The scenery of the northern country, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting.

The heavy snow has been falling for three days, and it has long been covered in snow and silver, covering the world.

As far as the eye can see, it is all snow-capped.

Whether it is the tower flying pavilion, or the tile house willow lane, are covered with thick snow, it is difficult to see the cornices and tile joints, carved railings and jade masonry.

Xu Yichan retreated back, so she had a cold face, wrinkled her brows, and sat quietly without saying a word.

The palace maids and eunuchs in the hall couldn't help but look nervous, and they all bowed their heads and waited respectfully.

At lunchtime, Ye Qiange stepped into the hall and caught a glimpse of Xu Yichan's face, and knew that there was a fear of something going on in the court.

He was curious.

On weekdays, it is rare to see her angry, but today's situation is extraordinary.

He beckoned to Gonggong Zhou and asked carefully, and after learning about it, Ye Qiange's expression couldn't help but become solemn.

- The Celestial Wolf Country has invaded the territory!

Actually, there's no fuss about it.

Every year in late autumn and early winter, the Sky Wolf Kingdom will go south to grab food.

It's just that the difference this year is that the size of the enemy army has increased more than ten times compared to previous years!

According to the news from the front, more than 10,000 enemies have been invaded this time!

At this time in previous years, the Sky Wolf Kingdom would only send a small force of cavalry into the country to plunder, and the number of people was usually no more than a thousand.

This time, the other party made a long-distance attack, crossed Jinshan, broke through several towns in Lingzhou in one fell swoop, and plundered thousands of people.

By the time reinforcements arrived, the enemy had withdrawn to the hinterland of the wolf, leaving only ruins and corpses all over the ground.

"Let's all go down."

"Whoa."

The palace maids and eunuchs in the palace breathed a sigh of relief and retreated.

"It's already happened, and no matter how angry you are, it won't help." Ye Qiange served a bowl of soup for Xu Yichan and said lightly.

Xu Yichan pursed her lips, glanced at Ye Qiange, and said crisply: "I'm not angry with anyone?" ”

"Your Majesty—"

"Lingzhou has always been the northwest fortress of our Daxu, guarded by heavy troops, and the Heavenly Wolf Country led all the troops to attack the south, and there is a faint tendency to declare war. is so ready to move, after the delivery of the Sky Wolf Glass Seal, I am afraid that a big battle will be indispensable. ”

Ye Qiange pondered for a moment and said, "Since Lingzhou is a fortress in the northwest and bears the heavy responsibility of border defense, why is it easily attacked?" ”

Xu Yichan raised her eyes and said, "As the prince of Zhenbei, you are so ignorant of my Daxu border defense?" ”

"Lingzhou is vast and boundless, how can it be fortified everywhere, the so-called attack on the three towns of Lingzhou is just a place for trade on the border."

Xu Yichan frowned slightly, "In previous years, the Heavenly Wolf Country would definitely not plunder this place, because once it was destroyed, the trade between Great Xu and the Heavenly Wolf Country would be interrupted, which would do more harm than good, and this time it was so reckless that it had to make people worry." ”

Ye Qiange touched his nose and felt that he had asked a very idiotic question.

As far as he knew, Daxu's border defense was not based on city fortresses, but on military towns.

From Lingzhou in the northwest to Shuozhou in the north, a solid line of defense was formed.

Ye Qiange pursed his lips and said, "It's just that a big war is about to start, and there is no scruples." ”

Xu Yichan bowed slightly, noncommittal.

"Let's eat, it's cold, and the food is going to be cold." Ye Qiange saw that Xu Yichan was still frowning and thinking deeply, and couldn't help but urge.

Xu Yichan glared at him, absentmindedly picked up the chopsticks, and ate them in small bites.

Ye Qiange couldn't cry or laugh for a while, and said: "The soldiers are coming to block, the water is coming to cover the earth, the Heavenly Wolf Country has not yet declared war, why should Your Majesty be so worried." ”

"Besides, if you don't sweep away the chaotic army, you will fight together, and you will suffer from the enemy on your back, and you may have many accidents."

Xu Yichan made a move, her eyes gradually focused, and she ate with relish.

As soon as he put down his chopsticks, Zhou Gonggong hurried in.

"Your Majesty, Lord Wu Ya Jin Wei Mo Mo Mo asks to see you."

"Xuan!"

Xu Yichan and Ye Qiange's eyes invariably crossed a bright color.

"Whoa!"

After a while, he saw Mo Mo and Flying Shadow Quicksand walking in quickly, kneeling down and bowing: "Minister Mo Mo (quicksand), meet Your Majesty and the prince." ”

"Flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Mo Mo, when did you return to Beijing?" Ye Qiange couldn't help asking.

"Back to the prince, the villain is in a hurry day and night, and he doesn't dare to delay a bit, and he will enter the palace when he returns to Beijing today." Mo Mo said sonorously.

Ye Qiange waved his hand and said, "Don't be in such a hurry, your serious injury has not healed, you still have to pay more attention to your body." ”

Mo Mo had a warm current in his heart, but he shook his head and said, "The minister has something important to report, so he must be in a hurry!" ”

Ye Qiange and Xu Yichan glanced at each other, and couldn't help but have a surprise on their faces.

Mo Mo squinted at the quicksand a few times, and the quicksand understood, handed the small box in his hand to Ye Qiange and said, "Lord Wang, inside is the silver tickets earned in the past ten days, a total of 24.5 million taels!" ”

"In a few days, tens of millions of taels will still be credited."

Hiss –

At this moment, even the empress who owns the world can't help but gasp.

"So much?"

Ye Qiange's eyes widened, his face was full of incredulity, he swallowed his saliva, and hurriedly opened the wooden box, and saw a pile of thick silver tickets, each of which was worth 100,000 taels of silver.

That's two hundred and forty-five!

And that's just 10 days to earn.

"If the prince extends the ten-day period a little, the villain is sure that he can earn a few million taels more!" Quicksand was very distressed, and couldn't help but sigh when he thought of entering Baoshan but returning empty-handed.

"It seems that this king underestimated the rich people in the world." The corners of Ye Qiange's mouth curled.

Xu Yichan nodded sympathetically.

The two thousand-four million-and-five-million-taels, alone, were very surprising to her.

That's more than Da Xu's tax revenue in a year!

Thinking of the next one, a lot of income of this figure, the pretty face couldn't help but cross a happy color.

"You're doing a good job." Xu Yichan opened her mouth lightly and couldn't help but admire.

"Back to Your Majesty, this is all the work of quicksand." Mo Mo Dao.

"Lord Mo is serious, if it weren't for Lord Mo's help, Xiao Chen alone would never be able to do this step!" Quicksand hurriedly bowed his hand.

"This is a credit, not a crime, and you two don't have to blame each other." Ye Qiange smiled and said, then took out ten silver tickets from them, handed them to Mo Mo, and said, "These days, you have also worked hard, take it and treat yourself, as for how to distribute it, you can do it yourself." ”

"It's-"

Mo Mo was stunned, hesitated for a while, and didn't know whether to answer or not.

"Take it." Xu Yichan squinted at Ye Qiange a few times, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, and said.

"Whoa."

Ten pieces is a million taels of silver!

Mo Mo's throat was dry, and he took it respectfully.

This matter is over.

"What is the important thing in your mouth?" Xu Yichan's eyes flashed, and she couldn't help but ask.

Mo Mo's face was solemn, he knelt on one knee, and said in a deep voice, "Back to Your Majesty, the minister got the news that someone saw the rebel army entering and leaving Jinling, as if entering a no-man's land, and secretly thought that the rebel army was secretly colluding with King Ning, and the plan was very big!" ”
