Time flies, and two years pass quickly.

Xiao Jing, who was in Puhua Town, sat in front of the window and sighed at the changes in the world.

So much has happened in the past two years, so much that it can be a little overwhelming:

Not long ago, Cher gave birth to his second son; Counting Ziqian's daughter, he not only has both children and daughters, but his family finally has a flourishing appearance.

Because the eldest son inherited the surname Xia, the second son Xiao Yuan returned to the surname Xiao. As an elder brother, Xia Xuyan is very curious about his younger brother and loves him very much - this makes Xiao Jing feel very gratified, and even makes up the picture of brother and brother Gong after a few years or more than ten years.

The heir of the Xia family and the second son of the traverser...... When these two people will join forces and break out of the world in the future, no one in the world will dare to underestimate the Xiao family, right?

On the newspaper's side, everything went very well.

Soon after Shao Ning ascended the throne, he issued a decree to reward and expand the newspaper office. With his support, the Mirror's network across the country was finally fully established; Through the promotion of local newspapers, the reputation and scale of the newspaper have also reached its peak -

It is no exaggeration to say that up to today, Xiao Jing has not seen more than a dozen branch presidents, and these people have not yet had time to report on their work in Beijing because the outlets have just been paved.

Of course, the rapid expansion has also brought many problems, such as the decline in the quality of news reporting, the influx of conservative readers, and the lack of acceptance in the local area.

Fortunately, the monkey guy is quite powerful, and with the efforts of the two of them, although these situations have not been eradicated, they are indeed gradually improving, so Xiao Jing is also happy to be a shopkeeper.

As for the inside of the palace, it is even more lively.

Although Su Yuxian herself has no interest in the throne and is willing to let her out as a concubine in exchange for the stability of her husband's throne and the long-term stay of the two, Shao Ning stubbornly insisted on making her the queen, which caused the dissatisfaction of several major forces.

The momentum of the intermediate newspaper agency played a certain role, but under the constraints of the Xia family, Xiao Jing could not go too far, and in the end Shao Ning and he chose a delaying strategy of not cooperating.

The two sides have been in a stalemate for more than half a year, and Shao Ning is also honored to become the first emperor of Da Rui to ascend the throne but has not even set up a queen.

In the end, the two sides chose to take a step back: Shao Ning accepted several women from the family as concubines, and the major forces no longer continued to force him to elect a queen in the short term, and the two sides reached a temporary compromise.

However, everyone understands that things cannot drag on indefinitely.

Although the matter of the establishment is not as related to the foundation of the country as the establishment of the prince, it is also closely related to the façade and dignity of the dynasty. There is no owner in the harem, and there is not even a woman in the world, not only Shao Ning will be blamed, but there will also be many people who covet power to make a big fuss through this matter.

The family is fighting the idea of successfully ascending to the throne through the harem competition, while Shao Ning is to delay the change and strive to promote the realization of the goal with changes in the social environment.

It is still unknown who killed the deer.

At this moment, Xiao Jing's life can be called very complete.

However, even so, he has two things that he can't reassure about.

"Any news from the north?"

When Xiao Ya, who was in a hurry, passed by, Xiao Jing asked.

"Not yet." Dong Xiaoya shook her head and said: "There have been several snowstorms in the north this year, and many roads have been blocked, and sometimes it may take half a month longer than usual for the news to be sent back." But count the days...... It must have been just these two days, right? ”

Xiao Jing sighed.

He knew about it, but he couldn't help but want to get the news sooner.

After the new emperor ascended the throne, Cao Chi, who had made great achievements and was known as a young hero, naturally became Shao Ning's team. Under his promotion, Cao Chi became a general all the way, and because of the support of the DPRK, he was also able to carry his men and horses in the Beihu territory at will without constraints.

In the past few months, Cao Chi has made the Beihu people cry bitterly with his elusive assault, and the voices of the people comparing him to the champion Hou have become louder and louder.

The last time the news came, Cao Chi said that he wanted to "do a big deal"; Later, the north suffered some of the heaviest snowfalls in recent years, and it is very likely that there was a white plague on the grasslands after that.

At this time, where did Cao Chi lead his troops to?

After the White Plague, there may be a shortage of food on the grasslands, frequent migrations of various tribes, not to mention the ensuing plague.

Once the situation is serious, it cannot be ruled out that Beihu will go south to prey!

It is true that at this time, he stayed on the grassland just to fish in troubled waters, and he could also contain a large number of troops in Beihu, which could greatly relieve the pressure on the border army; However, in such a complicated situation, going deep into the enemy's hinterland, a careless person may be wiped out, and no matter how brave and good his command is, it will not escape the fate of the entire army.

Cao Chi is indeed an unborn general, but he is young and vigorous after all, and Shao Ning and Xiao Jing are afraid that he will do something irreparable under impulse.

In addition to Cao Chi, Lu Shanshan's affairs also worried him.

Last year, there was infighting in the old royal court. As the difficulty and cost of raiding southward increased, many in the ministry became deeply dissatisfied with Chamuzhao's rule.

In the end, with Lu Shanshan's covert encouragement, people who were dissatisfied with the status quo raised troops to drive him away - although he couldn't kill this guy, he only took away some cronies and a few diehards, and the old royal court finally changed back to its original state.

Lu Shanshan spent half a year reorganizing the tribe, and then wrote to say that she wanted to go back to the Central Plains to have a look, but Xiao Jing naturally had nothing to do.

In a sense, this Nizi and Ziqian are the same kind of people - don't look at her skillful and heroic posture when she fought on the grassland, but after taking off her military uniform, she will not express her thoughts in the same hearty way, and even the letters of Hongyan are written in a bit hard.

But it's nothing - you miss me, I miss you too, and that's enough.

The problem is, she came out in July!

Even if Lu Shanshan deliberately said that she wanted to have a fun on the way here, it wouldn't be almost five months before she arrived, right?

At the behest of Shao Ning, the imperial court said that the remnants of the Holy Maiden of the Hundred Immortals Sect had been subdued; He Wan'er, who finally regained her freedom thanks to him, has been running all day long to ask, "When is Sister Shanshan coming", Xiao Jing didn't know how to answer her.

Gone wrong with security? That's impossible, Lu Shanshan brought a lot of guards, each of them is an elite of a hundred battles, no matter what, she is the only one who bullies others. Wherever she went, the local bandit scoundrels could only pray that this aunt would not provoke her, and which one would dare to go to her trouble without opening her eyes?

That's it, what should come will come, just wait patiently.

Xiao Jing, who had nothing to do, was just about to go home when he heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves outside, and his eyes involuntarily drifted to the door.

The long-awaited news or the deceased, which will come first?
