If someone could fly through the clouds and look down on the world above the sky, then he would definitely be surprised by the thunderous situation in the northern land of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It's just a pity that no one else can have such ability. No one can see clearly this magnificent drama that has kicked off.

Perhaps, there is only one exception. He sits in the deep palace, but he has already looked at the whole world. Look south and north, east and west. The clouds and rain are only in the palm of your hand!

When another dawn came, the glow of the sun shone through the clouds, and the glazed tiles on the palace emitted a faint glow. Chu Jiangmian opened his eyes slightly, casually flipped through several urgent messages on the cases in front of him, and thought thoughtfully after reading them.

The spies of the Thousand Machine Pavilion have all been dispatched, and once this net arranged between the various vassal states in the entire world begins to play a role, it will undoubtedly be a huge energy. Although in Chu Jiangmian's eyes, such an intelligence system is still too backward, but in the current situation, there is no other way to replace it for the time being.

For the past few days, he has been sleeping very little. In addition to keeping a vigil in this palace, he will personally handle all the news from all directions to make sure that he knows what to do.

The progress of things is carried out in his expectations. There are never eternal enemies between vassal states, nor are there eternal friends. As long as the interests are achieved, they can turn enemies into friends or turn against each other at any time. When he heard the latest news from Qi Guo, a relieved smile finally appeared on his face.

"Father, the enemy of the East is no longer a problem. If nothing else, within a few years, the East China Sea Qi State will become a major source of wealth for the Zhao State...... As long as the threat behind this one is removed, the other enemies who come in, I will definitely let them all come back this time! ”

After burning a stick of incense with his own hands, Chu Jiangmian lowered his head and muttered to himself. Zheng Liancheng and Gou Wuxian, the two old generals, were old after all, and after accompanying him for two days and two nights, he was afraid that they would not be able to endure their bodies, so he had already ordered someone to forcibly take them to the side hall to rest. Now facing those white flags fluttering in the wind, he suddenly felt the loneliness in his heart.

It turns out that one person is a little overwhelmed to carry the weight of these 8,000 miles of mountains and rivers! Before, he didn't fully understand what that majestic figure was holding onto, but now, he knew.

The palace was a little quiet, and all the attendants didn't dare to come over and disturb casually, so as not to affect His Highness's thoughts. Everyone knows that this is an extraordinary time, and no one is allowed to approach without the orders of His Highness. Of course, there are exceptions.

Jiang Xue'er, who was followed by several maids in the palace, came from the harem. She held a tray in her hand, and when she walked to the gate of the palace, she poked her head into it and looked inside, but she didn't go in, but handed the tray in her hand to the woman next to her, and gently pushed her forward.

"What? Didn't the queen command you to come and bring him food? ”

After not seeing him for a few days, when he saw the man's back again, Murong Qiancheng suddenly felt a little nervous. She only glanced at him, and she noticed that he was emaciated.

"Brother Jiang Mian is so pitiful...... Don't you want to comfort him? ”

Chu Jiangxue took a step back and looked at Murong Qiancheng's eyes. She had already noticed some of the feelings in it, and the girl who had already bloomed cardamom, wouldn't she understand what it was?

"Okay...... Then you

Wait for me here, I'll be out in a moment. ”

Chu Jiangxue nodded. However, after Murong Qiancheng walked into the palace, she did not keep her agreement, but quietly turned around and walked away.

"Finally someone started to like him...... In the future, he will no longer be Brother Jiang Mian who only loves Xue'er alone! ”

The girl with a sour taste in her heart walked lonely on the long road. It's just that no one knows about her careful thoughts.

Murong Qiancheng walked lightly to the front of the case, and when he saw the chaos on it, he couldn't help frowning slightly. Later, she set aside the tray of food and crouched down to clean it up for him.

"It's a little messy. Actually, you don't have to bother ....... ”

Qiancheng raised her head and saw Chu Jiangmian turning around, looking at her with a gentle face, her eyes were bloodshot, which made her feel some inexplicable pain in her heart. deliberately pursed the corners of his mouth and whispered.

"What, are you afraid that I will peep on these important secrets of yours?"

"Not really. It's just that I'm used to putting things I've seen aside, and it's easier to look for them again. ”

"It's such a mess, isn't it very troublesome to find? Why don't you find someone to tidy it up for you? ”

"Everyone is tired, and I can handle this little thing myself. Besides, I haven't gotten used to that kind of attitude of commanding others from above. ”

"Aren't you tired yourself? Those who have achieved great things are not informal, and when you sit on the throne in the future, will you not be on top? ”

"No, it won't. No matter what time it is, no matter what kind of person I am, we are all equal...... At the very least, I don't force people to do things they don't like to do! ”

Murong Qiancheng's hand moved slightly, she glanced at him casually, suppressed the surprise in her heart, and said in a very strange tone.

"I feel...... You're not like all of us. ”

"What's the difference? It's all human. Two hands and two feet ....... ”

"That's it! Don't talk nonsense with me. I say different is different! I can never go wrong with my feelings. ”

"Oh well. Do whatever you say...... Qiancheng, did you cook all these meals? ”

Chu Jiangmian watched her arrange the delicate dishes on the several cases she had sorted out, and the faint aroma of the meal made him feel a little hungry.

"The people in the palace are so sad these days...... I can't just sit idle. In the queen's kitchen, I studied carefully with a few masters, and finally made a lot of progress. The queen and Cher complimented me on the deliciousness of my cooking! I know you're picky, but let's say it first, if you don't have anything to say, you can't say it in front of me! ”

"Why is that? If it's delicious, it's delicious, and if it's not delicious, I'll try it first. ”

"Not for why. Anyway...... It's just not allowed to say it's not delicious! ”

Murong Qiancheng pursed his mouth, but his eyes were a little nervous as he watched Chu Jiangmian eat a few bites of food, afraid that he would look disgusted like he did when he was in Zhongyue Mountain. Unexpectedly, Chu Jiangmian ate all the meals she sent in one go, and then drank all the porridge that had been boiling for a long time.

"It's really progressing, it's true

Not bad! Qiancheng, thank you. ”

Feeling the sincerity in that tone, Murong Qiancheng's face gradually blushed. The reason why she tried her best to talk to him was just to get him to eat as much as possible. And he, obviously, understands her mind. What a heart, and how comforting it was for her!

"Then you don't have to force yourself to eat it all...... Is it really delicious? ”

"If I could, I would like to eat your cooking every day from now on."

When these words blurted out unintentionally, Chu Jiangmian suddenly felt the pain in his chest as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer. Because he remembered that in that distant memory, he had said the same thing to another woman. And she finally failed him. Now hundreds of millions of light years, heaven and man are forever separated. Looking at the rare and somewhat similar face, his expression froze for a moment.

Murong Qiancheng obviously didn't understand the meaning of this sentence for a while, and she said with a playful expression on her face while lowering her head and putting away the dishes.

"You're wondering! If it weren't for Xue'er secretly feeling sorry for you, I wouldn't have suffered for myself. I want to eat my cooking every day...... ”

As soon as she was halfway through her words, she suddenly seemed to realize something, and immediately covered her mouth with her hand, lowered her head tightly, and didn't dare to meet Chu Jiangmian's gaze at all.

After a moment of silence, Chu Jiangmian sighed slightly and withdrew those inexplicable thoughts. Now is not the time for children to grow up, and he has more important things to do.

"Alright! Whatever the reason, I want to thank you for making these delicious meals with your own hands...... Now that I'm full, I'm full of strength and ready to work! ”

Hearing him change the subject, he didn't continue with what he had just said. Murong Qiancheng felt an inexplicable sense of loss in his heart. However, she looked at the man who had stretched his waist and walked to the side of the huge sand table in contemplation, and her eyes followed him, and she did not want to leave at all.

"What do you mean...... What does that mean? ”

Murong Qiancheng followed, tilted his head and asked him. She couldn't understand what the models were made of sand and rocks for. Chu Jiangmian used the sword in his hand to gently dig two small sand pits in the place representing the region of the Nine Elements Mountain, and answered her with a playful tone in his mouth.

"Prepare for the battlefield and wait for those pesky cockroaches...... And then bury them completely! ”

These "black words" that he had never heard of made Murong Qiancheng's eyes widen in shock. Although she already had a guess in her heart, she was not sure. She saw the man in front of her take the few pieces of military information she had compiled and check the terrain above for the last time. Then, he clapped his hands easily, looking like he was winning.

"What the hell do you mean?"

"War is coming! The army of Qin Wei and the Southern Han Dynasty divided into two routes, approaching Longcheng from the direction of the west and south, and there were still two days at most, and the troops would come to the city! ”

"Oh my God...... Then you're so easy! ”

Murong Qiancheng couldn't help but grab his arm and was shocked. Then, the man's hand gently covered her palm, and only a soft word was heard in her ear.

"Don't be afraid, Zhao Guo will win! I've been preparing for this day for a long time. ”
