"That can be a good thing for us, if we can control the army in the northwest, it will be a great help to us, but this is not something that can be effective in a day or two." Ning Wang Zhao Xin is still more cautious.

"Well, I'm still thinking, this Qin Duan is not a stupid person, he should think of the storm that he will encounter when he returns to the imperial capital this time, isn't there a little way to deal with it?" Leng Yuqian, who was originally a little relaxed, fell into thought again.

"But even if Qin Duan knows that he will be in trouble when he returns to the emperor this time, he has to come back, and the northwest can't leave the support of the empire at all now, so it's impossible for him to find any excuse to get rid of it." Ye Xianggao was also thinking.

"It seems that there are still many variables in this matter, maybe I am too optimistic, Qin Duan will not be so simple."

Unable to think of any doubts, Leng Yuqian finally shook his head and said, "Let's observe for a while." But his instincts told him that Qin Duan was definitely not someone who sat still, and he must have his own way of dealing with it.

"Sister, you seem to be a little unhappy, do you have anything on your mind?" The girl who was reading a book saw Zhao Zirou, who was frosted on jade cheeks, coming in from outside the door, and hurriedly put down the book and asked with concern. Han Yan, the personal maid who came in closely, hurriedly took off the master's cloak and hung it on the coat rack for him.

"Princess, you bake the test hands, it's really cold outside, I see that it's about to be the Spring Festival, but this ghost weather doesn't look like the sun is returning at all." Han Yan moved the soft chair to the brazier with concern, next to the girl reading a book.

"Hmph, I think this weather is the same as people's mood, the more unpleasant, the worse it is." Sitting on the soft chair, gently rubbing his stiff hands, with the warmth of the charcoal fire, his hands gradually returned to nature.

"What's wrong, sister?" The chestnut-haired girl raised her delicate eyes and looked at her good sisters curiously. Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess of the empire.

"Well, it's nothing, it's just a little depressed, but then again, how much does it have to do with me?" Zhao Zirou sighed softly and did not answer the chestnut-haired girl's question directly.

"Cold smoke. What is it that makes the eldest princess so unhappy? "The chestnut-haired girl is naturally Sophia, the exiled princess of the original Jemerlot Kingdom.

"Princess Sophia, I don't know what's wrong with the princess, she just came back from Her Highness." Han Yan glanced at the princess of her own family.

"Did you quarrel with your brother?" Sophia asked with concern.

"No, it's okay,"

Zhao Zirou moved her hands, feeling that the indoor temperature was a little high, and unbuttoned the top button of the gold silk rusty jacket, revealing a white jade-like neck, "That Qin Dui came to Beijing to report on his work." Today, I met my father in the court, and I don't know how my father was dizzy, not to mention the promotion of him to duke, but also let him concurrently serve as the governor of the North Loulan region, and oversee the military and political affairs of the entire northwest of the empire and the North Loulan region. ”

"Oh? This guy entered Beijing, and he was named the governor of Beiloulan? So this guy has already controlled Beiloulan? ”

Sophia is no longer the ignorant girl she was a year ago, she has been staying in Zhao Zirou's mansion for the past year, but she is very concerned about the political situation in the entire continent

The Macedan Khanate again raided the state of Yuejing. In one fell swoop, the inclusion of the Viet Kyong Kingdom caused a strong reaction from the empire and surrounding countries such as Milan. It had excited her. However, the embarrassing facts once again sobered her up to the frustration of trying to rely on these illusory forces to restore her own country, the defeat of the empire on the southern frontier one after another, the counterattack of Milan by the Mache Khans, and the posturing of both Andako and Mahad, which made her very depressed.

For a moment she was in a state of confusion. It seems that there is no power in the entire Eastern Continent that can shake the status of the Macedhans, could it be that his mother and younger brother can only live under the imprisonment of the Macedhans for the rest of their lives, and they can live under the fence like this? Although Zhao Zirou has never disliked herself, and has comforted him many times, she is also a girl after all. Sooner or later, he will marry into his door, so he can't go with him. Of course, it is easy for me to find someone to marry, but I always feel unwilling.

Just when she was confused, the news of the Northwest Army's march into Loulan also caused an uproar in the entire empire, due to the remote location, the ordinary people of the empire did not know the details, even the people of the imperial court were not clear. However, she learned from Zhao Zirou that this Qin Duan actually dared to brazenly send troops to Loulan without the authorization of the imperial court, and his audacity was really shocking.

But this person's legendary experience once again aroused her great curiosity, from a little-known weak scholar was able to turn defeat into victory in the case of the rout of the main force of the Western Expedition, and successfully curbed the invasion of the rampant Hun iron cavalry, and then in just a few years, suppressed the bandits and quelled the rebellion, and then broke the Huns, developed the economy, and became the third Jiedu envoy of the Great Qin Empire who held the military and political power in the northwest, and its speed was simply unbelievable.

Although Zhao Zirou said in front of her many times that this Qin Duan was a villain's ambition and chance to climb to this position with intrigue and trickery, she herself didn't think so, how could she succeed by luck or trickery every time, if she didn't have any real skills and no strength, where could she rise to such a high position?

As soon as she heard Zhao Zirou say this today, she suddenly understood the reason why her sister was in a bad mood, she knew that her sister had a very bad impression of Qin Duan for some reason, and always thought that this person was the henchman of the empire.

However, this legendary figure has aroused his curiosity more and more, I really don't know what kind of character this person is? The news media preached that he was rare in the world, unparalleled in the world, and if he had the opportunity, he must meet this person.

Seeing Sophia asking, Zhao Zirou nodded slightly: "Yes, this guy will really take advantage of the fire to rob, and when the two strong neighbors in the south and west of Loulan sent troops to Loulan, he quietly sent troops to pick up a landed peach, controlled the North Loulan area, and it is said that he also signed a mutual aid agreement with the people of Loulan." This guy is really insidious and vicious! After speaking, Zhao Zirou couldn't help but sigh again.

"That's a good thing, he has captured such a large area for the empire, isn't your father even more happy?" Sophia chuckled.

"Humph! Nominally, it is the territory of the Empire, but it is far away, and the Empire cares about it, and I don't think it is equivalent to his own private territory, and it gives him an excuse to reach out to the Empire and ask for money. I'm just worried that my father must not be fascinated by the superficial work done by this guy, and it would be bad to really think that he was a pillar of the empire. Zhao Zirou's words were to the bone, if Qin Duan heard it with his own ears, I am afraid that he would shudder.

"Sister, you always think that this Qin Duan has ill intentions, but so many important ministers in the court, all of them are shrewd and capable people, and your father and emperor have also been through storms for a long time, can't they see it?" Sophia asked softly.

Sophia's words made Zhao Zirou stunned, and a thoughtful expression appeared on her face, and she said for a while: "I think the ministers of the DPRK and China, including my uncles and uncles, may have thought about this problem, but firstly, this Qin Dui has made outstanding achievements, and they all want to use him to guard the northwest border, and secondly, they think that if they can control him, it may be all right to confine him in the northwest, not to mention that there is no conclusive evidence to show this Qin Duan's ambition now, I am afraid that once he is full-fledged, he will not be able to control it. That's a big mistake. ”

"There's actually a way to solve this problem." Sophia smiled mysteriously. (To be continued......)
