This time, Zhu Xiaobao has a good reason to live in Chibei County, of course, now his palace has become very comfortable, and he has everything he should have, the key is that there are four beauties by his side! Well, of course, Jumei's size is a little bigger, but her appearance is getting more and more handsome!

However, the current inner garden of the British King's Mansion is not allowed to enter casually, and those who can enter here are the personal guards of Zhu Xiaobao. Ordinary subordinates are not allowed to enter. Because there are often Dharma appearances in it, it still can't be seen by too many people.

Now the nineteenth princess is condensing the green dragon law phase and is fighting with a Vermilion Bird Method, this Vermilion Bird Law is of course Zhu Rong's performance. Now the Nineteen Princesses' martial arts cultivation and mental cultivation are both a big realm worse than Zhu Rong's, and Zhu Rong's fire attribute just restrains the Nineteen Princess's wood attributes. So the Nineteenth Princess is not Zhu Rong's opponent, she is just trying to improve her combat power.

Every time she was defeated, the nineteenth princess was embarrassed, because the clothes on her body were burned beyond recognition, and spring was leaked in many places! Zhu Xiaobao watched the battle from the sidelines, always watching excitedly, and would have a very strong desire!

In fact, Zhu Xiaobao enjoys this kind of life, living with all the women, and enjoying it, but he also knows that these are temporary, and there are still a lot of things to do next. So they all cherish this kind of time very much. And Zhu Xiaobao also whimsically practiced the footwork of the mandarin duck knife with two or three women at the same time, but he didn't expect it to have a very good effect, as long as the people in the outer circle kept a certain distance. But if you perform this kind of footwork with three women at the same time, it will be a bit chaotic, and the effect is not very good.

During this period, Zhu Xiaobao's mental cultivation was also making rapid progress, because the consummation of the five elements actually had a strong auxiliary effect on the cultivation of the mental method, but it was a pity that the mental cultivation of the nineteenth princess was still too weak, and she had not been able to break through to the fifth layer. What makes Zhu Xiaobao depressed is that the water attribute of the body has not been particularly expressive, but it is like a wild one, neither strong nor weak. Could it be that Lao Tzu's natural proficiency in water is the characteristic of this attribute, that is too bad!

Although he is a little unwilling, Zhu Xiaobao will not be obsessed with this matter, he likes to be relaxed and happy. This is not in his spare time, and he is still playing a few games with Duanmu Qi.

To say that Duanmu Qi's chess strength is growing quite fast, now the old apprentice and others can't beat him, and even the Great Venerable Wuwei is watching the battle with great interest. The pavilion is not only placed with all kinds of pastries and fruits, but also smoky, it turns out that Duanmu Qi is smoking his cigar, and the Great Venerable Wuwei and the old apprentice are one person and one cigarette stick, are swallowing clouds and spitting fog, now these two Great Venerables are in love with this thing, and they have nothing to do to smoke a bag of cigarettes, which is really a fairy-like enjoyment.

"Alas! Lost again! Duanmuqi sighed, and finally conceded defeat, and he had lost three games in a row. Then he remembered that Zhu Xiaobao seemed to be asking himself something just now, and hurriedly asked, "What did you ask me just now?" ”

"Hmmm! I'm asking now that we should turn our attention to the Great Xia Kingdom, where do you think the best place to start? Zhu Xiaobao also breathed a sigh of relief, now it is a little difficult to win Duanmu Qi, this old man's chess strength has grown very fast.

"Hmmm! Now it seems that it can only be King Ming! Duanmu Qi pondered slightly, looked at the two Great Venerables, and then said in a low voice.

"Huh! You talk, we are not interested in these worldly things! Come on, Lao Jiu, let's kill the two of us too! The Great Venerable Wuwei said with a smile, and beckoned the old apprentice to kill the game.

"Yes, yes, yes! I hate this kind of back-and-forth the most, and I don't know what to do! "The old apprentice is not polite, he still has some confidence against the Great Venerable Wuwei!

"I thought it was Southeastern County? Why King Ming? "Zhu Xiaobao has a general understanding of the development of the situation, and he can't talk about it in detail at all. He thought that these should be Duanmu Qi and Murong Feng's affairs.

"The other people of 'Duanmu Eleven Lang' I sent out have returned, and they have gone to the southeast thirty-six islands to inquire about the news. Unexpectedly, the thirty-six islands in the southeast are now heavily guarded and full of masters, and they have not been able to find out any valuable information. Moreover, the sixteen islands in the southeast mountains are now all under Ji Zhichen's forces, with a total strength of no less than 1.2 million. There are thousands of warships, and there are dozens of generals and guards at the level of great martial artists, I really can't imagine how Ji Zhihui has developed in recent years. My biggest mistake was underestimating this person! Duanmuqi said with a frown.

"Why don't I go to Ji Zhihan to see it myself?" Zhu Xiaobao was also a little depressed, he didn't expect Ji Zhihui to have such a development, according to this, his achievements are not low, if you count the strong strength of the Seventh Princess in Southeast County, Ji Zhihui is a giant!

"No! There are now two Great Venerables in the southeast thirty-six islands, and the Nine Yin Venerables are not easy to deal with, even I can't take him! After hearing this, the Great Venerable Wuwei next to him quickly interjected, it turned out that although they were playing chess, their ears were still listening!

"So! I'm now targeting King Ming, don't look at him now, he's still teaming up with Jialanga, but he's already in tune. What's more, with Ye Qinghong there, Lingyue Mountain as support, it is effortless to take Xiyuan City. We have to watch out for a few other companies taking advantage of the fire! So you still have to wait for the best time! Duanmu Qi twisted his beard and said.

"Oh! When do you think the opportunity will arise? "Zhu Xiaobao is a little relaxed, he doesn't want the Nineteenth Princess to attack Xiyuan City so soon, he still wants to enjoy the good life now!

"The opportunity has arisen! Today, there is a big drought in King Ming's fiefdom, the harvest has decreased sharply, and he is already short of food, so he is now a little unable to hold on! It depends on who makes the first move between the eldest prince and the sixth highness! Duanmuqi poured a basin of cold water on Zhu Xiaobao, and looked at Zhu Xiaobao with a smile, quite a little gloating......

……

In the palace of King Ming, King Ming and Princess Ming were sitting opposite each other, their faces were gloomy, they had just received a reply from Jialanga, and they could not meet their request for help for the time being, but symbolically sent two hundred cows and three hundred sheep. This is a drop in the bucket for the millions of people in King Ming's fiefdom, and now even people who spend money are reluctant to sell, because everyone has suffered from the drought, but King Ming is more serious here.

"Madame! You should quickly think of a way, if we continue like this, we will really run out of food! King Ming looked at Princess Ming, who had always been resourceful, and said anxiously.

"What can I do, natural and man-made disasters, I can prevent man-made disasters, but I can't help such a serious drought! Now those fishermen have been allowed to come out to fish, but there are too few people left in Xiyuan City......" Princess Ming also said helplessly.

"The sixth brother, this bastard, obviously didn't suffer any drought. But he refused to buy us food, and Jialanga, a cheap bastard, began to alienate us! In a hurry, Lao Tzu sent troops to grab food! King Ming suddenly shouted angrily.

"Don't you understand? Now everyone is watching us, and we have become the weakest party! They just don't want to do it first! Princess Ming said a little sadly, as if she had seen the original scene of King Wen again. Originally, I was ambitious to compete for the throne, but I didn't expect to worry about my future survival now!

"Or, let's return Xiyuan City to the Nineteenth Princess?" King Ming himself didn't believe that he would say such a thing, but he still looked at Princess Ming expectantly. All the major events in his life were decided by Princess Ming.

"Whew! You're sick in the head, right? At the beginning, we adopted Xia Zixiu and drove her out of Xiyuan City, although she was the seventh sister, but we also played a role in fueling the trouble! Princess Ming immediately smiled disdainfully, then suddenly flashed a spiritual light, raised her hand, thought about it carefully and said, "Wait...... Wait a minute...... That's a good idea! After all, now that Xia Zixiu and Ma Songju are dead, besides, in front of interests, everything is easy to talk about......"

Although Princess Ming didn't believe in this method very much, she still analyzed it very calmly, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that this method was still very possible! Although the strength of the nineteenth princess is weak, she is now actually attached to the power of Zhu Xiaobao, and now Zhu Xiaobao's reputation can be said to be in full swing, not only the bloodline of the divine beast, but also the recovery of the Southern Zirui Kingdom. Now it has become the Great Zirui Kingdom, although the land area and population are not as good as the Great Xia Kingdom, but they are not far behind!

The key is that there is no war in the country now, and it is in the stage of rapid development of all industries. This pair of nineteen princesses is undoubtedly a big backer, they can attack and retreat, they can defend, but they don't know what kind of conditions the other party will propose.

"Come on, pen and ink are waiting!" Princess Ming stood up and instructed that she should personally write a letter to the Nineteenth Princess......

Within a few days, the letter was in Duanmuqi's hands, and the nineteenth princess specially showed it to Duanmuqi, and she didn't know the intentions of Princess Ming, Princess Ming, a woman who was quite scheming, and was the best at taking advantage of others. When King Wen was destroyed, it was King Ming who adopted her advice.

But Princess Ming was still boasting in the letter that she had let King Wen and Princess Wen and others live.

"Huh! Princess Ming is very knowledgeable about current affairs! Duanmuqi immediately looked very happy when he read the letter, and then turned his head and asked Zhu Rong: "Eh!" Brother and sister, was she the one who let you go? ”

“…… Be! I thought that I would be captured and humiliated by King Ming, but I didn't expect Princess Ming to arrive in time to deter those troops, let us calmly escape to Xiyuan City, and then board the ship to escape! Zhu Rong said a little embarrassed, she was very reluctant to mention these things, she was now the princess of England, so if it weren't for Duanmuqi, she would be very reluctant to mention this problem.

"Hey, hey, hey! Old man Duanmu, aren't you wasting your time? What to talk to them about! Zhu Xiaobao saw that Zhu Rong's face was a little pale, and he immediately shouted very dissatisfied, this time he didn't call 'brother-in-law', which showed that Zhu Xiaobao was already very dissatisfied.

"Definitely! Definitely! There's something to talk about, it's a lot to talk about! Duanmuqi didn't care, but shook his head and said, with a very joyful meaning in his words.

"You mean we're going back to Xiyuan City?" The nineteenth princess was also a little embarrassed and asked, now that she has just settled here, is she going to open again? What's more, she still has a place in her heart now, and she is unwilling to leave Zhu Xiaobao too far.

"Taking back Xiyuan City is just one of the most basic conditions! We also want to let King Ming's men and horses be used by us, not only for us! Oh, even submit to us! Duanmuqi said excitedly, but the more everyone listened, the more incredible they felt.

"Brother-in-law, you didn't drink in the morning? Didn't take any medicine, did you? Zhu Xiaobao also asked with doubts.

"yes, how is that possible? I am already surprised that Princess Ming can come to this letter! The nineteenth princess also said in disbelief.

"That's right! You didn't think that Princess Ming would come to this handwritten letter, right? So the unthinkable doesn't necessarily mean it won't happen! You think, among all the forces, the nineteenth princess is the weakest, let her settle in Xiyuan City, King Ming will not be so worried! And that's exactly what we need! Duanmu Qi looked at Zhu Xiaobao and then continued: "The sum of the nineteen princesses' men and horses is less than one million. Although there is Xiaobao's support, you must know that if Xiaobao sends troops to help the nineteenth princess, it will be equivalent to the Great Zirui Kingdom declaring war on the Great Xia Kingdom! Certainly not a wise move! So King Ming needs our help, and we also need King Ming's army! ”

At this time, everyone suddenly realized that Duanmu Qi was very thoughtful and bold. After he said this, everyone felt that this was indeed a good opportunity. Letting the nineteenth princess settle in Xiyuan City seems to be very dangerous. But it occupies the absolute initiative. First of all, King Ming did not have a naval army, and secondly, Xiyuan City had already built a city wall, and it was still possible to defend it, and there were red-clothed cannons in the town, and King Ming would never dare to act rashly.

What's more critical is that Lingyue Mountain is very close to Xiyuan City, and once it is needed, it can be supported immediately, and tens of thousands of female warriors are equivalent to hundreds of thousands of men and horses. What's more, Zhu Xiaobao still has a lot of friendship with the Western Turkic royal court, and at that time, Jialanga will not dare to interfere in the affairs of King Ming's fiefdom, and may even be ordered by the royal court to start a war against King Ming.

"Oh! Mr. Duanmu is really smart! So what do we do next? Ready to move into Xiyuan City? The nineteenth princess suddenly became excited, Xiyuan City is the place where she started, and once she stays in Xiyuan City, it is equivalent to announcing that she has joined the battle for succession.

"Huh! Don't worry, it's King Ming and Princess Ming who are in a hurry now. What we have to do is sit down with them and have a good talk, and we must get enough benefits to settle in! But this time to negotiate with Princess Ming, I want to go in person, this woman is not simple, I'm afraid you won't get any cheap! Duanmu Qi twisted his beard and said with a smile, which also means that he is also involved in the disputes of the Great Xia Kingdom, and he will inevitably have a battle with the Seventh Princess in the future, Duanmu Qi is also very excited.

Soon the two sides agreed to negotiate on Luofeng Island, from the fief of King Ming to Luofeng Island, there is no need to go through Southeast County, so even if King Ming does not have any decent naval army, there are still dozens of warships, and there should be no problem.

And the nineteenth princess is more convenient, after passing through Princess Island, you can reach Luofeng Island, and there is no risk. However, this time, Zhu Xiaobao purely accompanied the Nineteen Princesses to Luofeng Island as bystanders, and the protagonists of the real negotiations were the Nineteen Princesses and Duanmuqi.

"Madam, just a dozen warships, I'm afraid you'll be in danger! Why don't I come with you? King Ming looked at the seventeen warships that had been carefully selected, and he really didn't feel good in his heart. Now he is still asking people to return to Xiyuan City, and almost all of his warships were blown up by the 'Auspicious Three Treasures' in the last war with Lingyue Mountain. There is no time or energy to repair it, and now it is only possible to single out these seventeen warships.

"No! The fiefdom is inseparable from you, and if there is any emergency, you still need to call the shots! Killing me as a female streamer wouldn't do them any good! Princess Ming is very calm, she also takes into account the stakes, and she is full of confidence in this negotiation. It's probably the finishing touch to turn things around!

The soldiers and generals with naval combat experience under the Ming King can still be singled out, and this time the guards around Princess Ming are also the most capable and powerful twelve black-armored guards, most of whom are the peak cultivation of the great martial artists. Moreover, Princess Ming's own cultivation is also a great martial artist. The uniforms were even more imposing than the twelve black-clothed guards!

The journey was really calm and there was no danger. Ordinary pirates don't dare to rob such a fleet, and the ships of the Seven Princesses don't dare to attack easily, you must know that the warships of Lingyue Mountain and Lingyue Island are all controlled by female warriors, and their combat effectiveness is extraordinary, and there is such a terrifying existence as the 'Auspicious Three Treasures'. So the seventh princess didn't want to cause trouble after suffering a few losses!

When they arrived at Luofeng Island, the nineteen princesses had not yet arrived, and Princess Ming was a little unhappy, but she had to wait patiently. Obviously, Luofeng Island got the news, and sent a boat to bring them food and drink, as well as fresh water for life.

What I didn't expect was that the food sent by Luofeng Island was quite exquisite, and even the cooks came with the boat to make a special trip to Princess Ming to cook and deliver it. Princess Ming sighed a little, the food here is even better than in the Ming Palace! Although she and King Ming don't have to worry about eating and drinking, they have also been streamlined a lot, and they are not as luxurious as they used to be! And she hasn't eaten this pickled pepper chicken feet, sauced beef, and Dongpo elbow for a long time!

After eating and drinking, and taking a bath with the best milk silky soap, Princess Ming changed into casual clothes refreshed, walked out of the cabin, and saw six medium-sized warships coming from the east from a distance, in front of which was a fast boat, but at a glance, Princess Ming changed with her face, this clipper boat is the 'colorful boat' that makes people smell the wind and change color, and the figure on the bow can also be seen clearly, it is Wu Yue!

"Hehehehehe! Mrs. Mingwang, long time no see! Duanmuqi is polite! As the six warships approached, Duanmu Qi also stood on the bow of the ship with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Duanmu! You're really back out of the mountain! What a gratifying congratulations! Princess Ming said a little insincerely, but the congratulations must not be talked about, when Duanmuqi was in trouble, all the major forces wanted to fight for him, but he didn't expect him to choose Lingyue Mountain. Now he is assisting the nineteenth princess.

"Hehehehehe! Mrs. Mingwang, do you see it on my ship, or on yours? Duanmuqi still asked with a smile, and then it was time to get to the point.

"Let's get to your ship!" Princess Ming said a little embarrassed, she really couldn't take out anything decent on her boat to entertain Duanmuqi, not to mention that she had already received food and drink supplies from the other party.

"Good! Please move Princess Ming to board the ship! ”

"Please!"
