After the young official of the prince personally led the army to Susa, Bai Dong officially stepped into the Persian palace. I haven't seen him for more than a year, and the young man who used to be stingy has become much more mature and stable, and he has a dense beard, and he has the temperament of a superior person in his behavior; Although he still calls him 'Brother Bai' in private, he will never forget to exude his majesty as a Persian governor in public. When he accompanied Bai Dong into the Persian palace, the emaciated Xerxes God King III almost trotted all the way to the palace gate to greet him, and then gently bent down to kiss the back of Bai Dong's hand under his gaze.

Glancing at the pale Xerxes III, Bai Dong sighed slightly: "It can't be that you saved him, right?" ”

"Why, I keep in mind my brother's teachings, and will never interfere in the 'internal affairs' of Persia, it was Mogina's daughters and Abu Hassan's men who rescued him from the dungeon, this guy is miserable enough, first he was claustrophobic by the Persian eunuchs, and Kodoman continued to imprison him after becoming the king of Persia, I really don't know how he survived. Now this guy has meat to eat every day, but he can't get back."

Bai Dong glanced at Aukus, who was full of humble smiles, and sighed lightly: "If you can raise your body back, you can't raise back the blood and ambition that a man should have, this person is useless!" Send him to the country, give him some fields, cattle and sheep, and if he is lucky, he may be able to live for a long time. Young officer, it seems that we are going to appoint a spokesperson in Persia, do you say that Mogina is suitable, or is Abu Hassan more reliable? ”

Yingquliang and Bai Dong were thinking about Persia, and after Kodoman's death, the Qin state supported the two major forces of Mogina and Abu Hassan. Mogina is the heir to the Cambyses family. There was the support of the Greeks behind it. Now she is like a queen-level figure of half of the Persian Empire. Abu Hasan is not simple, when Lao Qin marched into Persia, he was the first to lead the way, and he also has the blood of the Persian royal family, and he is also tough.

It is impossible for Lao Qin to place hundreds of thousands of troops in Persia, so he must rely on the strength of these two 'puppet army' groups to indirectly control this huge empire, so Xerxes III's position has become very delicate, and with him in Susa, Mogina and Abu Hassan will never be able to straighten out. The forces of the two major groups just happened to be in the middle line with Susa as the middle line, and half of the Persian Empire.

It was precisely in order to balance the forces of the two sides, after Kodoman's death, Lao Qin asked Gongzi Shaoguan to lead a large army to deter the major provinces of Persia, and on the other hand, secretly ordered Mogina and Abu Hassan to form an army of King Qin, and entered the palace of Susa and rescued Xerxes III, who had been imprisoned for a long time; It is nothing more than hoping that Xerxes III will do this position similar to that of Zhou Tianzi, so that no matter how ambitious Mogina and Abu Hassan are, they will not have an orthodox reputation, even if the two of them really join forces to rebel against Qin, Qin can also send troops to quell the rebellion in the name of Xerxes III, and Persia will never be able to break away from the actual control of Qin.

Now it seems that this Xerxes III is a piece of mud that does not stick to the wall. Zhou Tianzi can't be qualified, Bai Dong came here to bring the order of Yingquliang. It is better to choose one of Mogina and Abu Hassan to rule Persia, and the other to be used only for balancing purposes; There is a young prince who leads the army to sit in Persia, but he is not afraid that this selected 'lucky person' will sit big.

Young Officer Gongzi nodded: "Brother, you are here to trick me again, how can I decide this kind of thing?" It's up to people like the emperor and his brother to come up with the idea. But in this way, the two men will have a division of priority, and the power that will settle in Persia will become even larger, and to suppress it firmly, my army of 50,000 will not be enough. ”

This is a clear thing, before Mogina and Abu Hasan divided half of Persia, and the Persian provinces also chose to be loyal to the two of them, the two sides were equal in strength, and they checked and balanced each other, and the young prince was just a deterrent; If one of them is selected to dominate Persia, and from then on the name is justified, this balance will be broken in an instant, and then the young official of the prince will not only maintain deterrence, but also let these two forces continue to maintain a balance, and the 50,000 army is afraid that it will not be enough.

"In addition to your Qin army, there is also Syldna's kid in Persia. If there are no accidents, the king's order will be issued soon, and Syld will be at your disposal, and it will be enough to control Persia. ”

Bai Dong smiled and patted the young officer Gongzi's shoulder: "Xerxes is an eternal legend in the hearts of the Persians after all, even if he is now a puddle of mud. Oakes will hand it over to you, let him prepare a Zen edict, the name of the transferee can be left blank first, and when this is done, you will arrange for someone to send him to the countryside of Huazimo, give him some fertile land and cattle and sheep, and leave some people to ensure his safety, so that he can spend the rest of his life quietly. Young officer, you have grown up, if it had been three years ago, even if I didn't ask you, I would have taken the initiative to recommend a candidate to succeed Xerxes III, but now you know what to say and what not to say? ”

"Look at what my brother said, I'm also a graduate of Fengming Academy, can I still lose your face?" When the young officer heard Bai Dong's praise, he couldn't help but straighten his chest, and his face was full of pride.

"It's a pity that you still can't be happy and angry?" Bai Dong couldn't help laughing: "But I still like you like this, if you really become an old and slippery person, then you won't be my junior brother anymore." ”

Young Officer Gongzi smiled, lowered his voice and said, "Is that Mojina or Abu Hassan?" The king must have handed over this matter to his brother, right? In his opinion, this matter is a matter of Bai Dong's nod, after all, Persia was defeated by Bai Dong, and the second brother trusts Bai Dong so much.

"You guessed wrong this time, one of the people who came to Persia this time was the most qualified to do it, but it was not me."

"I can't think of anyone else who can take on this important task besides my brother of the Bai family?"

"I don't know if you are really confused or fake, the prince of the country, you can be the country at home, and you can act on behalf of the king outside, and now the position of the prince of Qin has been decided, it is a win! Do you, the uncle, think that he is too overwhelmed to take on such a big task? ”

"Is it a child? How old is he? ”

"It's not small, Lao Dugan's daughter's belly is going to be made big by him, is it still small?"

***

Cao Er agreed to the gambling match proposed by Bai Dong without much hesitation, she just had the idea of gambling with her brother, and the rebellious impulse of adolescence wanted to vent it through this gambling competition.

If she wins, she will be more determined in her rebellious thoughts, and join forces with Zhao Ji to find trouble with her brother, and be a thorough freedom guard, anyway, this is something advocated by her brother, didn't he say it, freedom is more important to life than life and love. If she loses, it doesn't matter, she will complete her marriage as she pontifies, be a good child, try to find the little girl's heart, be her Mrs. Yue Guo seriously, and be the magic lamp of the Bai family with her brother, warm the family, and shield it from all the wind and rain.

Under the protection of Li Di, Cao'er began to run around in Persia, and on the day he left, Ying Si cried like a child; Even he didn't know what kind of affection he had with the little aunt, they also respected Bai Dong, and they also had a terrible rebellious mentality, but the little aunt would put this rebellious psychology into action, but he only dared to hide it in his heart, so he admired and got closer to Cao'er even more.

And Cao'er's age and beauty are the easiest to become the goddess in the minds of boys of his age, asking for a sweat towel is not a casual thing, this is the deepest pursuit and hobby in his heart, of course, the target person must be a big beauty level, and it has to be a natural and fresh beauty like Cao'er's little aunt.

Now that the little aunt is gone, not to mention the original smell of the sweat towel, even the benefits of being able to find an excuse to stay by the side of the little aunt and secretly smell the fragrance on her body on weekdays have also been lost, and he doesn't dare to hate the Taifu's gambling contract, so he simply fell on the Wuqi, if it wasn't for the marriage, how could the little aunt make a bet with the Taifu? How could you leave him without betting? This bastard deserves to die a thousand times!

Just like an angry child complaining that another child snatched his beloved rag doll, Ying Si cursed Wu Li for three days and three nights, and when he opened his eyes on the morning of the fourth day, he was about to continue cursing, but when he saw Taifu's smiling face, he immediately struck.

"Taifu me, me, me"

"I did my homework well last time, and I want to praise you heavily."

"Si'er doesn't dare, it's all up to Taifu to mention it, and the little aunt Cao'er helps me."

"Well, there's one more big thing for you to do. Susa's palace is beautiful, isn't it? But don't always stare at those female slaves in the palace, you are the prince of Qin, you must pay attention to your demeanor. To-morrow he will go with his teacher to meet Abu Hassan, who has just arrived from Aria, and in a few days he will meet Mogina, the queen of Lydia. ”

"Mogina?"

Ying Si's eyes immediately lit up: "I heard that it's a big beauty!" (To be continued.) )
