The wind blew through the frozen bay of jewels, and the bells on the sails jingled, and pieces of broken ice fell from above, and fell into the strait sealed with a thin layer of ice.

However, in the next moment, with the strong wind blowing from the Arctic Circle, the battleship also rose and fell violently, and the main fleet made of hundred-year-old giant trees in the mountains of Liaodong swayed its heavy body with the wind, and under the loud creaking sound, one after another cracks and cracks pierced across the ice, and finally burst with a bang!

In the crystal ice crystals, the long-dormant sea water seemed to be boiling, and the ice surged up, slapping on the shore, bursting out with countless fragrances.

On the beach, dozens of ice sculptures hanging high on the shelves rattled, and pieces of ice skates that flowed down were blown off by Qi Gen with the wind and smashed to the ground, and the frost and snow blew away, finally revealing the painful and distorted faces below.

But unlike those women who struggled with their hands and feet on the rope and were finally frozen to death, Wufeng, who fell on the pole, actually showed a peaceful form, and the countless wrinkles on his face were relaxed, and the corners of his mouth were flattened, but it seemed that there was always a smile like nothing, but even if it was a smile, with his already frozen face, it still looked so terrifying and weird.

Jewel Sea Town, Barracks, Expeditionary Force Headquarters.

Bang dang~

A dagger pierced through the cowhide map and slammed into the table, the two words being sliced apart.

Cheyenne!

There have been six such daggers, this is the seventh, these days from the mouth of the refugees to find out these bits and pieces, basically, the situation in the Snake River Plain, Adriana has a rough idea, but this is to make her good-looking brows even more frowned.

At the same time, Liu Ming, the captain of the Sniper Brigade of the Ninth Corps of the Northern Group Army of the Ming Dynasty, was a little depressed and drooped his head that day.

Among the 500,000 Ming army, he and his subordinates are considered to be the best, but the task given to him by Adriana is still not completed, in the ice and snow, in five days, they chased and killed the Columbia River in the later generations, leaving one hundred and ninety-three bodies of black-footed hunters in the ice and snow, but there are still about thirty black-footed hunters who escaped from life, even if it is calculated according to nine deaths and one life, after all, someone will still bring the information back here.

And what made him even more ashamed was that they, the hunters, were actually killed by those poorly equipped primitives!

The three of them exchanged for one hundred and ninety-three black-footed hunters, which seemed to have a brilliant record, but they were the best elite in the Ming army, and among the more than 50,000 expeditionary forces, there were only three such squads, and all the training they received was to kill people, but the other party was just ordinary hunters of some blackfoot tribes, ordinary tribal warriors, and there were at least five to eighty thousand such people on the Snake River Plain.

The squad leader is still thinking about the failure of his mission, but as the boss, Adriana is no longer concerned about the team, the gains and losses of an encounter, looking at the tribes under these daggers and the towering mountains behind them with a solemn expression, the shadow who is most valued by the emperor's side and is also the first time standing in the foreground, tapping the map one after another.

At this time, an orderly walked in quickly, bent down, and reported in a low voice.

"Your Excellency, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is visiting ......"

"Ben Shuai doesn't have time and that waste waste, let him wait!"

Before the words of the report could be finished, he was interrupted impatiently by Adriana, choking with the orderly and Mao Xingjian outside the door, under the dim pupils, the muscles on his face twitched uncontrollably, and even for a moment, his fists were twisted and creaked, but when the orderly came out helplessly, he was already with his head down, sitting quietly in the cold wind, and waiting on the cold bench in the corridor.

In the conference room, after Mao Jue established the new army's unique staff discussion session, a number of high-achieving students of the military academy were fearless to speak their minds, arguing with red faces, in their arguments, the time also passed extraordinarily long, I don't know how many hours passed, a large group of generals came out of the war room on the top floor.

"Prince?"

Listening to the herald's strange questioning, Mao Xingjian nodded silently, got up from the bench, didn't beat the snowflakes that fell on his body, and walked straight to the house.

Adriana seems to be a little tired, they all say that people will become very similar after being together for a long time, she is also indecently wide open arms and legs, and Mao Jue is lying on the rickety armchair, on the table, those daggers are still inserted on the map, but a huge fork is shockingly hit on the Snake River Plain, hitting the paradise created by Mao Xingjian, looking at this, Mao Xingjian's brows unconsciously beat violently a few times.

"What are you going to do?"

Still familiar with Mao Xingjian, and with his usual annoying tone, he didn't seem to be about to stand up, Adriana asked lazily, but one sentence made the prince tremble violently, and for a few seconds, he was extremely difficult, and his voice was so low that he could barely hear it.

"My ....., what are you going to do with me?"

"Disposition?"

With a snort, Adriana tilted her head to the side coldly.

"I don't have any authority to dispose of you."

"But I'm so glad to see you so embarrassed!"

At the mention of this, it seemed that he finally got a little interested, leaned back and lay on the table, one hand supported his slender chin, and his face still appeared with the kind of look that Mao Xingjian hated the most, like watching cockfighting, racing, anyway, it was some pastime, looking at him full of rough and frostbitten face after the wind blew, and said lightly.

These words finally aroused some Mao Xingjian buried in his heart, the unconvinced rebellious heart, he was a little trembling, a little lonely, and a little mocking and said: "That's right, this time he can justifiably abolish me, and then you, Aunt Chiyo, Aunt Le, you all have a chance again, don't you?" ”

"Really, have you forgotten what Your Majesty said when he left? You will always be the crown prince, his successor! Because you're the prince he hates the most! ”

Standing up with a smile, Adriana's slightly heavy high-heeled boots stepped on the wood, constantly making a crunching sound, and in Mao Xingjian's stunned, she paced to the window with her back hand, and she finally explained the words that Mao Xingjian had been puzzled about.

"A good emperor is either wise and cares about everything, or he doesn't care about anything, the former is like Qin Emperor Han Wu, Tang Dynasty and Song Zu, the latter is like Wenjing, Renxuan, and even the Apocalypse, you don't need any wisdom and martial arts, Xiao Gui Cao will follow!"

"Do you know who you were like before? You are like Chongzhen! ”

Seeing Adriana's finger on his nose, Mao Xingjian obviously shook twice, full of anger, he wanted to open his mouth to argue, but the words were choked in his mouth, and he didn't say anything.

The cold facts were in front of him, and as soon as he closed his eyes, he didn't seem to be able to see Zhao Conglong, Jin Laoliu's angry faces, and he didn't know how many undead were whistling in his ears, wasn't he Chongzhen? Obviously he doesn't have any ability, but he has to intervene in everything, the only thing he is stronger than Chongzhen now may be that Chongzhen has not repented until he died, but he is now decadent.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Adriana didn't seem to bother with him, and waved her little hand like a fly.

"Let's go back! Tomorrow I will arrange a boat for you to return to Daming to inherit your Wanguan family business! Be a Taoist monarch with peace of mind, just rule by hanging the arch, the world, we courtiers will take care of it! ”

I am afraid that Mao Xingjian has never suffered such an insult in his life, and his shoulders trembled violently again because of anger, but he was still speechless, and finally, he turned around and walked out of the room in silence.

But before leaving, his eyes swept over the cowhide map, looking at the huge fork that pierced the eyes, and suddenly, he couldn't help but turn his head and asked.

"This, this battle, you ....., how is the marshal going to fight?"

Adriana was surprised by this question, but she didn't take it seriously, she explained indifferently: "In three days, I will go south in a big way, finish off their navy in the Gulf of Mexico, and then take Mexico City." ”

"You...., you're not going to reclaim the Snake River? There are tens of thousands of blood feuds there! ”

A pair of eyes widened, Mao Xingjian raised his voice for the first time tonight, shouting incredibly, but Adriana still laughed and shook her head.

"No amount of blood feud is only yours, and the mission of this expeditionary force is only to defeat Spain, seize the Isthmus of the New World, and open the way to Europe."

Speaking of this, Adriana's eyes once again became sarcastic, and she snorted sharply.

"Thanks to you, Snake River has 100,000 barbarians who have a few years of food, a large number of iron tools, and are extremely good at playing hide-and-seek in the mountains, with three months of military rations, the life and death of 50,000 troops in the mountains and playing hide and seek with them? Sorry, Ben Shuai is not stupid! ”

"The Snake River is worthless!"

.........

Mao Xingjian didn't know how he got out of Adriana's headquarters, his brain was blank, although others were still alive, but at that moment, he felt that his whole person was dead, all his ideals, all his pride, his actions, and even his personality were vetoed by Adleena.

If Mao Jue sent him this time to watch him stumble and then tell him to shut up completely, then he should have done it, and it seems that the former Mao Xingjian has been wiped out! All that was left was a walking corpse named the Prince.

Just like a corpse, his mind shook back to the tent in the medical area, and he opened the curtain suddenly, and in the next second, Mao Xingjian's pupils shrank again.

Han Xiaomo, who had been lying in a coma on the bed, was gone!!
