Wen Sibo and Jiang Weibai couldn't help but be full of sadness when they heard this, and their eyes were wet with tears.

And Xizhen, who is playing and singing at the same time, although her heart is also full of sentimentality, she still remains calm on the surface.

It's just that the listener still heard the thousands of parting meanings in her heart.

However, although they heard it, no one broke it.

They knew that this woman who looked so delicate was ready to do something earth-shattering again, and, this time, she had set her sights on the outside of Xi territory.

Or, it wasn't her intention, it's just that she was aware of this shape, so her heart was original. Responsive and arranged.

A person who knows how to foresee the future, will she harbor more fear in her heart than others? In their minds, it was inevitable, but they couldn't see this fear in Xizhen's body, and she was so calm that it was moving.

Her indifference, calmness, and superb ability all give people a faint sense of loneliness, as if she was not from this dynasty.

It's just that everyone misses what she has done for Xiguo, so they subconsciously respect her and get close to her.

Although she was only a sixteen-year-old girl.

But everyone didn't think she was the kind of lady who was raised in the boudoir.

There was a bigger world in her eyes, bigger than they could have imagined.

"Wait a minute." Wen Sibo said, slowly getting up and entering the back room.

After a while, he walked out with a scroll.

"This is a picture I made in my spare time, and I give it to you." Wensberg said as he handed it over.

Xi Zhen hurriedly took it and said, "Thank you, teacher!" ”

She unfolded the scroll slowly.

It is a landscape painting.

The painting depicts several small islands in the sea. The clouds and mist around the island linger, a few leaves on the river, and a few flowers and plants in the vicinity. There is a lot of white space in the whole painting. But it adds room for imagination.

Hee-jin's eyes moistened.

She was flattered by such an artistic conception of the painting, for fear that she would not be able to bear its beauty and deep meaning.

"As indifferent as heaven and earth, as free as a light boat, I believe you can do it." Wensber said.

Xi Zhen nodded in thanks.

Then, Jiang Weibai also played a song for everyone.

Jiang Weibai chose a cheerful tune to ease the sad atmosphere.

The three of them finally began to talk and laugh.

It wasn't until the sun went down that Xizhen and Weibai said goodbye to their teacher. Go home separately.

…………………….

The two prime ministers and the members of the 'National Talent Think Tank' were very supportive of Shen Xizhen's proposal to 'shorten the term of office of the frontier generals', so Emperor Guangzhao finally agreed to implement the deployment.

Shen Xizhen expressed his gratitude for his support.

"Your Majesty, the courtiers have recently calculated and learned. There will be a force in the northwest that will invade Xi Kingdom, so we have to be prepared to take precautions. Shen Xizhen said to Emperor Guangzhao.

"Is it war?" Emperor Guangzhao put down the teacup in his hand and asked with a nervous face. Isn't the northwest direction the junction of the Globe Country and the Xi Kingdom?

"Yes, but it's a war without gunpowder." Xi Zhen replied calmly.

"How?" Emperor Guangzhao was puzzled.

Hee-jin informed him of her test results.

Emperor Guangzhao was taken aback when he learned of the test results.

"It's expected to happen within a month." Shen Xizhen said.

"Do you have a plan for that?" Emperor Guangzhao asked again.

"Yes. First, build a bridge near the Globe Border. It can connect the two countries. ”

"I'm afraid this is not allowed, because it involves the border security of the two countries, the issue is very big and sensitive, and we will definitely be reported before we can start work." Emperor Guangzhao said.

The courtiers took this into account, so the bridge designed by the courtiers could be moved, telescopic, and deformed, so that it could not be easily discovered, to be precise. As long as you don't use it, you can't see it. ”

"Moving, stretching, and deforming?" Emperor Guangzhao's face was full of curiosity.

"Yes." Xi Zhen said. She took a piece of paper out of her pocket and unfolded it, revealing the blueprint of the stretching bridge.

At first glance, Emperor Guangzhao saw that it was structured like a large circle, but when one of the switches was pulled, it would slowly stretch out, forming a straight bridge, the length of which was just enough to reach the hills on the border of the ball country.

In this way, the Xi people can easily avoid the iron fence they have set up and reach the country directly.

It's also easy to shrink and fast.

And best of all, it can also be moved, so it can be used in many places where bridges are needed.

"How did you come up with the idea of making it?" Emperor Guangzhao was stunned in surprise.

"I just came up with it after I went to the border to investigate." Xi Zhen replied.

In modern times, she studied art and design, and has always been exposed to and studied all kinds of exotic designs, so it is not surprising that she can design it.

"That's amazing! Guang'anhou, I really admire you! ”

"The emperor has won the award."

"I'll send someone to make zuò right away."

"A courtier can recommend someone to the emperor, and his skills are very good."

"Oh?"

So Shen Xizhen said Wan Haimo's name.

"Oh, I've heard of this guy too, okay, let's find him."

………………………

Half a day later, Wan Haimo entered the palace and met Emperor Guangzhao and Shen Xizhen in women's clothes.

Only then did Wan Haimo know that it was Shen Xizhen, a famous woman in Xi Kingdom, who asked him to build a house before.

Emperor Guangzhao handed him the blueprints and told him to start work immediately.

Wan Haimo immediately took the order to retire and began the work of making the telescopic bridge.

"After the zuò is ready, you can take it to the Qiuxi border." Xizhen said to Emperor Guangzhao.

Because she has a pulley under this equipment, it is easy to take it to the Qiuxi border, and because of its unique shape, outsiders will not think of it as a bridge, which avoids the danger of leaking secrets.

Wan Haimo sighed in his heart as he walked home: "I was wondering about Shen Gongzi's gender, I didn't expect it to be a woman, and she is so charming, which makes me admire her ability even more." ”

Who would have thought that so many reform policies in the past two years in the Xi Kingdom would come from such a delicate woman?

Remembering the process of helping her make a zuò trap house last time, he is still impressed.

With so much unheard of and unseen equipment, so many rigorous details, he couldn't help but marvel in his heart again.

…………………

Ten days later, at noon, Zichen Palace.

"Your Majesty, the messenger has sent a letter urgently." Father-in-law Liu trotted in from outside and said.

Emperor Guangzhao, who had just sat down to criticize the folding, hurriedly raised his eyes and saw that it was a sealed letter, and the envelope was printed with the national flower of the country of the ball, which read "Emperor Guangzhao personally opened"

Guang'an Hou was right, and the country really took action.

Emperor Guangzhao hurriedly reached out and took the letter.

"I heard that there is a strange woman in your country, who can not only predict the future, but also be good at strategy, and has helped Xi to consolidate the frontier, revitalize commerce and agriculture, and also strengthen the internal crackdown, and crack down on corrupt officials, so I want to invite her to come to the country to be my national teacher, and help the country to embark on the road to prosperity and strength, the period is one year, and when the deadline is up, I will personally send her back to your country and give you ten cities, do you think it?"

Emperor Guangzhao fell into deep thought after reading the letter.

It turns out that Shen Xizhen's war without gunpowder refers to this!

However, she was a weak woman and was sent to another country as a national teacher for a year, which is an extremely dangerous thing no matter how you look at it.

At that time, in the hands of the monarch of the ball country, he can only kill or chop him.

Emperor Guangzhao couldn't bear to let Shen Xizhen do such a dangerous thing.

Besides, she is still his future daughter-in-law and beloved son.

However, the king of the country said that ten cities would be in exchange.

Ten cities are indeed a great temptation for the small land area of the Xi Kingdom.

Emperor Guangzhao came to Chu Zihou and told him about it.

"Absolutely not, father, no matter how powerful Guang'an Hou is, she is just a weak woman, when she goes to a foreign country, her personal safety is not guaranteed, how can people rest assured?" Chu Zihou hurriedly knelt down and pleaded.

"I also think this request is risky, but if we don't agree, we are afraid that they will raise an army and threaten it." Emperor Guangzhao said with a sigh.

He's seen a lot of things like the jungle.

Although the Xi country now has strong walls and new weapons, if it really fights with the ball country, even if it can win, it will definitely suffer heavy losses, because it is obvious that people have made preparations, so if they can avoid war, they must avoid it as much as possible, which is a wise choice.

However, if he agrees to the request of the monarch of the country, Shen Xizhen's personal safety will not be guaranteed. Even if she can save her life with her own wisdom, isn't it tantamount to using her strategy to help other countries become rich and strong?

In short, this is a dilemma.

"Father, if you really have to go with her, then please allow your sons to go with you." Chu Zihou said again.

"Presumptuous." Emperor Guangzhao stood up with a swish.

"This is absolutely unacceptable, if you are also held hostage by the people of the world, then the entire Xi country is in danger! So, no matter what, I will never allow you to go, and don't even think about it. Emperor Guangzhao said with a stern face.

After that, Emperor Guangzhao left angrily.

Chu Zihou, who was walking in the night, was full of contradictions, and he knew that within three days, Emperor Guangzhao would have to reply to the monarch of the country of Qiu. And the result of his reply will directly affect Xi Zhen's safety, he can't sit idly by, he must find a way to stop his father from doing so.

But he also knew that he had to consider the consequences of refusing the request of the Ball Monarch.

That's a bigger problem.

Under the dilemma, Chu Zihou was so worried that he felt that every step of his feet seemed to be dragged by lead.

Could it be that this is what she once said about leaving?

If so, does that mean she can't come back?

No! He shouted to the sky, jumped on the white horse and went straight to the palace. (To be continued......)
