Shirley's arrival made Sun Shangxiang, who originally wanted to have a good time in the women's barracks, sullenly go to prepare for the trip, and Minchan found an opportunity to get to Shirley's side and asked quietly: "Shirley, why did you come here in person?" Most of the things up and down here in Yizhou are presided over by you, can you have this time to play? ”

Shirley replied in a low voice: "Don't you think it's because I've hosted too much and for too long that my senior brother's prestige here in Yizhou has been lost?" If it was before this, it might be reasonable, but last year, the population of our Yizhou surged by tens of thousands, and under the mixed hearts of many people, the senior brother had to come forward in person to calm down the people's hearts, otherwise it would be difficult to convince the public with me. If we encounter people with different hearts to take advantage of this, won't this Yizhou treasure island, which we have built with great difficulty, become fat in other people's mouths? ”

Minchan nodded abruptly. Things are just like Shirley said, Lu Ren is always absent from Yizhou for a long time because he wants to "steal chickens and touch dogs" in Jingzhou. And Lu Ren, as the leader of the clan alliance here in Yizhou at this time, this long-term absence from Yizhou is very likely to cause a decline in influence.

If there was no influx of tens of thousands of people last year, Shirley would still be able to hold it down with the image of a popular goddess in the hearts of the original residents, but with a large number of new arrivals, it is inevitable that a girl like Shirley will be a little uncontrollable. After all, in that era, women were only appendages to men, and even utensils.

If Lu Ren doesn't show up at the right time and make a town, maybe there will really be some kind of turmoil caused by those ambitious people. Although Shirley is not afraid of this matter with the strength she has at hand, once there is really any turmoil, it will inevitably cause damage to the existing foundations of Yizhou, which is not something that Lu Ren can afford. If it weren't for that, Shirley wouldn't have hurriedly called Lu Ren back from Jingzhou at that time.

Now Lu Ren is back. Shirley will find a suitable excuse here, and "disappear" for a short period of time, and Lu Ren will come forward to stand up, which will naturally achieve the effect of deterrence. So after Lu Ren discussed with Shirley, Shirley ran out to play on a "holiday", and by the way, she took a look at Sun Shangxiang.

As for some of the development that Shirley is working on. It didn't matter if you stopped for a while, Shirley's stuff was a little too ahead of its time. Even if Shirley comes out immediately, with the current conditions in Yizhou, it is not so easy to digest and absorb, and if you don't do it, there will be a "dyspepsia" theory......

Shirley talked with Minchan for a while, and at a glance, she found that Sun Shangxiang was looking at the women's barracks sullenly, with a stone on her feet, and her virtue was not much different from that of a child who couldn't get pocket money from his parents. Minchan was very helpless when she saw this, and Shirley was after asking the reason. After contacting Lu Ren with a chip for a while, he walked in front of Sun Shangxiang and said to Sun Shangxiang: "I have always heard that Lord Sun is good at martial arts, and his martial arts are good, so are you interested in comparing with me?" ”

Sun Shangxiang was stunned for a moment, and then said curiously: "Sister Xue, you can also martial arts?" ”

Not to mention Sun Shangxiang, even Minchan who came over was stunned. Speaking of which, Minchan has known Shirley for several years, but she has never seen Shirley make a move. Then again, Shirley's ability to demonstrate all this time has been in development and governance. Usually she always looks like an iceberg goddess, who dares here in Yizhou. Or who would want to do it to her? Therefore, after so many years, only Lu Ren knows that Shirley really wants to make a move, and in terms of foot combat alone, I am afraid that no one will be Shirley's opponent...... This Nima is to put it mildly, you have to think about what kind of species Shirley is! It wasn't the slightest thing that "he" stuffed into Shirley's body.

Looking at Shirley again, she smiled at Sun Shangxiang and said, "I'm not good at learning, I can only embroider my legs with a few fists." It may make Lord Sun laugh. But we're just joking, we don't need to take it that seriously...... Oh yes, I can't do swordsmanship, I can only fight with my hands. ”

"Bare hand fighting? You're talking about boxing, right? Then I'm going to have to ask for advice! ”

Sun Shangxiang is a martial artist, and as soon as he heard that there was an opponent, he naturally became interested. Besides, she can't stay in the women's barracks as much as she wants. was depressed in her heart, and suddenly ran into something she was interested in, so naturally she couldn't ask for it.

Here, Shirley smiled and took two steps back to take a posture, but Sun Shangxiang made a mistake again: "Sister Xue, you are wearing this to compete with me?" ”

It's no wonder that Sun Shangxiang will make a mistake, Shirley is wearing a light and cool imitation Tang skirt at this time, and the style is made with reference to Mengli's Qionghua costume in "Sword and Fairy IV", but the sleeves are not so big. And although such a dress is relatively convenient for movement with its calves and shoulders exposed, it doesn't seem to be suitable for fighting.

However, Shirley looked around and said with a smile: "Lord Sun, I practice martial arts for self-defense, and if I really encounter any thieves, will the thieves still allow me to change into a short casual clothes and then do something with me?" It doesn't matter, you just come here. ”

Sun Shangxiang thought about it, but she was still a little hesitant, until Minchan took a gap just now and asked Lu Ren about the situation with a jewelry communicator, and then she patted Sun Shangxiang's shoulder and smiled: "It doesn't matter, Shirley, she has always been like this, you just have to make bold moves." ”

Sun Shangxiang let out an "oh", looked at Shirley who was smiling opposite, thought about it again, and then took a sword salute with a wooden sword in his hand, and said "Please advise" and attacked with a sword. The attack is an attack, but as long as anyone who knows a little about martial arts, they can see that Sun Shangxiang's sword has no practical significance, and it is purely a ceremonial move.

Shirley only smiled when she saw Sun Shangxiang's sword move, and avoided it with a random wrong step...... In fact, if you really want to talk about martial arts routines or something, Shirley doesn't understand those, Shirley knows all the simple and practical "short, flat and fast". In other words, the fighting skills of the Shirley Society are all aimed at quickly defeating the enemy, and are similar in nature to the fighting skills of the army.

However, if it is an ordinary person who uses these skills, Shirley is due to her own "species", and her reaction, speed, and strength can all be described by the word "horror".

Without further ado, let's just say that Sun Shangxiang started a real attack after the three meaningless swords passed, but how to fight felt very awkward. It is often a sword swing, but the lethal sword tip and sword body can't touch Shirley, not to mention that a certain part of his body will immediately be hit by one or two blows, and the more he hits, the more he feels powerless.

On the other hand, Shirley looks so light, and her body twists and dances in her long skirt, which looks particularly charming. Although there have been no fancy and beautiful moves before and after, many times simplicity itself is a kind of beauty, plus Shirley herself is beautiful enough, and her figure is so good that she has nothing to say, so those simple fighting moves, under Shirley's interpretation like flowing water, have played the beauty of "dance".

After a few more moves, Sun Shangxiang's right wrist holding the sword was blocked by Shirley, and it was difficult to exert force, while Shirley's other palm gently pressed Sun Shangxiang's heart and smiled softly: "Lord Sun, you lost." ”

The wooden sword in Sun Shangxiang's hand fell to the ground, and he asked with an incredible look on his face: "Sister Xue, what kind of boxing technique are you, why have I never seen it!" ”

"Well...... this"

Shirley couldn't explain it, so she could only find something else: "It's just a fist and embroidered legs, the ordinary competition skills are okay, but if it really fights, it may be far worse...... Ay? ”

Didn't Shirley press one of her hands on Sun Shangxiang's heart? And the feeling that came to Shirley immediately found the topic to tear away: "How are you erected here?" Are you bound to your chest? Lord Sun, you are only fifteen or sixteen years old, and it is not good for your physical development to tie your chest like this! ”

“……”

――――――――――――――――――――

When Shirley and Sun Shangxiang were talking nonsense, Lu Ren was in the conference room of his mansion, discussing things with the people around him in front of the sea map of Southeast Asia on the big table.

Although the population of Yizhou is now 100,000, in general, the problem of population base is still a hard flaw here in Yizhou, and the Jiangnan area in the Han Dynasty has not been much developed, and the population is still mainly concentrated in the Yellow River Valley.

Lu Ren did everything possible to win over Ganning, hoping that this Jinfan thief would continue to carry forward his "style" and upgrade from a "river/thief" to a "pirate" to go to several coastal areas in the Yellow River valley to plunder the population. And now it is the spring and summer of the tenth year of Jian'an, Lao Cao is still fighting with Yuan Shao's sons for the hegemony of the Hebei region, and the battle is hot, and it is the best time to take advantage of the fire to rob.

If it is two or three years later, that is, after Lao Cao basically unifies the north, Lu Ren's hand will not be so good. First, Lao Cao is not a role that Lu Ren can afford to provoke, and Lu Ren has to ask for the official edict of the court from Lao Cao, otherwise the name is not right, and Lu Ren is prone to problems here, so he can't have any contradictions with Lao Cao; Second, after Cao Cao pacified the north, the things of settling the people were done quickly and in place, and if the people could live and work in peace and contentment, they would naturally not have the heart to flee.

It was based on this strategic idea that Lu Ren had previously instructed Gan Ning to build a transit port on Jeju Island, after all, the docks at the other end of Xuzhou and Jiaodong were not Lu Ren's own territory, and if Gan Ning's pirate fleet only had these supply points, it would be easy to cause a lot of unnecessary trouble. Now that the transit port of Jeju Island has been basically completed, Lu Ren also has to explain the next step to Gan Ning. (To be continued.) )
