675 - Guansheng Taifu
What the empress said, how can Wang Xiaolai not know in his heart?
After all, he is in a dream, no, it should be said that he has seen with his own eyes the strength of the Holy Monarch that can destroy the world with his every move.
Although Yuluo City is modest, to be honest, Wang Xiaolai really doesn't think there is a way to defeat the Holy Monarch.
If it is said that according to the score, assuming that the strength of Yuluo City is one hundred, and Li Baiyi, who fought a tie with him, is also one hundred, then Yu Qingxi, who is slightly stronger than both of them, is even one hundred, then in this case, the strength of the Holy Monarch is afraid that it is above two hundred.
Of course, this is all speculated from the words of Yuluo City, Wang Xiaolai himself.
If you just look at the data that Wang Xiaolai personally guessed, then the Holy Monarch doesn't look very powerful, but when it comes to fighting, not one plus one can equal two.
If you put two small children together, you can't beat an adult, that's the gap.
Do you want to repeat what happened 10,000 years ago and stab the heart of the Holy Monarch with the snake sword, is this just a joke?
Thinking of this, Wang Xiaozi shook his head.
Empress: "??? โ
"Xiao Laizi, no matter how powerful the Inhumans are, you shouldn't show such an expression, you are now, but the general of Sui Yang is the pillar of Sui Yang, if you fight timidly first, then the Inhumans will go south in a year, and you won't have to fight." The Empress said quietly.
Wang Xiaolai smiled: "Your Majesty, I know this, I just feel it." โ
The empress snorted.
Neither spoke.
"By the way, who knows about this?" The empress asked suddenly.
"I didn't dare to tell too many people, when Yuluo City said this, only Yuqing Evil, Li Baiyi, the Eighth Prince and I knew that now, there is one more Your Majesty."
"In other words, only the six of us know about the Inhuman?" The Empress asked.
Wang Xiaolai nodded: "Yes." โ
The empress pinched her chin and pretended to be relaxed: "Since this is the case, this matter cannot be made public for the time being, otherwise, I am afraid that the hearts of the people below will be confused." โ
Wang Xiaolai said: "I think so too, it's best to tell the news after we have a fight with the Inhumans, because we won, so in the hearts of the people, they will not be so afraid of this unknown race." Otherwise, there would be no way to fight this battle at all. โ
"That being said, we must also win this first battle by an overwhelming margin."
"There is gunpowder, and it shouldn't be a problem to hit the stranger by surprise."
Wang Xiaolai said.
The empress looked at the serious Wang Xiaolai and suddenly smiled.
Wang Xiaolai was stunned for no reason: "What's the matter, Your Majesty?" โ
The empress smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just suddenly thought that there is still nearly a year before the strangers go south, let's talk about this now, it's a little far." โ
Wang Xiaolai also smiled: "Alas, it's all because the truth that Yuluocheng told me was too shocking, otherwise, I wouldn't be like this." โ
The empress snorted: "The key now is to build the Saibei Corridor, what excuse is it good, if you are a little careless, it is easy to make the people feel uneasy, after all, the grasslands have been wiped out, what are you doing to build a fortress?" โ
Wang Xiaolai sighed: "Yes..."
The empress said: "If it really doesn't work, I will be a monarch who is so happy, although I will be scolded, but it is better than not being prepared." โ
Wang Xiaolai said: "Then how can it be done, Your Majesty, rest assured that there is no monarch in Sui Yang who is very happy, only a sycophantic general." โ
The empress looked at Wang Xiaolai with a smile: "You guy, that's okay, I'll leave this matter to you, as for the silver and two strengths, if there is anything missing, tell me." โ
Wang Xiaolai said with a smile: "No need Your Majesty, after solving Zhao Sui, I still left a lot of his property, originally I thought that these properties would not be used anymore, but now it's okay, just in handy." โ
The empress's face turned red: "But all that silver is..."
"What's wrong?"
"No, no."
The empress hurriedly waved her hand, followed closely, she looked up and said: "By the way, although I have allowed you to be responsible for this matter, you also have to recover from your injuries, your general's mansion has also been burned by Feng Qingyun, if you go back to Foxconn to live, it is inevitable that there will be thieves who will attack you?" โ
"You live in the palace, and your sister Hongxiang is recuperating together in the palace."
Wang Xiaolai sighed: "It's not Your Majesty, it's not good." โ
The empress smiled: "How is it bad?" โ
"Hongxiang is okay, she is a woman, she lives in the palace to recuperate or something, and she is fine, I can't do it."
"If you can't do anything, I just say it's okay. If you don't live in the palace, how can Li Baiyi rest assured that Hongxiang is recuperating in the palace? Li Baiyi didn't enter the palace, why did I ask him for help? The empress said.
"Your Majesty, the old sword immortal, he is now exhausted."
"The power is gone, and I didn't say anything about letting him help me solve any troubles? I'm just going to make him an instructor, responsible for instructing the Dark Guard and the Feather Forest Army's internal guards, so that they can deal with the Inhuman battle in a year's time, why, isn't this okay? The empress looked at Wang Xiaolai and said.
Wang Xiaolai: "ยทยทยท"
The empress also said that although Li Baiyi said that he did not have the strength to dominate the world, he still kept his experience and moves in mind, and if Li Baiyi agreed, he could really help a lot.
Thinking of this, Wang Xiaolai nodded: "Okay, I'll talk to the old sword fairy about this." โ
The empress snorted: "By the way, when I came, I had already asked Mulan and Jiuchai to go to the divine doctor, originally just wanted to treat Hongxiang, and by the way, to curry favor with Li Baiyi, but now it's okay, you are also injured, and it just so happens that you and Hongxiang are companions." โ
"Your Majesty, am I really going?"
Seeing the empress's glaring, Wang Xiaolai hurriedly closed his mouth and stopped talking.
"Go, go, I didn't say no."
Only then did the empress turn her smile.
ยทยทยท
In the middle of March, the empress finally returned to the court after being away from Beijing for two months.
As soon as she returned to the court, she did something that everyone didn't expect, but it was reasonable.
The general Wang Xiaolai, together with his personal maid Hongxiang, was invited to live in the palace to recuperate from his injuries.
As soon as this incident came out, all the officials were shocked, but at the same time, they secretly wondered, did His Majesty do this, is it a disguised announcement of the matter with the general Wang Xiaolai?
Although Wang Xiaolai had also stayed in the palace before, it was different in nature after all.
At that time, although the big guys knew about it, His Majesty did not admit it to his face.
But you see, now, all the decrees have been decreed.
Moreover, the General's Mansion was also rebuilt as the Taifu Mansion.
Yes, in the first battle of the grassland, the general Wang Xiaolai stole thousands of miles of home, made great contributions, and was promoted to Taifu.
It was the fifth year of the Apocalypse.
From the second year of the Apocalypse when Wang Xiaolai appeared in everyone's sight, to now, that is, in four years, Wang Xiaolai has gone from a small Yulin Lang to a man under one person and above ten thousand people.
It can be said that in terms of official positions, the Eight Sages King and Liu Maolin, who are also the three giants of the imperial court, are not as good as Wang Xiaolai.
The empress and Wang Xiaolai seemed to have discussed to frighten everyone, and Wang Xiaolai, who had just become a Taifu, issued a military order through the identity of Taifu.
His original words are like this, although there are no more enemies in Suiyang, but still not slack, I decided to build fortifications all over Suiyang, with the Saibei Corridor as the first test point.
The order was given, and the whole country was in an uproar.
The length of the Saibei promenade spans Youzhou, and it also occupies half of the state, with a total length of 700 miles.
Although it is said that there are many places in the 700-mile Saibei Corridor that cannot be climbed by lofty mountains, the actual length, that is, the Youzhou Pass bordering the grassland, is nearly 100 miles long. However, if it is to be built according to the standard of Wang Xiaolai's height of ten zhang and thickness of four zhang, it is not a small project.
Moreover, Wang Xiaolai had to build the six-hundred-mile corridor in the steep mountains to a height of five zhang.
It's not what is it that burns more money?
It is precisely because of this that when the order was first issued, many officials, especially the Shaofu, who was in charge of the national treasury, were the most vehemently opposed.
But these objections, after Wang Xiaozi paid out of his pocket, completely disappeared.
