A moment later, a pig-like scream was heard not far away.

"Two sisters, lighter, lighter. ”

"It hurts, it hurts, it's peeling, it's peeling. ”

"Hot, hot, hot, cooked!

Jing Zhongyue turned a deaf ear to the screams of the crane in the clouds, and said directly: "Leng Bi, come in!"

Leng Bi walked in and knelt down on one knee.

Jing Zhongyue continued to look at the map in a daze.

This is a map of the entire Borderlands, and one of them has been painted red, and the area is still very small, nearly a hundred miles long.

This is the pain of the Jing family!

Once the master of the Jing clan was unscrupulous, he lost most of his territory, and even the inheritance of his ancestors was taken away, and the domestic servant An became the master of Rift Valley.

After that, Jing Er came out of nowhere, not only regaining the position of the lord of the city, but also regaining most of the territory, and even expanding the territory to 13,000 square kilometers.

But only this one territory has never been recaptured.

Deciduous collar!

A few decades ago, the Jing family declined and the An family rebelled.

At that time, the city lord of Jing was tired of rebelling against the An family, but he had no soldiers in his hands, so he borrowed troops from his in-laws Mo family to quell the rebellion.

I don't know if he was kicked in the brain by a donkey, or if he was fooled and coaxed, he actually signed a contract.

leased the fallen leaf collar to the Mo family for fifty years, in exchange for the Mo family to borrow 5,000 soldiers.

After obtaining 5,000 Mo's troops, the city lord launched a decisive battle against the An rebellion.

As a result, he lost completely, the foundation of Splitty Valley was taken away, and the entire Jing family was almost completely killed, and An became the new master of Rift Valley.

After the rise of Jing'e, it continued to expand and was majestic.

But this deciduous collar that was ceded has always been the pain of Jing and the shame of the Jing family.

In order to take back the leaf collar, Jing Er used both soft and hard, and fought at least three times.

But the Mo family's Washing Jade City is too strong, and the three major battles are all indistinguishable.

The soldiers were defeated, but they did not take back the leaf collar.

In the Borderlands, in terms of territory, food, and weapons, the Mo family in Yucheng is above the Jing family.

Of course, in terms of money, the Jing clan is richer, because the Jing clan has a monopoly on the salt trade.

But what is the use of money? The two most important things that Jing Shi does not have, one is iron ore and the other is grain, and they need to be bought with money.

And the Mo family in Xiyucheng, although not as rich as the Jing family, has countless grains.

There are dozens of princes in the entire borderland, and the Mo clan ranking in the Jade Washing City is still above the Jing clan.

What's even more ridiculous is that this deciduous collar is a big granary.

The Jing family's strategic location in the Rift Valley is very crucial, but the terrain is treacherous, the cultivated land is extremely scarce, and the grain produced in a year is not enough to eat for half a year, and most of the rest depends on trade.

However, there are nearly 800,000 acres of fertile land in just one deciduous collar, and it is still being cultivated. Every year, enough food is produced for millions of people.

Therefore, the biggest pain in Jing E's life is that he has not been able to take away the big granary of the leaf collar.

This also became a pain in the heart of Jing Zhongyue.

Now, the Lend-Lease Treaty signed between the Jing family and the Mo family is about to expire.

Fifty years are coming soon.

But the Mo family didn't have any intention of returning it.

The two sides have been negotiating for more than a dozen rounds, but there is still no result.

What is certain is that once the fifty-year period is up, if Jing Zhongyue does not regain this deciduous collar, it will be fatal to Splitwind City.

The lease period is up, and you still can't get it back, isn't this incompetent?

The other princes will also see your weakness in Splitwind City, and when the time comes, the wolves will pounce on you and eat the whole of Splitwind City.

Especially in the recent Lordlands Princes' Assembly, there was a very dire signal.

The Mo family is colluding with other princes to impose trade sanctions on Splitwind City, that is, to stop the sale of grain and iron ore to Splitwind City.

The reason is that the Jing family launched an unjust war against Akisui Castle, a vassal force in the south, last year.

However, that battle must be fought.

Because after Jing Er fainted and fell, the city of Autumn Water in the south took advantage of the fire to instigate a rebellion in the southernmost boar territory of Rift Valley.

If Jing Zhongyue does not quell the rebellion and completely damage Qiushui City, I am afraid that the entire Rift Valley will be full of smoke.

In less than a month, the war ended.

Jing Zhongyue not only quelled the rebellion, but also wiped out the 5,000 troops of Akishui City, and also seized a territory of Akishui City, nearly 1,000 square kilometers, which was merged into the Wild Boar Territory.

At this point, although the Wild Boar Territory is still the poorest territory in the Rift Valley, it is also the largest territory, reaching 2,000 square kilometers.

It was that battle that completely played the prestige of Jing Zhongyue.

Now the Jingguan, which is made up of thousands of human heads, is still placed in the southernmost part of the wild boar realm, deterring those lords internally and the princes who are sharpening their knives externally.

"Leng Bi, you have resentment in your heart. Jing Zhongyue said: "Because I reuse Chu Zhaoran." ”

Leng Bi knelt down and said, "My subordinates don't dare." ”

Jing Zhongyue said: "Everyone says that I play some imperial tricks and don't want to put the intelligence forces in your hands alone, so let Chu Zhaoran come out to divide power, the two of you check and balance each other, and I can also sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and watch the courtiers under my command fight." ”

Leng Bi still said: "My subordinates don't dare." ”

Jing Zhongyue said: "You have done a good job, the counter-espionage of Split Wind City has done an extremely good job. Even your existence has made the secret agents of the Great Win Empire and the Southern Zhou Empire discouraged, and there are no less than thousands of people you have killed in the past few years, which can be described as a great achievement. ”

Leng Bi continued to kneel motionless.

Jing Zhongyue said: "However, you are too focused on the intelligence forces of the Great Win Empire and the Southern Zhou Empire. The most dangerous situation we face right now is that the princes of the Borderlands want to use our Rift Valley as their first sacrifice. ”

"Do you know what the agenda of this meeting of princes is?"

Leng Bi said: "My subordinates don't know. ”

Jing Zhongyue said: "The first is unity, in the face of the aggressiveness of the Southern Zhou Empire and the Great Win Empire, the thirty-seven princes of the Borderlands must be more united. There are proposals for the formation of a coalition army, or even a United Kingdom in the future. ”

Leng Bi said: "This is the will of the first prince of the Borderland, the Tantai family?"

Jing Zhongyue said: "Of course it's the Tantai clan, but the Tantai clan will definitely not say it explicitly, it was proposed by the Li clan of Drifting Zero City." ”

Everyone knows that the Li family is just a lackey of the Shantai clan.

Unify the entire Borderlands?

This is indeed a very tempting ideal.

500,000 square kilometers of borderland, tens of millions of people, more than enough to build a kingdom.

The Tantai clan is the number one prince in the Borderlands, and has served as the leader of the alliance for three consecutive terms.

According to the rules of the Borderlands Alliance Assembly, any one prince can serve a maximum of three alliance leaders.

Now the 21-year deadline is approaching.

Jing Zhongyue said: "There is another issue, our old enemy in the south, Qiushui City, has proposed to sanction our Rift Valley, cut off our grain and mineral trade, and completely blockade our Rift Valley, and it has already received a response from some princes, and even the alliance leader of the Tantai clan has an ambiguous attitude. ”

"We in Split Wind City seem to be rich in the world, but in fact, it is full of dangers. ”

"If you can't take the big granary of the Leaf Collar this time, and face the joint blockade of all the princes of the Borderlands, it will be a catastrophe. ”

"And this crisis cannot be solved by war, but more needs to be solved by diplomacy and intelligence. ”

"That's why I want to reuse Chu Zhaoran, and your next job is still counter-espionage, and the target is still the secret agents of the Southern Zhou Empire and the Great Win Empire. Chu Zhaoran, on the other hand, will focus more on the other princes of the Borderlands, your duty is to guard the house, and his duty is to pioneer. ”

"Recapturing the strategically important Deciduous Territory and smashing the enemy's conspiracy to blockade Rift Valley is our next number one strategy, understand?"

Leng Bi kowtowed: "Yes, my subordinates understand." ”

"Jing is boundless, you are my sister-in-law, Chu Zhaoran is my senior brother, you are all my right-hand man, you are my closest people, you must unite as one, don't be suspicious of each other, the foundation of Rift Valley for hundreds of years still depends on you. ”

Leng Bi continued to kowtow and said: "My subordinates are broken to pieces, and they will not give up. ”

Then, Leng Bi said: "What about the crane in the clouds?"

Jing Zhongyue said: "I want to see if he is as handsome as the legend, and if so, then I will also be of great use to him." ”

At this moment, the servant woman outside trembled slightly: "Lord, Yun Aotian Gongzi is here. ”

Huh? That's not right.

You didn't call Yun Aotian Gongzi just now, and your attitude was indifferent and rude, but now your voice trembled slightly, and you were shy.

Yun Zhonghe said to the servant woman: "Auntie, after you saw my true face, your face was red and your ears were red, and your legs were weak, which I am very grateful for, because this is a full affirmation of my beauty. But...... I must tell you, it is impossible between us. I have long had a place in my heart, and I fell in love with the bright moon in the sky. ”

Is this a confession to Jing Zhongyue?

Leng Bi glanced at Jing Zhongyue and asked if she wanted to break Yun Zhonghe's legs.

Jing Zhongyue didn't pay attention to it, but looked at the screen expectantly, waiting for the appearance of the crane in the clouds, she wanted to see what this handsome man described in the intelligence was like.

A gust of wind blew, and the hem of the crane's robe fluttered in the clouds.

Alas, I've been waiting for you for a long time!

Then, slowly, he stepped out from behind the screen.

Suddenly......

Jing Zhongyue and Leng Bi's beautiful eyes widened.

There is no exaggeration in the intelligence, this crane in the clouds is really handsome and miserable.

Really handsome and blind.

Especially since he had always been a beggar before, and now he suddenly became so handsome and incomparable, the contrast is too great.

After being quiet for a while, Jing Zhongyue said: "More beautiful than a woman, your face is indeed a sharp weapon, I will reuse you." ”

....................................

Note: No matter how handsome the crane in the clouds is, it can't be as handsome as you are Engong! I am so stammering, does Lord Engong have a recommendation vote for me?
