reluctantly raised his eyes and cast a glance at him: "Fifth Brother, you are getting richer, and you are living a good life."

In Qi Yutao's words, there is something in it, which means that he has Song Yitao to accompany him.

"The Empress Dowager sent me to Germany to meet their Kaiser, you can go with me and relax." Fifth Lord ignored the thorns in the cotton, and insisted on consoling him to forgive himself.

"No, how can I go away when it's time."

The fifth master came over and pressed his hand to organize the documents: "You should rest and rest. Since your father passed away, you have been rooted in military affairs every day. If you continue like this, you will exhaust yourself."

"I'm not going!!" Qi Yutao suddenly threw away his hand in a rage, and the documents were scattered all over the floor.

Fifth brother lost his things: "A brother is like a father! You have to listen to me when your father is gone! Pack up your luggage and go to work with me!"

Fifth Master looked back into his eyes and said: "Father died in battle outside Quanqiu Pass, I don't want my younger brother to die there too!" After finishing speaking, Fifth Master walked out of the room.

Qi Yutao stood stubbornly in the room, looking at the documents on the floor, feeling depressed for a while.Half a month, a whole half a month!Even if I keep my feet on the ground, I can't stop thinking about Song Yitao...

Qi Yufeng personally asked for the decree: let the Shangguan General Yuyang in the west go to fight, take his seventh brother to go abroad for business, and visit and learn the management models of other countries' armies, which is better than himself.

After a decree from above came down, Xiao Qiye held his breath and could only go with Fifth Brother.

In the carriage, the two brothers did not speak a word.

The fifth master knew where the seventh brother's depression was, he couldn't help sighing, and said: "I have never consummated our marriage with her. I often see her crying secretly in places where no one is around. She can't let you go."

Qi Yutao's stiff back moved, although he didn't speak, he understood it in his heart.

The two came to the other country's ferry by ship, and then an envoy took them to the train station to take the train to meet the Kaiser.

When they came to this strange palace, both of them were surprised for a moment, they had never seen such a strange building before.

"Both, you wait here for a while, I will invite our King Charlie to meet you." The accompanying translator dutifully translated.

The two brothers walked around here, looking around, and a majestic man came out from behind them.

The king spoke in foreign language: "Are they the princes of Daning Kingdom?"

"Yes."

"Tell them that I have always admired the etiquette of Daning Kingdom, let them use their three knees and nine kowtows to salute me, I want to see you."

The accompanying interpreter was a little hesitant, and ran to Fifth Master's ear and whispered this sentence.

The fifth master immediately widened his eyes: "Impossible! We can only kneel down to the monarch of our Daning Kingdom, and it is absolutely impossible to kneel down to him!!"

As soon as this remark came out, the king appreciated it, and the king clapped his hands and walked down: "Very good, you are a warrior. I want to invite you two to a dinner."

In the evening, the two brothers sat at the long dining table and were treated by the king with sumptuous German dishes, including roast chicken, bread and other things they had never seen before.

"Fifth Master, Seventh Master, just watch how I use the knife, fork and dipping material, and you will learn from me later." The translator next to me whispered.

"What is this yellow stinky tofu? Can it be eaten?" Fifth Master said with a frown.

"This is cheese." Qi Ye suddenly picked up the knife and fork, and skillfully cut the steak.

The people around were dumbfounded, how could Master Qi know how to use it himself? ?

The people in Germany originally wanted to watch the princes make a fool of themselves, but who would have thought that Xiao Qiye would be very happy eating!

While eating, Qi Yutao remembered that Song Yitao invented all kinds of strange delicacies at home, including the steak and pasta she introduced.

The waiter next to him came over with a fruit platter. He recognized watermelon and oranges, but they had never seen the red, small fruit with a circle of white on it.

Xiao Qiye was in a good mood, poked one with a fork and put it in his mouth, it was sweet and sour, and had a different kind of aroma, which suits his taste very well.

"What kind of fruit is this? We don't have it in Daning Kingdom." Xiao Qiye asked.

The king smiled and said, "This prince is very discerning. This is a new fruit cultivated through our technology. We call it strawberry."

"Fifth brother, try it!"

Fifth Master also tasted one, and it tasted really good, so he praised it repeatedly.

"Can I have a small request? Give us some of the strawberry seeds, I want to take them back and plant them!" Xiao Qiye said.

"Okay, no problem!" The king readily agreed.

The king chatted with the two men about their country's army, and both of them yearned for God. It turns out that their technology is so advanced and their army is so powerful. There are many things they have never heard of before, especially when Xiao Qi heard that What weapons are of particular interest.

"Wait a minute, the Maxim gun you mentioned just now, can you describe it to us again?"

The king described to the two the power of this gun, which can fire bullets in rapid succession, which can greatly improve combat efficiency if it goes to the battlefield.

"Fifth Brother, we can't come here in vain, we have to order a batch of these guns back!" Little Seventh Master leaned close to Fifth Master's ear and said with piercing eyes.
