"Chain fortresses are built exclusively on the border, in districts and in districts, from the side of each district facing the edge of the border, extending into the central hinterland of the district. From above, these chain fortresses are like honeycombs, interlocking with each other, forming a formation that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Its wall is three zhang high, one zhang wide, and a beacon tower is built every twenty zhang on the top of the wall, which is guarded by a special person. Xi Zhen carefully told Emperor Guangzhao.

This was the inspiration she got from the Great Wall, but she added some ideas of her own, and the result was this honeycomb-shaped moat.

Emperor Guangzhao listened with appreciation.

He hadn't heard of any country with such strong border defense equipment, and besides, Xi now had rockets and artillery, while several other countries had not, so the border of Xi was really 'impregnable', he thought in his heart, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He looked at the bright-eyed, witty, and beautiful young woman in front of him, feeling a little confused and a little relieved.

If I were younger...... He shook his head slightly, trying to shake off the thought, now it was different after all, he had a son who loved her deeply.

Seeing Emperor Guangzhao looking at him in a daze, Xi Zhen smiled at him, and then said: "Now that there is no war on the border, and most of the soldiers have been recuperating in recent years, this is a good time to build a fortress, if the plan is tighter and the supervision is in place, this work should be completed in less than three months." ”

"Hmm." Emperor Guangzhao nodded.

The work on the capital budget has been completed before, and now it is waiting for action.

Since there was no doubt, Emperor Guangzhao immediately issued an order to the magistrates and barracks leaders on the frontiers, asking them to immediately carry out the work as instructed, and sent officials to supervise the various regions so that they could know the progress of the project in time.

Once Emperor Guangzhao decided to do something, he was very resolute, which made Xizhen admire.

"Your Majesty, the courtiers have a request." Seeing that the important business had been completed, Xizhen immediately said.

"Please." Emperor Guangzhao waited for her to continue.

"The courtiers want to go to the border pass to have a look in person and deepen their understanding of the border terrain of the Xi Kingdom."

Emperor Guangzhao changed his sitting posture and said disapprerovingly: "Is this necessary?" Wouldn't you just know it by looking at the map? ”

In fact, he didn't want her to be away from him for too long, he was already used to relying on her.

"But the feeling of seeing it on the spot is still different, and it is also conducive to the courtier's planning. The courtiers promise you that they will not go for long, twenty days at most. ”

"Well, twenty days later it will be the beginning of the next month, which happens to be the day when King Qingping returns, and you promised me to play a song for me with him at that time."

"Well, the courtiers haven't forgotten about it." Hee Zhen nodded at him.

"So which area are you going to go to? When to go? Emperor Guangzhao asked again.

"I've already been to the border adjacent to Mao Country, and now I want to go to the border adjacent to three other countries." Xi Zhen hurriedly replied.

Emperor Guangzhao pondered for a while before he said, "Well, okay, I will send a few people with strong martial arts to accompany you." ”

The emperor sent someone to follow her, first, to spy on her to prevent her from leaking. Machine. Secrets to people from other countries, after all, she is now working by his side and knows a lot of secrets of Xi Kingdom. The second is to protect her, she is now a rare talent in the Xi Kingdom, and he doesn't want to lose her lightly.

This is exactly what Xi Zhen wants, so I hurriedly thanked him.

Emperor Guangzhao then asked Gonggong Liu to implement this matter.

After a while, Gonggong Liu led five soldiers with tall oxen and horses and wearing crimson uniforms to come in.

"You can cover Miss Shen tomorrow to go to the border gate." Emperor Guangzhao looked at them and commanded.

"No!" The five soldiers immediately received the order, saluted Xizhen again, and then retreated.

"Then, it will be another twenty days before I can see Miss Shen." In order to hide the faint sorrow in his heart, Emperor Guangzhao said with a smile.

Xi Zhen smiled without saying a word, her beautiful eyes turned her head to look at the bright sky outside the window, smiled slightly, and the warm sun-like melody poured out from her hand with a light touch of her jade hand on the strings.

When Xi Zhen walked out of the Zichen Palace, she stopped in front of the door and looked around, her eyes just touching one of the palace maids.

Suddenly, her brow furrowed.

She continued to walk quietly.

Many people know that she is good at occult arts, but they don't know that she can detect her good luck and motives just by looking at people's aura and appearance.

Sure enough, they began to guard against me, Xi Zhen said secretly in his heart, and the expression on his face became more and more resolute. She didn't look back, and walked forward calmly.

……………………

Chu Zican has been suffering from insomnia recently, and every time he lies in bed, he feels an invisible fear coming over him, and this feeling penetrates deep into every nerve of him, making him wake up suddenly even if he falls asleep, and he has to sit up from the bed and look around with frightened eyes.

As usual, Deng Gongcheng sat on a stool not far from him.

Seeing him wake up, Gonggong Deng asked worriedly, "Did the prince have nightmares again?" ”

"No, it's just ...... It's stuffy. He said, touching his sweaty forehead.

Father-in-law Deng immediately came to him with a fan to fan him.

He lay down, his eyes closed, but he couldn't sleep.

He wanted to hold his head and scream, and he wanted to cry happily, but he couldn't shed tears, only deep sadness and powerlessness.

"Am I scared of something? What am I afraid of? He asked himself.

He also vaguely knew the source of this anxiety, though he was reluctant to admit it.

As this fear grew, he knew he had to find a way to solve it, or he might suffocate to death one day.

He then consulted his teacher, Shangguan Heng.

The respected teacher stared at the prince with a painful face with loving eyes, and said: "Prince, it seems that you are anxious about your future, there are too many external factors and variables, and we can't control them, but as long as the prince can grasp the scale in his heart, there should be no big disaster." ”

"I did, and I don't know what I did."

"Then, the prince should go out for a walk, there is a poem that says, 'It will be the top of the mountain, and you can see the mountains at a glance', when you stand on the top of the high mountain and look at the world, you will feel that these troubles are nothing."

The prince's eyes suddenly lit up, yes, how long has it been since he has been close to the outside world? Since he was born, he has lived a life of hugging and surging, most of the time in the palace, even if he goes out occasionally, he is closely protected by a large group of people, and has never had his own space.

Yes, yes, why not go out for a walk in the form of a private visit? In this way, you can not only distract your mind, but also understand the people's feelings, which is really a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.

The prince's heart immediately came to life.

Then, she has to postpone her marriage with Hua Yue, but since everyone has recognized their relationship, she must not care about waiting a few more months, right?

Thinking of this, the prince secretly rejoiced and felt a little guilty at the same time.

He immediately bid farewell to his teacher and ran to the Zichen Hall to see Emperor Guangzhao.

Hearing that the crown prince wanted to go out for a walk, Emperor Guangzhao looked stunned and asked, "Why did you suddenly think of going out for a walk?" ”

"As the crown prince, Erchen is very grateful to have been well protected by everyone, however, it is difficult to grow into a towering tree without experiencing wind and rain, so Erchen wants to go out for a walk, to see the mountains and rivers of Xi Kingdom, to see the people of Xi Kingdom under the governance of his father, and by the way, to have an in-depth understanding of the customs and customs of various places, Erchen believes that this will be a wealth that will benefit for a lifetime."

Listening to the prince's words, Emperor Guangzhao suddenly felt that the prince had really grown up.

The discovery couldn't help but make his eyes moist.

"Okay, it's very gratifying for you to think so, Can'er, have you planned how you want to see it?"

"Erchen wants to start from the east, go to the south, west and north in turn, and go to the important places in each place, and will have in-depth exchanges with the local residents, of course, Erchen will hide his true identity, so there will be no personal danger."

"Although the Xi Kingdom is not big, if you really want to go through the south, east, west, and northwest, it will take at least four months to complete, and the conditions for food and accommodation are definitely not as good as the palace, you have to be mentally prepared."

"Please rest assured, since the son has the heart to go, he will not be discouraged because of this, not to mention, what the people can eat, why can't the son not eat it?"

Emperor Guangzhao smiled and said, "It's okay, then you go and talk to your queen mother." Also, you have to go to the flower girl's house to talk about it in person, after all, everyone is ready to get married, and you have to wait a few more months, after all, you have to have an explanation. ”

"Okay, thank you, Father! Erchen will do it. The prince saluted him with gratitude on his face.
