The weather is still hot in late summer. In the afternoon, cicadas howled at the top of their throats on the trees, making people feel more and more irritable when they hear it.

At this moment, Yu Jiulu Dou Luoling was lying on the bed in the dormitory, hugging a little lady in his arms. The two of them were naked, only a thin quilt covered.

Seeing that he seemed to be listening to the cicadas, the young lady asked if she wanted someone to stick the cicadas away. Dou Luoling shook her head: "No."

Seeing this, the other party continued to snuggle in his arms, closed his eyes, and looked satisfied.

Dou Luoling looked at the newly-accepted concubine in his arms, but his thoughts were taken elsewhere by the cicada's screams.

He likes to hear the cicadas' calls because this means that he has found a forest on the grassland, and there is probably a source of water nearby.

Once you find the woods, you can obtain a lot of wood, repair damaged trucks, and repair many utensils.

There are usually many wild fruits and many small beasts in the woods, like a small treasure house.

So, he likes to hear the cicadas' screams.

I can't forget the past.

Once upon a time, he was a royal family of the Rouran Khanate, but when the Khanate was destroyed, he was an ordinary civilian. In order to avoid disaster, he changed his name and surname.

Yujiulou Luoling was renamed Yudou, and was incorporated into a military household, served as a soldier in Qi State, and lived in the military office.

But he was short of money and couldn't afford to marry. He was almost thirty and still lived alone.

I have been making do with friends on weekdays, but I didn’t expect that I would be today.

Previously, the capital of Qi, Yecheng, was captured by Chu in the south, and Hebei was occupied by Chu. Douluoling, like many Qi soldiers, was transferred to Chu for his life.

This sale was sold at a sky-high price: because of his killing of Turkic Yehu, Khan's brother Ashinakutou, he made great contributions and was granted the title of Marquis.

The Emperor of Chu also had to meet him in person and praised him in front of many high-ranking officials.

Therefore, Douluoling had a title and a fief (fair title), and instantly changed from a broken military household to a superior.

With a big house, money, food and many servants, people are serving their daily lives, and their dietary standards are greatly improved.

The officials arranged for the marquis's office to assist officials, and he didn't have to worry about the daily affairs of the office at all.

In the past, because of the shortage of money, I could only go to the cheapest romantic scene to find an old woman to relieve her fire. Now...

Now, because he has money, he gritted his teeth and bought a beautiful little lady, and enjoyed her day and night, and could do whatever she wanted.

He is a "marquis", so when he goes out, he has a grand four-wheeled carriage for transportation. There are people leading the way in front and guarding the left and right, everything is different.

He also found his friends from that year (provided that he was not dead and was still in Yecheng) and lived in the mansion, so he lived a good life.

During this period, Dou Luoling and his friends have drunk and had fun, archery, hunting, and then went to the racecourse to pass the time. They were so happy.

He also helped the good people who helped him in the past to repay his kindness.

Yu Dou, the former destitute military household, has now become a "marquis". There are endless matchmakers who come to talk about matchmaking, and the choice of brides makes him look dazzling.

Douluoling, who was supposed to die in the Great Radius, vented his heart's content during this period and gradually returned to calm.

Just like now, after he poured himself into the beauty, his restless heart was as calm as the silence of the lake, without any turbulence.

Start thinking about a question: Where should we go next?

He is a descendant of Yu Jiulu, just like that... just like Yu Dou's name to spend the rest of his life?

The descendants of one's descendants no longer remember the glorious surname "Yujiulu", but continue the incense of "Yu"?

However, it is not that easy to restore the country.

Dou Luoling lay on the bed, staring blankly at the curtain above.

He made great contributions and was named a marquis. He was promoted from a small soldier to an officer. Next, he would go to Kaifeng and go to military academy to further his studies.

After graduating from the military academy, he officially became an officer of the Central Army and led troops to fight.

If you perform well and make contributions, you will naturally be able to climb up step by step.

This is the current rule of the State of Chu. Even if the soldiers who have made meritorious soldiers have to go to the military academy for further study.

Learn how to lead troops and learn to read and write.

This road is very stable, and it was a comfortable life he dared not imagine in the past. However, following this road means that he has been working as a soldier of Chu State as the name "Yu Dou".

Another way is to take advantage of the Chu State to encourage the rich people of the border areas, merchants and tribes in the southern affiliation to operate border trade, and to expand the grassland, participate in border trade through "authorized operation" and create their own home business on the grassland.

Then, during the business process, the team is continuously strengthened and the strongholds are added, and this is the basis for restoring the country. When the time is ripe, then...

Dou Luoling believes that this opportunity is rare, and once you miss it, you will really miss it.

Because the quota for "authorized operation" is limited, and now the border affairs are complicated, the threshold for business qualifications is not very high.

He had just made great contributions and was just happy that the emperor made the request to "pull the team to do border trade", and there was definitely no problem.

He may even send him additional staff to make it easier and provide more supplies.

There are two roads in front of Douluoling. One is to be a hawk for Chu State with peace of mind. As long as you make a contribution, you can climb up, have no worries about food and clothing, and have guarantees for your descendants.

The other way is to restore the country, but it is very difficult. And if you lead the team to fight on the grassland, maybe if you are not careful, you will lose your people.

He has experienced storms and knew that life on the grassland is actually very dangerous. He must guard against both outsiders and insiders, otherwise it will be easy to be killed.

If something happens to a tribe, ordinary tribes will never recognize the new master. Anyway, it is not to let go of sheep for whom, but the leader of the tribe will usually die of the whole family (male).

If he wants to pull up a team to fight on the grassland, he has to take all kinds of risks, but even if he persists, he may not be able to do so.

So, what should I do?

His true surname and identity can be secretly told to his son when he becomes an adult, and then to his grandson in the future.

It has been passed down from generation to generation, so that future generations can know that they are descendants of the Rouran Khanate.

This method is also good, it is much safer than going to kill yourself.

But if he hadn't entered the Great Dynasty to pursue Ashinakutou with the idea of ​​dying together, would he be today?

His current wealth comes from his courage to fight for life and God's blessing, and finally he was rescued by friendly forces.

If you deal with the matter when fighting with the army in order to save your life, now you will definitely be a devastating military household.

Moreover, even if you take the first path, you have to lead troops to fight and take risks. Maybe one day you are shot by a rock on the battlefield and end your life.

Since you are taking risks to fight for wealth...

Dou Luoling felt that it was not impossible to follow the second path.

If you don’t have the chance to restore your country in the future, but you have your own family business and have your own family business in the border areas, isn’t it better to be a rich man in the Central Plains?

The beauty in her arms was already asleep. Dou Luoling got up quietly, covered her body with a thin quilt, put on her clothes, left the dormitory, and moved to the front yard of the Archery Hall.

In the archery hall, many men were competing for archery. When they saw him coming, they gathered.

Yu Dou became rich and did not forget their poor friends from the past. They were asked to live in the Marquis' Mansion to eat, drink and have fun together. They were all very grateful for this.

When I see someone coming, of course I have to come over to greet me.

When Dou Luoling saw these former partners, he thought about the fact that everyone had collected money to drink, teased the little lady in the restaurant, and imagined the future together, and quickly made up his mind.

"As I said before, in the future, among us, we must not forget our friends."

He said slowly, looking at his partner: "The court encourages grassland border trade. I want to take everyone to form a team to go to the grassland to fight for something and make a fortune. Everyone, are you willing to go together?"

The news that Dou Luoling said that "the imperial court encourages grassland border trade" has spread in Yecheng, and some wealthy merchants have begun to prepare and obtain "business license".

When everyone heard this, they were happy and said, "Go together, go together!"
