Early the next morning, Shen Lanying got up very early, looked at the sky outside the window, and estimated that it would be seven o'clock in the morning. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

As soon as I got up from the bed and sighed, the door was pushed open. The twin maids, Tong Yu and Xue Li, walked in, still carrying a basin of water for washing and clothes.

Shen Lanying said puzzledly, "Didn't you say that I would just come by myself." ”

"But Your Highness, haven't the Xuan brothers and sisters already left?" Tong Yu put the washbasin next to Shen Lanying's bed, and looked at Shen Lanying with the same puzzlement.

Shen Lanying understood that these two maids thought that she was afraid of being seen through by the Xuan brothers and sisters, so they didn't let them serve by her side.

Shen Lanying roared sadly in her heart: I'm afraid that you two guys will see through your identity!

Xuan Ling's high IQ has long seen that she is Princess Zhaoying, and she doesn't need to be guarded against at all.

With the help of the two maids, he washed his face awkwardly and got dressed, just as the two maids were taking care of Shen Lanying's hair together, Wang Yichen walked in.

"Half Immortal, don't you knock on the door?" Shen Lanying glanced at him with disgust, "Is there anything wrong with coming over so early in the morning?"

Wang Yichen didn't behave as elegantly as Sikong Yan, he walked into the house with a big grin, naturally pulled a stool and sat down, and asked straight to the point, "How is it, do you want to go?"

Shen Lanying raised her arm and looked at the overly gorgeous dress on her body, "You asked the two of them to bring this dress to me to wear, you expected that I would definitely go." ”

"That's right!" Wang Yichen leaned against the table, looking at the two maids cleaning up Shen Lanying's hair, and smiled brightly, "Looking at your attitude yesterday, I knew that you would definitely go, after all, you know that Luo Xingyan is also in Longzhou, and she is also very likely to appear in the Heroes Club." Whatever the purpose, you're definitely going to go. ”

Wang Yichen is right. When Jiang Yuwan was still alive, the relationship with Luo Xingyan was not good, but the Luo family controlled a considerable part of the military force in Mobei, and it was a force that the five princes had to balance.

This Luo Xingyan is also the daughter of the head of the Luo family and an important general in the north, so improving the relationship between Princess Zhaoying and Luo Xingyan is a necessary prerequisite for taking the Luo family.

Regarding this matter, Shen Lanying thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to take the initiative to curry favor with Luo Xingyan. It is said that Princess Zhaoying is very smart and outstanding. However, judging from the point of being bad with Luo Xingying, Princess Zhaoying is definitely not smart.

"Which hairpin does the princess want to use?" Tong Yu asked softly with a jewelry box.

"Blue this. "It matches the blue glass pendant she was wearing. The price of glass in the Yong Dynasty was very high, so Shen Lanying was not worried that wearing a glass pendant would lose the identity of Princess Zhaoying.

Looking at herself in the bronze mirror, she is completely a classical lady, completely inconsistent with her inner character. Shen Lanying simply let the two maids dress up, and chatted with Wang Yichen by herself.

"Banxian'er, the country that fought with our Yong Dynasty in the north and then was defeated is called Linghai Kingdom, right?"

"Yes, the transliteration is Linghai. Speaking of which, their territory is not large, and the area is equivalent to three Longzhou. ”

"Three Longzhou? Isn't that only one-tenth of the Yong Dynasty? It's just a small country, how can it bother the Yong Dynasty for so many years?"

Wang Yichen leaned lazily on the table, "It's not because of the turtles in the north." The land area of that Qiuzi country is about the same as our Yong Dynasty, although it does not directly border the Yong Dynasty, but the distance is very close. And Khotan and Linghai, which are sandwiched between the two countries, often have friction, so it is inevitable to take sides. Na Linghai only clashed with the Yong Dynasty on the surface, but secretly he got the benefits of Qiuzi. However, Khotan was close to the Yong Dynasty, and this time he also sent troops to assist the Luo family in the battle. ”

"I see. Shen Lanying digested the information in Wang Yichen's words. Sikong Yan didn't mention the situation in the north to her at all, because Princess Zhaoying never cared about this.

But she is different, she is fighting to help Sikong Yan as the goal, and she must understand the military situation.

Shen Lanying thought for a moment and asked, "Half Immortal, you said, if Linghai came sincerely this time." Then the Luo family's army in the north ......" Shen Lanying glanced at Tong Yu and Xue Li, who were quietly combing her hair, through the bronze mirror, and complained in her heart that it was really troublesome to have the two of them here, and she always had to pay attention to the title of the speech, "I'm wondering, will my father weaken the power of the Luo family?"

The cunning rabbit dies, the lackeys cook, the birds are exhausted, and the good bow is hidden. If Linghai really wants to have friendly relations with the Yong Dynasty, then the existence of the Luo family will be meaningless.

In times of peace, as long as an emperor is in his right mind, he will not allow his courtiers to hold heavy troops.

Wang Yichen said without thinking, "Your word 'if' is not valid at all. Besides, their geographical environment is adjacent to the sea in the east, and there is an enemy country in Khotan in the west, and the north and south are sandwiched between our Yong Dynasty and Qiuci. If they want to form an alliance with the Yong Dynasty, Qiuzi will inevitably take him to the knife, and the soldiers of the Luo family and Khotan have long held grudges against them, and it is impossible to help them at all, so they will only take advantage of the fire to rob. ”

Shen Lanying's eyes moved, "So, Linghai Kingdom's visit to peace this time is just a pretense? They just want to find a reason to recuperate, wait for a decade or two, and attack our Yong Dynasty in a big way?"

Wang Yichen bowed his head and said, "That's right, I think that at present, Linghai is the plan." However, after a decade or two, who knows if their current emperor is still alive. Maybe the next generation of emperors will change their minds, and maybe in a decade or two, there will be any changes in Qiuzi. ”

Shen Lanying's eyes lit up, "In other words, the border situation is undecided, and it is very likely that the Luo family will continue to be in charge of troops in the north?"

"It's hard to say. Wang Yichen shrugged his shoulders helplessly, "Who knows what the situation in our country is?" It can only be said that the Luo family is more likely to continue to stay in the north, and the probability is only 60 percent." ”

If the enemy is harmed inside, they will rob their land, and if the enemy is harmed outside, they will rob their people, and as for internal and external harm......

Shen Lanying sighed secretly, if the Linghai Kingdom and the Qiuzi Kingdom knew, the Yong Dynasty would have been in turmoil for the throne for a long time, and learned that in the eastern part of the Yong Dynasty, several small countries in Huaihai had also begun to make trouble. Then this Linghai, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to surrender.

Internal and external harm is an excellent time to take advantage of the fire to rob.

As long as Linghai further intensifies the internal contradictions of the Yong Dynasty, splits the major forces from each other, takes the opportunity to weaken the military power of the Luo family, and breaks through the Yanping Pass, he can count the days.
