Chapter 50: Urgent!
It was a silent morning, silent in all directions, and the rising sun was shining warmly on the world.
Suddenly, a rapid sound of horses' hooves sounded from a distance, and I saw a guard in shoulder armor holding a token in one hand and firmly pulling the reins in the other to ride the horse quickly, and shouting "Urgent, urgent", and no one dared to stop him wherever he went.
Xia Min already knew about this before the emergency report arrived, and in the early hours of this morning, Bing condensed her blood and touched her bedroom blindly, which scared her at the time, and she thought there was an assassin.
When she lit the lamp, Bing Ning stopped, and she said, "Min'er, don't light the lamp, I don't want you to see me like this......"
The sound was haggard like never before.
"Bingbing, what's wrong with you?"
What happened? To make such a proud and strong person so vulnerable?
"Miao Jiang...... Conquered the daughter country, my mother and the emperor...... sacrificed. The Mother Queen was thinking about me until she died, and she sent a group of Deadpools from her to look for me to protect me, but I ...... I didn't even see her for the last ......."
What the?! Miao Jiang actually attacked the daughter country! I still remember that Bingning came to her once a few days ago, saying that she felt a little wrong, and her mother would communicate with her every once in a while to confirm her safety, but she hadn't received a letter for a long time recently. At that time, she thought about the plot in the book, her daughter was in turmoil in the country, and the time was about to pass, so she comforted her and said that the queen might have forgotten and asked her not to worry.
As a result, I didn't expect to be wiped out, but it's okay! This matter is too strange, most of it is from Xia Yi!
"You calm down first, don't worry, you first explain what the situation is now?"
"Mother's Deadpool said that it was our country's prince Feng Ci and Miao Jiang who should cooperate with each other, and Miao Jiang occupied the daughter country without much effort, and now Feng Ci is the regent prince to assist Miao Jiang in managing the daughter country."
"And how many people do you have on your hands now?"
"A group of Deadpools of the Mother Emperor, and more than a hundred Praetorian Guards. That's almost two hundred. ”
"Min'er, I really appreciate your help and taking you in during this time, I have recognized your sister! It's just that this might be the last time we'll see each other...... I'm here to say goodbye today. ”
"You want to go back to your daughter's country?"
"Since I am a human daughter and a princess, I have no reason to turn a blind eye to the hatred of killing my mother and destroying the country......
"Ning Bing," Xia Min called out her real name this time, "don't be carried away by hatred, just what can you do with the two hundred people now?" Not to mention revenge, I guess you won't even see that Feng Ci's face. ”
Bing Ning Oh no, it should be called Ning Bing now, Ning Bing was hoarse, full of despair. "So what can I do? I'm ...... now Cornered. ”
"Have you forgotten that we are sisters? It's your sister, I'll definitely help! The premise is that you calm down first. ”
Hearing this, Ning Bing's beautiful eyes immediately flashed with a scorching light, which was especially obvious in this dark room. She looked at Xia Min tightly like grasping the last straw: "Min'er, really? Will you really help me? ”
Xia Min also looked back at her firmly, "Yes. I will definitely help you. You let me think about how to do it first. ”
"Okay, okay, then you can rest first, I won't bother you."
Then, as if he was afraid of disturbing her, he left quickly.
The room was quiet again, and Xia Min silently sorted out her thoughts.
Alas, it looks like she'll have to find a time to go to the Prince's Mansion.
Sheng Fan has also been here a few times since she moved to the new mansion, but she has avoided it every time. Since she broke his heart last time, she always felt that she was weird when she faced Sheng Fan, and she didn't want to contact him.
Alas, it's really a middle-aged person who has reached the point of betraying his hue.
The time returned to early in the morning, and the urgent report was quickly delivered to the palace, and an emergency meeting was held in the court.
The emperor listened to the soldier's report with a calm face.
"Emperor Qiqi, Miao Jiang was quiet for a while after the last change, and then suddenly moved again two days ago, and occupied the daughter country in one fell swoop, and it only took seven days to make the speed, it is said that ...... It was because of the daughter of the prince Feng Ci and Miao Jiang secretly communicating with each other. ”
The court exploded with a "swish", and all the courtiers immediately discussed, with horror on their faces.
Tiansheng, Miao Jiang, and the three countries of the daughter country have always been on par with each other, and now that the daughter country was unexpectedly annexed by Miao Jiang, what else can they Tiansheng have to compete with? Isn't it going to be slaughtered?
At this time, the prince suddenly stepped forward.
"Father, the son of the emperor has invited troops many times at the beginning, but you were once persuaded by the second brother to come down, I don't know what to do with the current situation, what can the second brother do?"
When the panicked ministers heard that the culprit was the second prince, they immediately looked at the man in white standing in front with condemnation.
The emperor frowned, "This matter was already very important at the beginning, how could the second prince decide it alone." Now that the matter has happened, you should think more about how to solve it if you have the time. ”
Meaning, I decided, what's wrong?
Seeing that the emperor was so blatantly defending Sheng Fan, the whispering was much quieter, and only the prince lowered his head, his face was full of resentment, and there was a trace of vicious light in his eyes.
I didn't expect things to come to this point, and he still maintained that wild seed like this! is also a son, why does he treat him so differently? This has been true since childhood! Isn't he his own son? Since he treated himself like this, no wonder he no longer treats him as a father!
After the ministers discussed for a while, Prime Minister Su Cheng took a step forward, "Your Majesty, the ministers think that more people should be stationed in the frontier and take adequate precautions. ”
Another old minister also stepped forward, "I have been in peace for a hundred years, and there are many men among the people, so it's time for them to serve under the protection of Tiansheng." ”
"There are also soldiers who have to keep up with the expansion of silver taels, and at present the tax we pay to the people is 20%, and the minister thinks that it can be increased to 40%."
As soon as the ideas were opened, everyone started the brainstorming mode, but everything discussed remained the same.
In the end, the emperor ordered to recruit troops and horses, and after raising the tax by 20%, he scattered the court with a headache.
After the dispersal, the prince looked eagerly around, and then saw a certain black figure and quickly chased after him.
"Young Master Xia, what a coincidence, you are also here."
There is only one in the court, where is he not here?
"Something, say."
"Uh...... Say it here? ”
Sheng Ming glanced at the crowds of people around him.
"Have you ever heard of the Great Hidden City? Don't worry, today is special, and others won't care if you talk to me. ”
Hearing him say this, Sheng Ming found that because of such a big incident today, basically every minister got together in twos and threes to whisper, and the two of them were really not abrupt. Then he cautiously spoke: "I don't know what the young master told me last time...... Can it still be done now? ”
