The strength of Qi Guo is far above that of Xu Guo, but what makes Xiao Changqing unable to figure out is the geographical location of Xu Guo, and other small countries don't want to attack there at all.

The place is small, and it is sandwiched between two mountains, and there are only two months in the three seasons of spring, summer and autumn, and the rest is all winter, even if you capture the kingdom of Xu, no one else dares to move in!

Xu Guo can also be remembered by other small countries about iron smelting, but six years ago, Xu Guo disclosed the secret recipe of iron smelting, which blew up Li Guo at that time, and Li Guo thought that only they and Xu Guo had iron smelting in this world.

Well, now everyone in the world knows the secret recipe of iron alchemy, and as long as they can read, everyone can do iron smelting.

So, what is Qiguo worried about?

"Xuguo is in a dangerous situation, surrounded by two mountains, and relies on transporting some fruits, vegetables and meat from Li all year round, so I can only think that the only reason why Qi Guo occupies Xuguo is that Xuguo is located in the rear of Li Guo, if Qi Guo wants to take the opportunity to sneak attack in the future, Xuguo is the best location."

What Xiao Changqing said was appreciative of Gao Lang and Lu Chengye, and they also thought so.

"But fortunately, Xuguo has become an ally with Li Guo, and if Qi Guo really sends troops to fight Xuguo, Li Guo will not sit idly by." Lu Chengye's words, Xiao Changqing couldn't tell whether he was from the bottom of his heart, wanted to help Xu Guo, or had other plans.

Now that this can be taken one step at a time, who knows if the Qi Kingdom will really send troops to attack the Xu Kingdom as the secret agent said.

Four days later, the duel between Emperor Li Guoxin and Vice General Xiao, the only female disciple of General Zheng Yuan, officially began in the makeshift ring outside the imperial city.

Most of the girls in the audience are girls who have not yet left the cabinet, they are all wearing veils and cannot show their faces, but from the fact that they are staring at the ring one by one, it can be known that they are unwilling.

Only the only female disciple of General Zheng Yuan who was unwilling to duel with the emperor was unwilling, but they also knew that such unwillingness was in vain.

In the formal martial arts competition, the two sides wore martial arts uniforms, and the swords in their hands were unsheathed with a cold glow, which shocked several people in the audience.

"This contest is up to the point, and it can't hurt the innocent." As the referee, General Zheng Yuan, standing in the center of the ring, announced in a loud voice that the competition had officially begun.

Lu Chengye and Xiao Changqing both studied under Zheng Yuan, but the way and speed of their swords were different.

Xiao Changqing likes to win with speed, if she can't love war, she won't love war, the best thing is to fight quickly, so she makes quick moves, and she doesn't give the enemy the slightest reaction at all.

Lu Chengye is mainly steady, mostly defensive, he will break every move of the opponent one by one, so as to turn defense into offense.

It was this kind of stability that dissolved Xiao Changqing's speed and broke her move, and Lu Chengye instantly put the tip of the sword against Xiao Changqing's neck.

In a flash of light, this duel ended, leaving the audience stunned, and they almost didn't realize what had just happened, General Zheng Yuan announced that the emperor had won.

Those military attachés who bet that Xiao Changqing would win instantly knelt on the ground in pain and pounded the floor, and they lost two months!!

"The emperor's swordsmanship is really the same as what the master said, I am still too eager to make a move, and Chang Qing is convinced." Holding the hilt of the sword with both hands, Xiao Changqing saluted Lu Chengye and said.

Zheng Yuan had told her before that she should not be too eager to make a move, and it was good to make a lethal move, but when she met those masters who could use their brains and liked to use their scheming, Xiao Changqing was not their opponent at all.

It's not that our evergreen doesn't use her brains to fight, it's that she doesn't have any scheming, it's good if she can win, and if she can't fight, she won't see it as her own shame because she escaped.

If you can live, why should you feel ashamed to run away?

"If Vice Admiral Xiao's sword can be a little faster, the entire Li Kingdom will not be Vice Admiral Xiao's opponent as far as the eye can see." So many people looked at it, and Lu Chengye took back the word 'evergreen' on his lips.

"The emperor has won the prize!"

After the two of you and I praised each other, this duel is meaningless, anyway, it is the emperor who wins, and what he said when he was still the crown prince is probably impossible to be realized.

How could there be a girl who could win against the emperor! Doesn't that mean that the emperor doesn't want to marry a wife in his life?!

The civil officials who came to find Xiao Changqing last time saw this result, they couldn't sit still anymore, and when the emperor returned to the palace, they collectively knelt outside the imperial study.

Gao Lang stood in front of them, straight and straight, and General Zheng Yuan was discussing with Lu Chengye about starting the country.

According to the investigation of the secret agents sent out in Qiguo, the royal family of Qiguo is the descendant of the royal family who fled at that time after being defeated by Li Guo.

It cannot be ruled out that the Kai Congress will retaliate against the Lebanese State, and it is necessary for the spies to continue to penetrate the interior and get more information.

General Zheng Yuan pushed open the door and came out, frightened by the civil officials kneeling in front of him, what was going on?

"Your Majesty, this country can't be without a queen for a day!" A group of civil officials shouted in unison, this new emperor is twenty-five years old, and he has not yet married a wife and established a queen, and he has no heirs, how can they not worry.

A scroll of edicts was thrown out of the imperial study and thrown in front of the chief civil servant, and the edict was automatically spread out according to inertia.

This is the edict after the establishment of the edict, and only the name of one person is written on it, and the queen of the Li Kingdom will be born as these civil officials wish.

"I am now throwing the edict in front of you, and you have shown the courage of Fang Cai! Gao Lang, give all the civil officials and scholars here the four treasures. ”

Lu Chengye's voice came from the imperial study, and the civil officials kneeling on the ground did not dare to come out, and they all lowered their heads, and they were about to come into contact with the soil on the ground.

Soon one copy of the four treasures of the study, Lu Chengye's voice came out again: "Take out the courage of your talents, write a name on the edict, you dare to write, and this posterior position will no longer be suspended." ”

Half an hour has passed, and some civil officials are physically exhausted, and Gao Lang has ordered them to be sent back to their homes.

On the edict, no one has dared to pick up a brush and write a person's name on it, this is an edict on which only the Son of Heaven can write!

No matter how anxious they are about the posterior, they also know how many strokes there are in the word "life".

The sound of five knocks on the door attracted a row of kneeling civil officials, who secretly raised their heads and watched as Gao Lang's guards knocked on the door of the imperial study five times.

couldn't help frowning, with the words unknown written on their faces, and then a figure entered their peripheral vision.

It was Deputy General Xiao Changqing, who had just lost to the emperor in the ring, and it was Deputy General Xiao Changqing who made the military attaches gamble for two months and successfully lost.

Xiao Changqing just glanced at the civil official kneeling on the ground, and then walked into the imperial study, she also wanted to discuss with Lu Chengye about the opening of the country.
