After the meal, Qin Du was alone in the room and pondered. This is a very quiet place, because it is located outside the city, the business of this inn is not too good, and it has been closed in recent years, the businessmen who go out to do goods, and the travelers who are walking outside have all returned home to prepare for the Spring Festival, so this inn is even more deserted, this Qin Dui and his party of dozens of people immediately chartered the entire inn, and the boss was happy to smile, and quickly let Xiao Er cheer up his spirits, serve seriously, and be very attentive. Fortunately, the food in this inn tastes good, and Qin Duan is also satisfied.

I'm afraid that I can't help myself when I enter the imperial capital, what do I think of what I do, the ministers of the court and the princes? What does His Majesty the Emperor think? Qin Dui, who was originally very confident, felt a little nervous when he entered the city. Don't go into the city and be taken down and become a prisoner, then it would be a mistake. Qin Duan laughed dumbly, and fell his head, as if he wanted to throw away this ridiculous idea, thinking that the imperial court would not do such an outrageous thing, even if his power expanded too quickly, but objectively he still made great contributions to the empire, not to mention the high merit, at least it is not an exaggeration to protect the family and defend the country and expand the territory.

After saying that Wei Zhongxian can now be said to be half of his father-in-law, and Dean Li of the Imperial Military Academy is also his father-in-law, how can the imperial court have news that is unfavorable to them, they will definitely sue themselves as soon as possible, and they have not received it, which means that the imperial court will not be unfavorable to themselves.

Out of his own sphere of influence, Qin Duan always felt a little unaccustomed, accustomed to the mentality of being high and self-respecting, and now suddenly it has suddenly become a state of artificially cutting me as a fish, especially in a situation where I am not clear about the enemy or myself, and I no longer have the feeling of having the initiative in my hands, I am afraid that it will be difficult for anyone to adapt for a while.

It seems that he has stayed too well in good times, and he hasn't gone through much tempering, Qin Du thought to himself. Maybe this trip to the imperial capital can really exercise your mood and endurance.

The knock on the door of "Tuk Tuk" woke Qin Duan from his contemplation, "My lord, Lord Deng is here." ”

"Ask him to come in." Qin Duan stood up.

The door was gently pushed open, and a strict figure covered by a thick coat and cloak walked in, and the door squeaked shut, and the visitor saluted. Then he took off his coat and cloak.

"Deng Xian, what is the danger?" Qin Duan patted the person on the shoulder and asked, this Deng Xian was originally Qin Dui's close guard, and they had deep feelings for each other.

A trace of excitement also flashed on Deng Xianleng's face, and then disappeared. Qin Duan also knew that his subordinate had always been like this, and he didn't care.

"When did you arrive?"

"I'm here at noon, I'd like to see you to understand the situation before entering the city." Qin Duan motioned for him to sit down, sat back in his place, and took a sip of tea.

"Are you safe along the way?"

"It's all right. I didn't alarm the places along the way either. Qin Duan took out an item at random, this is a jade box, "Here, this is for you, a specialty of the Green Sea Swamp, Moyu Poria, it's a pity that there is only one of these things." ”

"Oh? Moyu Poria Cocos? Thank you, sir, but it's too valuable. Humble duties cannot be accepted. ”

Deng Xian, who was plain and fresh, also looked moved, this black jade poria is a treasure. It's no worse than a thousand years of people. It is said that this item can generate essence and strengthen the marrow after ordinary people take it, and can rejuvenate the aging and injured internal organs, although it has no effect of reviving the dead, but it has an excellent effect on prolonging life and strengthening the body.

"If you want to take it, you will accept it." Qin Duan said impatiently.

Deng Xian wanted to refuse, but seeing that Qin Duan was already a little impatient. I had to accept it, but I was secretly moved in my heart.

"Okay, let's get down to business, what's the current situation in the imperial court and everywhere?" Qin Duan turned the topic back.

"The adults have already understood the situation ahead, and the Southern Military Region of the Empire has made major adjustments. His Majesty the Emperor is really an old man, taking advantage of the defeat of the Fifth and Sixth Army Corps to carry out a major reshuffle of the top of the Southern Military District, reappointing a large number of his own cronies, His Royal Highness King Xin suffered heavy losses and was almost completely excluded from the army. Meng Hai, the current commander of the Southern Military Region, Wu Yuanba, the commander of the Fifth Army Corps, and Jin Zhengyang, the commander of the Sixth Army Corps, were all born in the Praetorian Guard system and were all confidants of His Majesty the Emperor. Deng Xian said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"The situation in the south is still dull, the new officials do not seem to have made much progress, and the conflict on the border still does not take much advantage, but fortunately there is no major fighting. The Fourth Army of the Empire had entered the south, and several independent divisions of the Eastern Military Region had also entered the Five Lakes region, but Milan had been defeated in successive battles, and the Mache Khans had taken advantage of the situation to invade the territory of Milan, and the Milanes had lost their will to fight, and it was said that they were already in peace talks with the Mache Khans. However, the rebellion in the Yuejing State that was expected by the DPRK did not take place, and some small resistance was quickly extinguished by the Maqi Khan garrison, and now it is stable, and it seems that the rule of Nali Deguang is really unpopular, so that the Maqi Khan people picked up a big peach. Deng Xian's words were full of regret.

"If there is no Milan and Yuejing's domestic containment, I'm afraid the battle of the empire will be a little difficult to fight." Qin Dui frowned slightly, and said thoughtfully.

"The Mahad and Andako, who used to make a lot of trouble, have now lost their news, and it is said that the Japanese people in the Great Eastern Ocean have been frequently haunting the vicinity of the Great Pearl Islands recently, which has caused the Milans and Mahad to be very nervous, and they have strengthened their vigilance at sea." Deng Xian said again.

"Oh? This Japanese man really chooses the timing, is it a coincidence, or is it related to the Maqi Khans? Qin Duan raised his thick eyebrows and asked.

"I haven't found anything involved, but the Japanese people are extremely ambitious, and they have long coveted those islands in the Great Eastern Ocean, I'm afraid it's not just the Great Pearl Islands, but even Treasure Island, Kamchatka Island and the Ryukyu Islands, they also have ambitions, if they weren't still fighting internally, I'm afraid it would have become a big trouble on the eastern sea frontier of the empire, and this has also brought a lot of trouble to the eastern coast of the empire. If given the chance, these hateful widows will never sit idly by.

"As far as I know, there is still a certain gap between the shipbuilding technology of the Japanese and the Empire and the Milanese, do they dare to challenge the Empire and the Milanese now?" Qin Duan was a little puzzled.

"Well, there is a certain gap between the shipbuilding technology of the Japanese and the Imperial and Milanese, but in the past two years, the Japanese have also worked hard to narrow these gaps, and I heard that their leader attaches great importance to this aspect."

Qin Duan shook his head, "This gap in shipbuilding technology is by no means something that can be achieved overnight in a day or two, it is formed after years of accumulation, unless they get the direct support of the Empire and the Milanese, it is impossible to catch up at once, and ......" Thinking of this, Qin Dui's face was a little gloomy. (To be continued......)
