"Your Majesty, Prince Xue Ren seems to have been on a frantic procurement spree lately, most of which are some food and improvised tents for sleeping in the wilderness. Nara stood at the very top of the palace with the king, from which he could see all the surrounding towns, and if you looked at it well, even the ruins of the wilderness farther away.

"Then do you know the purpose of his doing these things?" the king just looked to the east, where was the location of the mission he had assigned to Xue Ren.

The old slave really couldn't guess for a while, judging from the amount purchased by His Highness, it seemed that he was preparing to go on a long journey. And at least 30,000 people traveled far away......"

The king smiled, "And you don't know, didn't you already guess his purpose?" ”

"It's just that the old slave really can't understand what the use of these materials can be even if they are handed over to those people, there is no suitable land for survival in the wild. When the food is eaten, they still can't get rid of the end of death in the end. ”

"But what if there is any land that has not yet been discovered?" said the king, "the position of pathfinder has been gone for more than ten years, and how much do we know about the situation outside. ”

But even so, the old slave felt that it was not worth it to give the grain to the remnants. ”

"It may not be worth it in your opinion, but Xue Ren, this kid after all, you also know that you always like to have naïve dreams. And as a father, no matter how innocent the child's dreams are, no matter how good I am, I wake him up so cruelly. At the very least, he has to understand that only then can he really grow. ”

"Does the old slave need to send someone to help secretly?"

"No, don't you also say he's just wasting it. Just let him toss it himself, I will only watch from the sidelines, no matter how far he can go this time, he is still qualified, how can I hand over the country to someone else's hands. The king picked up the scepter and turned away, "Is there already a noble operation in the royal city at this time?"

"Some of the children of the nobility are already a little unbearable. ”

The king had long expected all this, and the expression on his face was still very calm: "What about the descendants of the noble three princes? What about Master Yin, I have heard a lot of news, and it seems that he has the ability to replace Xue Ren as the new king." ”

"Yin Shi, the grandson of Yin Gong, didn't hear about any unusual behavior from him, and still read books, practiced swords, watched dances and listened to music as usual. Life is so restless."

"A comfortable life is more fierce than a beast. The king could not help but sigh that when he was young, he was only an ordinary boy. At that time, I was also living a life that I thought was comfortable and comfortable.

"The old slave didn't think so, since everyone said that Master Yin had the ability to replace His Royal Highness Xue Ren, he must have something extraordinary. It's just that we don't know very much about it yet. ”

"These nobles, relying on their own backers, it's really hard to guess, if this king met with an accident that day, whether this group of people can respect Xue Ren as the king, I'm afraid that they will be self-reliant and the king at that time, and Longhui will have an opportunity to take advantage of it. ”

"Why did Your Majesty say these words, when the new fire is successfully refined, I am afraid that at that time, there will not be any nobles in the city who dare to be presumptuous and disrespectful. At that time, how could Long Hui, who had lost the protection of Pu Demon, be the opponent of our army. ”

The king nodded, "Yes, I just don't know if Xue Ren will understand this truth." Only after the land here has been pacified can you be qualified to cross the sea. ”

The king looked at Nara and wondered, "Have you ever heard that there is a sea in the distance on the outer wall?"

The old slave had never heard of it, and he had heard from the soldiers who had returned from the snowfield that he had walked through the snow, and had seen a huge black shadow under the frozen lake at the end. Nara also shook his head: "There is no mention of a flowing sea in the world, nor in any ancient book." ”

But he said that he saw the sea, and therefore he had to cross it. The king clenched the scepter in his hand, "Or is this kid really capable of surpassing my current exploits?" ”

"Your Majesty, please forgive the old slave for being rude, according to the old slave, His Royal Highness Xue Ren is a little more heroic than when His Majesty was young, although he is always intoxicated with wine and pleasure, but from the minister's observation of His Highness, His Highness has done a very beautiful job every time he deals with things, and never leaves any trouble. Nara thought of the time when he was with the king, the Marquis of Xue Wu, when he was already the leader of a team of 3,000 men.

After that, he followed Wuhou to pacify the civil strife in Xinghua, and even used the method of land division to completely stabilize the Xinghua Kingdom, which was constantly fighting.

In the following years, Longhui raised troops and wanted to take advantage of the time when the Xinghua Civil War had not yet recuperated, but they were all repelled by Wuhou himself, and they occupied a large area of Longhui's territory. The capital was not Xinghua's territory until Marquis Wu designated it as the imperial city.

"That's just what you see, besides, he's a prince in the capital, who would dare to be disrespectful to him?" the king shook his head and smiled bitterly, "What kind of person can he go without this identity?" ”

"But don't forget, Your Majesty, it's no longer the time of the city turmoil. It is almost impossible for ordinary people to come out on top. ”

"Indeed, this is a problem. It's also a blessing that I came from an ordinary family to get to where I am now, but now there are many talents who have no chance to get ahead because of the rules of my momentary luck...... When the new fire is quenched, all this will change. ”

"The old slave believes that the day that His Majesty expects will come. "Nara and the king walked back to the main hall, and the guards had prepared lunch for the king, and the vegetables and rice were no different from the citizens of the city.

The only difference may be that the place where Wuhou eats is a little more empty, and only Nara is by his side, which is somewhat indifferent.

"Your Highness, we have already emptied all the granaries in Dongcheng, what more do we need to buy now?" he leaned against the carriage full of rice, and the whole street was full of grain shops, but now they were empty. Maybe there are still a few grains of rice in the cracks of the rice warehouse.

"If you don't have it, there's no more, how much is that?"

"I think it's enough for 30,000 people to feed for a week. "Look at the notebook in your hand," there are many accounts densely packed on it. ”

"Let's go, go buy some tents, yesterday's ones are not enough for 50,000 people. ”

"Your Highness...... Xiang Xiang hesitated, "I'm afraid we won't be able to buy a tent." ”

"How?"

"You've run out of money"

"And what about the half of the money taken out of the military pay?"

"It also took three-quarters of ......"
