……

“……”

Jiang Ruoyan's alluring tone made a trace of sweat appear on Liu Ce's forehead, and Mu Ne couldn't say half a sentence.

He stared down at the silver ticket in the wooden box, as if studying the handwriting on the paper, and there was a faint fragrance from his side, which stimulated his nerves and lust all the time.

He picked up the teapot and poured water into the cup to show his composure, but the tea poured into the cup kept splashing on the table......

Saiwai and his party, he was able to resist the temptation of all kinds of women in dozens of tribes, and he thought that he had already stopped his heart.

However, at this time, I realized that only the fairy-like beauty in front of me seemed to have lost due concentration, and I wanted to refuse but couldn't bear it, and I wanted to agree but had concerns, which can be described as extremely tormenting.

Jiang Ruoyan saw that Liu Ce didn't react for a long time, and she was also a little anxious, and said firmly and shyly: "Liu Ce, Ruoyan won't regret his decision tonight, he is willing, you, don't have a burden......"

Speaking of this, Jiang Ruoyan only felt that her cheeks were red, her whole body was hot, and her heart was beating wildly, and she was waiting for Liu Ce's reaction at this point, and she didn't know what to do next, isn't this what a man should do?

Liu Ce took a deep breath and raised the teacup slightly trembling and sent it to his mouth. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Jiang Ruoyan's jade skin that was looming in his cicada-wing light shirt, and felt that the blood began to flow rapidly.

Since they have all said this, and besides, in this atmosphere, who can withstand it?

Liu Ce's breathing was a little short, and he wanted to say, "Miss Jiang, that ......"

"Ahem......"

Just when Liu Ce was extremely embarrassed and didn't know how to choose, Jiang Xun's calm cough sounded outside the door.

Jiang Ruoyan suddenly looked out of the door, and tightly wrapped the cloak on her shoulders around her delicate body. Liu Ce's heart was relieved as if he had been amnestied, and his face quickly changed to a calm expression.

"Your Excellency the Governor is so late, does he have something to come to his subordinates?"

"Ben Du is a little bored, I wonder if you can come out and walk with Ben Du now?"

"Since the Governor needs someone to accompany him, his subordinates are naturally honored."

"Ben Governor is waiting for you by the lake......"

After making sure that Jiang Xun was far away, Liu Ce got up and took a few steps back, and said to Jiang Ruoyan: "Miss Jiang, it's not early, please go back to the room early to rest, thank you for your help, keep it in mind." ”

After finishing speaking, Jiang Ruoyan, who was shy and a little resentful, opened the door to find Jiang Xun.

"Daddy, alas......"

Jiang Ruoyan sighed resentfully, but the courage she had finally mustered up was destroyed by Jiang Xun, and she couldn't help but feel a little lost.

However, when she thought of Liu Ce's demeanor just now, she definitely had affection for herself, but she couldn't help but chuckle softly, and then quietly walked out of the door and walked towards Mrs. Shi's room......

On the shore of the rockery lake, Jiang Xun looked at the calm lake and stood with his hands in his hands, and when he noticed that Liu Ce was approaching behind him, he immediately said, "Yan'er, she is back in the room?" ”

Liu Ce nodded and said calmly: "Miss Jiang has returned to the lady's room safely, adults can rest assured......"

"You're thoughtful." Jiang Xun chuckled, "I don't want to secretly watch Yan'er go back to the room." ”

Liu Ce said lightly: "After all, there is a person who is not good for Miss Jiang living in the mansion, and before he leaves the mansion, he is obliged to consider the safety of his friends." ”

Jiang Xun said with some annoyance: "You mean, my daughter will also have accidents in her own family?" ”

Liu Ce replied: "Yesterday's situation, presumably adults will not know ......."

"It was an accident," Jiang Xun suddenly felt a little embarrassed, "It was just a temporary negligence on the part of the government, and this kind ......of thing will never happen again in the future." ”

"But it still happened......," Liu Ce said, "I could have killed Li Suwen with one sword yesterday, but considering that this is an adult's mansion, I don't want to cause trouble and cause trouble to my lord." ”

Jiang Xun turned around violently and stared at Liu Ce: "You are getting bolder and bolder, do you know what identity Li Suwen is?" And what does it represent? Your words in the banquet hall today have disgraced the royal family, and I will see how you will deal with their retaliation in the future. ”

"Isn't this what the adults want?" Liu Ce said unhurriedly, "Haven't you always been worried that my alliance with the royal family will pose a threat to your Jiang family, and your subordinates should also make you feel relieved by doing this, right?" ”

Jiang Xun was slightly stunned: "It turns out that you already knew?" ”

Liu Ce said: "Your Excellency's subordinates can still figure out a thing or two, and today's subordinates scolded the princess of the current saint in front of everyone, presumably the possibility of cooperating with the royal family will be cut off in the future, and it can also make your lord relax.

But in return, I also ask my lord to help me seize the post of former military governor, so that I can start a decisive battle with the Monro barbarians as soon as possible. ”

Jiang Xun shook his head: "It's impossible, Liu Ce, this governor has to admit that your ability is too strong, and the strong one has made me feel jealous, if the post of military governor is in your hands, this governor can't imagine how much your strength will swell." ”

"Lord Jiang......" Liu Ce didn't care about Jiang Xun's refusal, "This subordinate of the military governor is bound to win, but if you have your help, you can save a lot of trouble, otherwise your subordinates may have to make a lot of trouble, and you also know that your subordinates are not peaceful people." ”

Jiang Xun said: "It's useless, no matter what you make this time, the governor will not do what you want, and Li Suwen has promised the governor that the candidate for the post of military governor will be selected by the governor, and no matter how you make trouble, you will not get this position." ”

The corners of Liu Ce's mouth lifted lightly: "I'm afraid that the adults will be disappointed again, if you can't get your wish this time, this movement may be much bigger than ever, you better think about it carefully......"

"Do you want to rebel?" Jiang Xun was shocked, and secretly said How could this Liu Ce be so aggressive? Although the tone is calm, it reveals boundless confidence.

"Rebellion?" Liu Ce sneered, "This is not a bad idea, but my subordinates don't want to see the scene of the Far East being ruined, but if they are really forced to do so, they have to make this decision......"

"Liu Ce!" Jiang Xun said angrily, "If you really dare to do this, that is, when you are defeated, do you really think that my Da Zhou is a persimmon that is arbitrary?" ”

Liu Ce closed his eyes and said: "Dare to ask my lord, since the 340th year of the Great Zhou calendar, before the appearance of my Jingwei battalion, what is the victory rate of the Great Zhou army against the Hu Nu barbarians?"

In the annals of history, the Great Zhou fought with the Xia Qiang Nu fourteen times, and was defeated thirteen times, the worst one in addition to the annihilation of the whole army of the Yan Army, which was called the battle of the Yongjun Harvest Cool twelve years ago,

In that war, the elite of the former division of the royal palace was exhausted, and a total of 470,000 people set off from Yongzhou with the local border army, vowing to take back Liangzhou and return to the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the first war, what was the result?

At that time, the Western Xia lord Yuan Tianmang led 50,000 Qiang slaves to kill only 7,000 people to return to the court, which can be described as an unprecedented fiasco, and the only time that won was to behead only 1,000 Qiang slaves to take advantage of the victory to sue for peace, and gave 40 million taels of silver to the Qiang slaves a year in exchange for the so-called peace.

You must know that the Great Zhou Finance is only 800 million taels a year! ”

Jiang Xun was silent, that battle was simply a shame for the royal family, and the elite of the front division of the palace was lost, which also frightened Wei Zhi and dispelled the idea of recovering Xiliang.

Liu Ce continued: "And the battle against Mengluo is even more miserable, I really don't know what the group of wastes in the court think, knowing that the Mengluo Empire's iron cavalry is famous for its fierceness, and when he lacks weapons, he will actually take the initiative to let the elites of the four sides abandon the city and fight them in the field?"

This kind of mistake was actually made three times in a row, and the blood of 600,000 troops was spilled on the border, which directly led to the loss of the elite of the border army, and even reached the strange news that only 43 people patrolled the Baili City Pass.

If it weren't for Monroe's current concentration on attacking the Western Regions, I'm afraid that the gods would have been taken down by them a long time ago, and I really wonder if someone did it on purpose.

As for the Hulan people, my lord, you have lived here for a long time, so I don't think you need to be reminded below, but it is just a branch of the Mengluo chieftain that has caused the Far East to be defeated again and again. ”

Jiang Xun's heart tightened when he heard this, this Liu Ce saw the situation too thoroughly, which really surprised him, he really only had to be twenty years old?

"So, my lord......" Liu Cedun felt a little soreness in his left shoulder, and couldn't help shaking a little and continued, "Today's Great Zhou, especially the royal family, seems to have millions of troops available, but most of these troops are forcibly requisitioned.

These soldiers lack armor, lack morale to fight against the enemy, and lack salary to make ends meet.

Moreover, due to the uncontrolled increase of the scholars, the financial expenses of the court are also increasing, which directly leads to the fact that some of these careerists have become dissent, waiting for someone to take the lead in profiting from it.

This seemingly powerful empire has long been vulnerable to internal and external troubles, my lord, do you think that if your subordinates rebel at this time, how long can this empire last? I'm afraid that it will be a rapid outbreak of flames in various states and counties, and finally it will collapse if it can't bear the pressure!

At that time, the foreign races will also take advantage of the situation to enter the Central Plains, how can there be eggs under the nest at that time, how can the Jiang family be alone? ”

After Jiang Xun listened to Liu Ce's analysis, a cold sweat hit his back, which made him shudder, what Liu Ce said was completely right, if there was really that day, where should the Jiang family go?

Liu Ce's face showed a hint of pain, just because his left shoulder is now extremely uncomfortable, and his shoulder blade injury has not been completely healed since last year.

"Liu Ce ......" Jiang Xun's tone softened slightly, "I still hope that you can do your part for the people of the Far East and the people of the Great Zhou, and don't do that evil act that has been infamous for thousands of years......"

Liu Ce said: "So I need to get the position of former military governor, only by obtaining this position of military power, can I have the ability to turn the tide and save the people from fire and water, and avoid all this from happening, not to mention, adults should know that the Far East is not peaceful now, right?" ”

Jiang Xun nodded: "Indeed, the intentions of the nearly 500,000 troops in Youzhou and Dingzhou are now unclear, and the governor is also very troubled by this, since you said it, the governor wants to hear your opinion." ”

"I, hiss......" Liu Ce felt that his left shoulder seemed to be getting more and more painful, and couldn't help but say to Jiang Xun halfway through, "I'm sorry, my lord, the pain in my lower shoulder has not healed, please allow me to put ......medicine on my clothes for the time being."

Jiang Xun saw Liu Ce holding his left shoulder just now, and although the expression on his face was still the same, he could still see that he was enduring the pain, and nodded: "Do you need this governor to prepare medicine for you?" ”

"Thank you, my lord, I have prepared my own ointment on my lower body, just change a dose, it's rude."

After speaking, Liu Ce turned around and sat down behind the rockery, took off his cloak, loosened his nightgown, took out his left sleeve, took out the ointment, and prepared to put it on.

Jiang Xun shook his head and said: "I don't want you Liu Ce Xingwu to be so shy when he was born, this governor is not as good as Longyang, you don't need to be like this, hehe......"

Saying that, Jiang Xun took out the fire folds and approached him to provide light, after all, he didn't want Liu Ce to have anything to do now.

Liu Ce took off the ointment on his left shoulder, and was about to apply the medicine when Jiang Xun suddenly exclaimed from behind him: "Liu Ce! Where did the birthmark on your shoulder come from? ”

Liu Ce said casually when he heard this: "Since it is a birthmark, it is naturally brought out of the mother's womb, why should adults be so surprised?" ”

After speaking, Liu Ce put a dose of ointment on his shoulder, only to feel a warm current smooth, relieving the soreness on his shoulder, and then quickly put on his robe and tied his cloak before slowly getting up.

When he turned around, he saw Jiang Xun staring at him in shock, which made him feel surprised, what was wrong?
