Mu Sirong covered her mouth and smiled, but she was not a member of the Li family after all, seeing Li Zicheng's calm face, she hurriedly smiled, and hid behind Sun Mengjie and did not dare to come out.

Gao Guiying is a little older, so she can naturally guess Tian Fen's other identity, and she is also self-contained, there are many women in the world, why do you want to bring back a yellow-haired and blue-eyed person, who is similar to a ghost, and she is not afraid at night......

After all, she is a big lady, and her family ugliness should not be publicized! Hurriedly shouted: "Sister Die'er can't be rude, let's go home and talk about anything!" ”

Song Yulian's face turned blue with fright, it is true that the Metropolitan Governor loves Die'er, but she can't be pampered and arrogant, she hurriedly walked over, her face was full of the usual kindness and smile, "Die'er, the Metropolitan Governor is tired all the way, and the cold wind is blowing, go home with the Metropolitan Governor!" ”

Chen Qiudie is Yuxin's mother, she is no longer the little girl she was at the beginning, seeing that the eldest lady and mother are protecting the governor, although she is annoyed in her heart, she doesn't dare to say anything.

Li Zicheng asked his soldiers to wait in the central office, and he took Tian Fen and Kite to return home with the ladies.

He took off the armor on his body, handed it to Xiaomei to accept, and then sat down on the main seat with a golden sword, "Xiaolan, take Fen'er and Kite down to go around and familiarize yourself with the environment at home!" ”

Seeing that Li Zicheng's expression was not good, all the ladies were uneasy, and they didn't even dare to sit down, and even Li Feng and Li Yuxin, the two little girls, were taken away by the nurse.

"Gui Ying, you are inconvenient, sit down!" Li Zicheng saw that Mu Sirong was also there, so he said: "Rong'er is a guest house, you don't have to be formal, you can sit too!" ”

Mu Sirong blushed and hesitated for a while, but still helped Gao Guiying and sat on the chair together.

Li Zicheng looked at Chen Qiudie, his eyes widened, and she was startled, and he hurriedly covered his mouth with both hands, but he didn't scream.

"I might as well tell you that this Tian Fen is already my wife!"

Although they already had a hunch, when Li Zicheng announced this message personally, the ladies still felt their hearts were stuffy, as if they had been hit hard by some heavy object.

Song Yulian is half a lady and half a servant, because of Chen Qiudie's relationship, she will never be able to get Li Zicheng's identity authentication in her life, so Li Zicheng wants to marry and sleep, and how many women she marries, it has nothing to do with her, she is still worried about Chen Qiudie, if Die'er annoys the Metropolitan Governor......

She couldn't help but look at Chen Qiudie, fortunately Chen Qiudie lowered her head, although her eyes were full of water, she didn't dare to fight with the Metropolitan Governor, but she just expressed her protest silently with her pitiful feelings.

Li Zicheng took a sip of tea, then put down the tea cup and said coldly: "Do you know why I want to marry Fen'er?" ”

Not only Gao Guiying, Sun Mengjie, but even Chen Qiudie also raised her head, but she found that her vision was a little blurry, so she hurriedly lowered her head and secretly wiped away her tears with a sweat towel.

"I went east to Longyou this time, tossing and turning, going back and forth for thousands of miles, even if I took Longyou and captured all the soldiers of the imperial court, but Longyou was not conquered," Li Zicheng leaned back in his chair and said quietly: "Among the nearly a million people in Longyou, more than half of them are foreign races, and they refuse to ......surrender at all."

"The servant knows that the governor is hardworking, and if the governor needs a woman, the servant will not object, but ...... But......" Chen Qiudie's eyes were hazy with tears again, "But why did the Metropolitan Governor bring such a woman back?" Looks like ...... Butterfly was scared when she saw it......"

Sure enough, it is for Fen'er's appearance, blonde hair and blue eyes, fair skin, and delicate face, which you will not appreciate! Li Zicheng was amused in his heart, but he deliberately kept a straight face and said, "Don't you understand, there are hundreds of thousands of alien races with the same origin as Fen'er in Longyou, am I going to kill them all?" If you really want to kill them all, who will grow food for the Mandate of Heaven? ”

Gao Guiying blinked her eyes and said, "Could it be that these foreign submissions have something to do with this Tian Fen?" ”

"It's still Gui Ying's husband, worthy of being the eldest lady," Li Zicheng showed a slight smile on his face, "In order to naturalize these alien races, Fen'er learned to ride a horse, traveled thousands of miles, and persuaded these alien races who had some kinship with her little by little, and finally let these aliens all naturalize into Han nationality, and from then on, like the Han people, they will become the people under my Heavenly Mandate Army, and produce food for the Heavenly Mandate Army with peace of mind." ”

“……”

"Because Fen'er rode a white horse everywhere to appease these alien races, she won the reputation of 'White Lady'," Li Zicheng's gaze swept over the faces of the ladies, and finally landed on Chen Qiudie's face, "If it weren't for Fen'er's rush, the Battle of Longyou would have lasted for at least three months, and besides, the aliens did not obey discipline, and riots often occurred, and the stability of Longyou did not know until the Year of the Monkey!" ”

“……”

Seeing that everyone didn't dare to speak, Li Zicheng sighed faintly and said: "In this Longyou Battle, although Fen'er is a woman, she has helped me a lot, if it weren't for Fen'er's reinforcements, this Xinyuan, I would definitely not be able to return to Xining......"

"The Governor of Dadu......" Gao Guiying was shocked, although she was the eldest lady, she had never been able to help her husband, she originally thought that giving birth to her husband was the greatest help to him, but now it seems that ......

She used to be under the command of her uncle Gao Yingxiang, and she was thriving on weekdays, but as soon as Cao Wenzhao's army arrived...... Although the Heavenly Mandate Army currently occupies Longyou, the imperial court will never let the Heavenly Mandate Army sit large, once the imperial army comes to attack, and the situation in Longyou is unstable......

Over there, Chen Qiudie was already kneeling, "Metropolitan Governor, the servant is willing to do anything for the Metropolitan Governor!" ”

"You?" Li Zicheng snorted coldly, "If you don't make trouble for me, what can you do?" Can you make the aliens of Xining feel at ease? ”

Chen Qiudie's face was flushed, "Son...... The servant will go to ...... tomorrow."

Li Zicheng also felt that his words were too heavy, so he smiled lightly: "If you enter the home of a foreign race, you won't be eaten by them?" My butterfly is so delicate, I don't worry about letting you show up! ”

"Metropolitan Governor ......" Chen Qiudie raised her eyes pitifully, and there was another layer of mist.

"Sit down, when I need you, I will naturally let you do things," Li Zicheng left his seat, helped Chen Qiudie up, and pressed him on the chair opposite, "Now, you don't have to think about anything, study the course with peace of mind - during the time I was not in Xining, your studies were not wasted, right?" This sentence was said to Sun Mengjie and Mu Sirong.

"No, no, we've been reviewing our homework!" Sun Mengjie is different from Chen Qiudie and Mu Sirong, she is a student of Xining Girls' School, and she has a contract with the Heavenly Mandate Army, she is now the wife of the Grand Duke, this contract may be invalidated, but she likes her studies, and secondly, the Grand Governor has never said that she wants to abolish this contract, so she never dares to delay her studies.

Mu Sirong also nodded, "Sun Lin has already compiled a dictionary, and when we reviewed our homework, we learned a lot of new words from the dictionary. ”

"That's right," Li Zicheng cast an approving look at them, "Learn your homework first, and you can do things for the Heavenly Mandate Army in the future!" Suddenly, he realized and said, "Sun Lin has compiled a dictionary?" ”

"Yes, Metropolitan Governor, it was compiled about a month ago!"

Li Zicheng nodded, and said in his heart, when he was not in Xining, the students could only review their homework, but could not learn new knowledge, it seemed that they had to hurry up and print the dictionary, and then print some books that simplified Chinese characters, so that the students could learn by themselves.

However, this is a matter of the future, now that Tian Fen is settled, he will go to Liang Wencheng's reception banquet, so he said: "Gui Ying, Wen Cheng will be my pick-up, Tian Fen will be handed over to you!" ”

"Zicheng rest assured, I guarantee that there will not be a single hair missing," Gao Guiying was worried about Li Zicheng, hesitated for a while, and finally said: "Zicheng, I just came back from Longyou, I have been running all the way, my body is tired, or ...... Drink less pub ......"

"I know, I know," Li Zicheng said with a smile: "Wencheng They want me to drink, so I say, 'When I go out, Mrs. will make a generation, drink less and eat more!" ”

"Poor mouth!" Gao Guiying scolded with a smile, "Go quickly, don't let Lord Liang wait." ”

Li Zicheng nodded, glanced at Chen Qiudie again, and then pushed the door out, and rushed to Xining Mansion with his own soldiers.

Compared with the original three small dilapidated houses, the current government has been expanded into three entrances, and the outer wall has been built, which already has some appearance, but compared with the government office in the interior of the Ming Dynasty, it is still too cold.

Liang Wencheng heard the sound of horses' hooves, personally greeted the mansion, welcomed Li Zicheng to the middle hall, and served tea, "Governor, the dinner will be ready soon, take advantage of the time when the people serve food, tell your subordinates about the war in Longyou, although the subordinates are now civil officials, but after all, they are from the army......

"Wen Cheng, are you outside?" Li Zicheng said with a smile: "No matter when, you and I are brothers!" Liang Wencheng is the only one among the military attaches of Xiningwei who took the initiative to take refuge in him, and he was also the first to take refuge in him.

"Haha, too, a penalty for drinking!" Liang Wencheng laughed, and hurriedly changed his words: "Zicheng, I heard about the battle situation in Longyou, but it can't be detailed, can Zicheng solve my doubts?" ”

"Actually, although Longyou has been rectified by Cao Wenzhao, the general army, it is similar to the previous Xining, with low morale, serious shortage, and insufficient food and salary, such an army is naturally not the opponent of the Heavenly Mandate Army," Li Zicheng held the tea cup in his hand to warm his hands, and said: "The Longyou War, the focus is not on Longyou, but on the army facing the imperial court in the future." ”

"Zicheng, I also heard that this time Cao Wenzhao came to Guguan and almost all the troops were wiped out...... Isn't Cao Wenzhao known as the 'thief buster'? How can you ...... so bear?"

"Wen Cheng can know, what is the biggest difference between the Heavenly Mandate Army and other thieves in Shaanxi?"

"The difference?" Liang Wencheng thought for a moment and said, "Could it be the Xining rifle......?"

"That's pretty much what it means," Li Zicheng said with a smile: "The Heavenly Mandate Army has its own territory, so that it can develop grain production, and when the food is sufficient, it can not only expand the army, but also concentrate manpower to develop advanced firearms. ”

"Zicheng, I understand, so we must strictly guard the Guanshan Road and block the army of the imperial court outside!"

"This is the first step," Li Zicheng said leisurely: "If you only possess the lands of Xining, Gansu, and Longyou, you will not be able to deal with the imperial court in the end, and there is no pass in the world that cannot be broken." ”

"Self-contained, the Mandate of Heaven Army will continue to advance eastward in the future?"

"Wencheng, throughout history, have you ever seen a big deal just by relying on Longyou?"

Liang Wencheng thought for a moment and said: "I understand, under the premise of the Mandate of Heaven firmly guarding the Guanshan Road, the next goal is either to conquer Guanzhong in the east, or to go south to Bashu!" ”

Just as the people from the government came to urge them to sit down, Li Zicheng got up and said: "I'm already hungry, let's sit down first, tomorrow morning, you and Shen Dao will go to the Dadu Governor's Mansion, and we'll talk in detail!" ”
