Seeing that there were still people who wanted to refute Zhao Yan's opinion, Emperor Zhao Youxiao of the Apocalypse waved his hand impatiently to stop: "Very good, Yan'er, I can't see that you have such a far-reaching view of the northwest shape, far better than some guys who can only talk about it but can't share my worries, according to your opinion, I will appoint Qin Duan as the military and political envoy of the six counties in the northwest to lead the affairs of the northwest." ”

"But I hope that he will be able to solve this great problem in my lifetime, and that I will not be in vain in my hopes of him. Yan'er, as a father, I will appoint you as a minister, and you go to the northwest to announce my appointment, and order him to immediately reorganize the army, put down the rebellion in Meishan and Longdong counties, and pay attention to him to guard against the movements of the Sithro. ”

"The retainers obey!"

Zhao Yan happily accepted the order, this is a good errand, and it is also a great opportunity for him to win over Qin Duan, how to say that the position of the envoy of the six counties in the northwest was won by himself, and this friendship is best to tell him in person.

I didn't expect the Emperor to make a decision so easily, and some people originally wanted to dissuade them, especially the Donglin Party members who didn't deal with Qin Duan, but when they heard that the Emperor's tone was not good, they secretly retracted the words they had received. Zhao Youxiao's gloomy eyes glanced at His Royal Highness's ministers, and announced his retirement from the dynasty with an expressionless face.

The ministers who withdrew from His Royal Highness were talking a lot, and they gathered together in twos and threes to talk about the major events that happened at today's court meeting.

The unquiet day passed like this, and the astonishing expression of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the court was immediately seen by those who had a heart, and there were some new changes in the court.

However, there are also many people who can't sleep at night, in addition to Qin Duan's ascension, there is also Zhao Yan's abnormal expression. The originally very clear image has become a little blurred in the eyes of everyone, is it an occasional punchline, or has it been hidden and now it is revealing its true face? Many people are thinking about this question.

Qin Dui, who was thousands of miles away, didn't know about the change in his position, but Qin Dui was also sensitive to the drastic changes in the shape around him. Maybe fate will turn around in that moment.

In order to cope with the upcoming war, Qin Duan asked the staff of the War Readiness Administration of the two counties to take advantage of the great victory in the northwest to increase propaganda, on the one hand, to consolidate the image of the army among the people, and on the other hand, to attract more people of insight to join the army.

March 11, 16th year of the Apocalypse. In addition to these forty officers, Dean Li Shaoqin, his cheap old man, also recommended thirteen officers from other units to come together, these people are all innocent and have nothing to do with the various forces of the empire, and they are all very capable officers who have been ostracized.

Qin Duan was particularly happy about the arrival of these officers, which was simply a relief in the snow, with the continuous expansion of the army. There is a need for a large number of capable officers, and Qin Du is worried about the lack of mid-level and low-level officers, and the arrival of these officers.

To this end, Qin Duan immediately held a grand welcome banquet, at which Qin Du encouraged the officers to go into battle to fight bravely and establish meritorious deeds, and once again reaffirmed that they should only look at talents and merits, regardless of origin, ethnicity, race, and others. Once again, it won a warm welcome from the officers. Because they also had a hunch that Qin Duan would soon launch a new round of offensive. As for who the opponent is, they can't be sure.

These officers were immediately enriched into the two main battle corps, especially the 1st Division of the 1st Tokugawa First Army, which provoked the other divisions to think that Qin Du was biased. Many of them have held positions at the level of wing commander and deputy wing commander, and some have even taken up positions at the level of deputy brigade commander and deputy division commander.

……

On March 19, the 16th year of the Apocalypse, the Tokugawa County Governor's Office. ushered in a special person, a woman, a woman who wanted to see Qin Duan by name.

"Sir, there's a beautiful girl out there who wants to see you?" Little Cherry came to Qin Dui's room and said to Qin Dui, who was looking at the map in a daze.

"Pretty girl? Who is it? Qin Duan asked with some confusion.

"I don't know." Little Cherry shook her head and said.

"You don't know?"

Qin Duan was a little surprised. After all, the beautiful girls I know, because these women should basically know each other, how can a girl they don't know come out.

"Did she tell her name?" Qin Duan asked.

"No, but she said that she is from Kurihara County, and she is your hometown." Little Cherry said.

"Kurihara-gun? Could it be ......?"

Qin Dui paused for a moment, and hurriedly walked out of the room, Qin Dui estimated that if he guessed correctly, this beautiful woman was probably his fiancée Mu Yunxi, this was the first beautiful woman he had seen when he came to this world, and it was also his nominal woman, Qin Dui did not expect that she would come to Tokugawa County in the northwest.

"Ah......h

Coming to the living room to see the face of the visitor, Qin Duan was dumbfounded, why did she come to Tokugawa County, she was not her fiancée Mu Yunxi, she guessed completely wrong.

"Why, my county guard, have you forgotten about me, a little woman?" Liu Ruyan looked at Qin Duan and asked.

In fact, Liu Ruyan's mood is also very complicated now, I remember that three years ago, on the Mid-Autumn Festival, when I saw this man, he changed from a fool to a talented talent, which made Liu Ruyan look at him with admiration and have a certain affection for him.

It's just that before Liu Ruyan understood what his love was, this Qin Duan had already left Kurihara County. When he heard his news again, this Qin Duan was already the county guard of the fourth grade, the local feudal official, and he was already a figure that his family looked up to.

But this was not over yet, and soon it came that Qin Du led Tokugawa County to defeat the iron cavalry of the Beihun people, a powerful country in the northwest, with a few victories, and the city was a hero of the empire, and was canonized by the emperor as the Marquis of Yongsheng.

This made Liu Ruyan, who has been pregnant with heroes since she was a child, understand that her heart has been conquered by this man she has only met once, and she can't accommodate any other man in her heart, so Liu Ruyan decided to pursue her own happiness.

Liu Ruyan told her grandfather about her idea, but what she didn't expect was that she got the support of her grandfather and many people in the family. So under the arrangement of Liu Ruyan's grandfather, Mr. Liu, Liu Ruyan followed the business group of Kurihara County to Tokugawa County.

"How can it be, Miss Liu is such a beautiful girl, no matter which man has seen it, no one will forget it."

Qin Duan said with a smile, this Liu Ruyan came to Tokugawa County to find himself, which really surprised Qin Duan, after all, he and this Liu Ruyan had spoken a few words one night three years ago, and they had no friendship at all.

"Really? Why did the little woman think that Lord Qin had almost forgotten the little girl. Liu Ruyan said sadly.

Miss Liu laughed, did Miss Liu have anything to do with her visit to Tokugawa County this time? If you need to go to Qin Dusk, just ask. ”

Qin Duan couldn't stand Liu Ruyan's watery eyes, and quickly changed the topic and said, If you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, Qin Duan feels that this Liu Ruyan must have something to find herself.

"I'm looking for you." Liu Ruyan looked at Qin Duan with some resentment and said.

"Looking for me?"

Qin Duan was a little numb by Liu Ruyan's eyes, and asked suspiciously.

"Can you find a quiet room, I'd like to talk to you alone." Liu Ruyan seemed to have decided something in her heart, and said to Qin Duan with a red face.

"In that case, then go to my study." Qin Du thought about it, and took Liu Ru to his study.

"Can you tell me what to do now?" Qin Duan looked at Liu Ruyan and asked.

"Wait a minute."

Liu Ruyan didn't answer Qin Dui's words immediately, but went to close the door of the study.

"What are you?" Qin Duan looked at the red-faced Liu Ruyan suspiciously and asked, what is mysterious.

"Lord Qin, you are a big man, a hero of the empire, and you are afraid that I will not be able to eat you by a little woman."

Liu Ruyan, who was originally blushing and a little embarrassed, looked at Qin Duan's somewhat worried eyes, and said with an unhappy look at Qin Duan.

"That's not true, I'm afraid that I can't help but eat you, Miss Liu." Qin Duan said with some embarrassment, what is he afraid of as a big man.

"Don't call me Miss Liu, I want you to call me like smoke." Liu Ruyan looked at Qin Duan affectionately and said, that look was simply looking at the eyes of her lover.

"Then my name is Ruyan, Ruyan, what are you looking for me?" Qin Duan asked suspiciously.

"Lord Qin, I came to Tokugawa-gun this time to pursue my own happiness." Liu Ruyan looked at Qin Duan and said.

"Pursue your own happiness?" Qin Duan vaguely understood what Liu Ruyan meant, but he wasn't sure yet.

"Yes, Lord Qin, I like you, so I came to Tokugawa County to sue you, I like you, I'm afraid that if I don't say it now, when your official position gets higher and higher in the future, I don't dare to say what I want to say, so I followed the merchant group to Tokugawa County this time, just to be able to tell you that I like you." Liu Ruyan said.

"Like smoke, how can Qin Mou He De let you be like this."

Qin Du said in some surprise, but there was still some secret joy in his heart, let a girl come to Tokugawa County thousands of miles away, tell herself, she likes herself, this is a very proud thing for men, especially this woman is still a very beautiful girl.

"No, no matter what aspect you deserve, whether you accept me or not, I have to sue you, I like you, so that I won't regret it." Liu Ruyan said.

"Like smoke, I already have a lot of women." Qin Duan touched his nose and said.

"I don't mind, I just want to be your little woman."

Liu Ruyan looked at Qin Dui with a watery look and said, that pitiful appearance simply made Qin Dui's heart melt. (To be continued......)
