Chapter 303 Territorial Awareness
Therefore, Zhaoyue was quite satisfied with the actions of the three people from Duanyun Village.
Xiao Tingye's fingertips gently stroked the edge of the teacup, and he spoke slowly, "As far as I know, not all the bandits in the Nine Villages and Eighteen Valleys follow the orders of Duanyun Village. Even if we were to recruit them, it would probably be quite a hassle to discipline this ragtag group."
Lin Zhaoyue raised her eyebrows slightly, her eyes flickering with a hint of cunning. "This will depend on Master Xiao. The Privy Council oversees military affairs, so I hope you will take care of the matter of incorporating the bandits."
Xiao Tingye's eyes moved slightly when he heard this, and he already understood what she meant.
As the head of the Privy Council, he could have stayed out of local military affairs like the bandit incorporation. After all, these bandits would ultimately be incorporated into the local garrison, so he didn't need to personally intervene.
but--
He put down the military newspaper in his hand, tapped his slender fingers on the table, and a meaningful smile played on his lips.
"Duanyun Village does have a number of talented individuals available," Lin Zhaoyue said calmly. "I've personally witnessed their combat prowess, which is three times greater than the garrison troops. They've especially accumulated a wealth of combat experience from their years of dealing with the Xiling Army. If they could be trained by a competent general, they could be selected to join the elite division."
She paused, her eyes raised slightly. "Of course, there are some who are just filling in the numbers. As for the details of military organization and selection of troops..." She deliberately dragged out the last syllable, "After all, I am not as proficient as Lord Xiao. I will entrust the matter of recruiting to you."
After saying that, she smiled and looked at Xiao Tingye with burning eyes.
The man's fingertips tapping on the table suddenly paused.
He then curled the corners of his lips, his gaze fixed on her face with even greater intensity, "Your Highness is looking at me like this, is there any reason for me not to accept this order?"
"I will take care of the affairs of Duanyun Village."
Xiao Tingye naturally knew a lot about Duanyun Village.
However, he didn't know before that Duanyun Village was just a backup plan arranged by Lin Zhaoyue.
And when they found out that Duanyun Village and the rebel army were both arranged by the two of them in Xiling to balance the power of Xuanping Hou.
He was actually extremely happy.
Because he knew that there was such a tacit understanding between the two of them.
This kind of tacit understanding is enough to make him excited.
At this moment, Chi Dian, who had landed on the windowsill, saw a bird occupying the territory that should have belonged to it, and immediately spread his wings and swooped down.
In the blink of an eye, the bird fell down stiffly.
Chi Dian pecked it again, then picked it up and threw it out, then flew back to the windowsill.
He puffed out his chest proudly towards Lin Zhaoyue and made a series of chattering sounds.
Xiao Tingye commented calmly, "His territorial awareness is quite strong."
He knew that Chi Dian was not an ordinary bird. Apart from the fact that it was a gift from Qi Yue to Lin Zhaoyue, he didn't have any major objections to the bird.
I even like this bird.
After all, this bird had conveyed messages between him and Lin Zhaoyue.
So he could only continue to impose this unhappiness on Qi Yue.
Lin Zhaoyue raised her hand, and Chi Dian flew over and landed obediently in her palm.
Xiao Tingye frowned slightly.
Red lightning is highly poisonous.
Even though she knew it wouldn't hurt her, she still felt worried.
Chi Dian shook his fluffy feathers and rubbed her palm with the hair on his cheek with a flattering look on his face.
She chuckled and stroked its feathers. "It has a strong sense of territory. I just feel sorry for that bird."
Xiao Tingye looked out the window and said slowly, "Trespassing into someone else's territory without permission is not a pity. Your Highness, you are truly kind-hearted."
Lin Zhaoyue remained silent.
This is not the first day she has known someone like Xiao Tingye.
It has always been like this.
