The Five Congresses ended in a relatively calm atmosphere.

After the end, the people of the other four countries returned to the post house where they were temporarily staying.

Shen Run did not follow the ministers back to the post house of Longxi Kingdom, but went straight to Chenguang's carriage and followed Chenguang to the post house of Feng Ming Kingdom.

Back at the post house, Shen Run entered the main room first and sat on the couch where he often sits.

"I heard that Cangqiu Country is going to raise the price of timber for Chiyang Country." Chenguang sat aside with the big cat in his arms and said.

"Hmm." Shen Run replied lightly, he was a little absent-minded, as if he was thinking about something else.

"You know?" Chenguang asked suspiciously.

"Yes." Shen Run gave a positive answer, paused, looked at her and said, "It is rumored that the Cangqiu Kingdom is secretly sending troops to the border, and the Chiyang Kingdom is not to be outdone, the weapons workshop has all been relocated to the border, and in order to fight the Cangqiu Kingdom, a large number of new firearms have been made. ”

Chenguang was slightly stunned and frowned: "Really? Is the message reliable? ”

"Eighty percent true."

"There is a Yanyun country between Cangqiu and Chiyang countries, if these two countries really fight, isn't Yanyun Country the main battlefield?"

Shen Run said "um", he smiled and said: "Yanyun Country is also unlucky, it is as empty as a mountain of wealth, but it may be turned into a battlefield by other countries at any time. ”

Chenguang fell into deep thought, paused, and asked with a smile: "If Cangqiu Kingdom and Chiyang Kingdom really fight, which side will Long Xiguo help?" ”

"Either side won't help."

"Really?" Chenguang smiled and said, "Judging from the current situation, if it really starts, the Chiyang Kingdom may be better, if the Chiyang Kingdom really annexes the Cangqiu Kingdom, the Yanyun Kingdom is equivalent to the Chiyang Kingdom, and at that time, the Chiyang Kingdom occupies the Cangqiu Country and approaches the border of the Longxi Kingdom, what are you going to do at that time?" ”

"Three-legged, the situation is not easy to break. If what you said comes true, the Chiyang Kingdom itself will go to Half-Life, and the territorial expansion in the later period will be too great, which may not be a good thing. Shen Run replied lightly.

Chenguang was slightly stunned, thought about it, and flattened his lips.

"By the way," Shen Run thought for a while, came back to his senses, and suddenly asked, "I heard that you donated 50,000 taels of silver to the two nurseries in Yicheng, and the person behind those two nurseries is Princess Yingwu?" ”

"You can remove the last sentence and say as if I went to donate money because those two nurseries were opened by Princess Yingwu." Chenguang said unhappily with his lips flattened.

"Then why do you suddenly want to donate money?"

"Of course, it's because I like children." Chenguang smiled brightly and replied as a matter of course.

Shen Run sat on the chair and looked straight at her, and then he raised his eyebrows: "Really?" ”

He stood up, turned and walked out.

Chenguang was stunned, he came and went suddenly, and she was a little confused: "Are you leaving?" ”

Shen Run paused, turned around, glanced at her, and said with a smile: "You want me to stay?" Do you want to stay with you to have children? ”

The morning light was dumb.

"Let's go." She pursed her lips.

Shen Run smiled, picked up the silk coat and went out.

Xiao Run, he must have something important tonight, otherwise he wouldn't leave, Chenguang thought in his heart, but what is the matter?

……

The next day, the Fifth National Assembly officially began.

At the meeting, it was really Cangqiu Country and Chiyang Country that were thorny in the-for-tat sentences, and other countries did not intervene in the matter of the seizure of the Cangqiu Caravan in the Chiyang Country and the intention of the Cangqiu State to increase the price of timber for various reasons.

Feng Mingguo was obedient and humble, and almost did not speak at the meeting, obediently watching the Chiyang Kingdom and the Cangqiu Kingdom red-eared at the meeting.

Empress Dowager Gu was not so much restrained, but that she was very cautious when she participated in this kind of meeting for the first time, she did not speak, and listened quietly. Cangqiu Guo's speech all relied on Gu Shun, the elder brother of the Empress Dowager Gu, Gu Shun was born as a military general, with a violent temper, his voice was like a bell, and he kept shouting loudly, pressing on Chiyang Country step by step, completely refusing to back down, and almost fighting with the general of Chiyang Kingdom.

Yan Ying let Gu Shun jump up and down, without stopping it, as if it was none of her business.

This Five Kingdoms was not only a dispute over the seizure of caravans and the timber trade, but also another matter between the Chiyang Kingdom and the Cangqiu Kingdom, which she had never heard of at all.

The Chiyang Kingdom and the Cangqiu Kingdom are fighting over a countryless and ownerless volcanic group in the east of the Yanyun Country, which covers a vast area and is huge in number. It is said that the army of the Chiyang Kingdom has stationed troops in the volcanic group despite the opposition of the Cangqiu Kingdom, and unilaterally claims that the volcanic group is the territory of the Chiyang Kingdom.

However, through the study of ancient historical books, Cangqiu Country insisted that the volcanic group had always been the territory of Cangqiu Country and had nothing to do with Chiyang Country, and that Chiyang Country's behavior was tantamount to a bandit.

The two countries are fighting each other.

Chenguang didn't understand why the two countries would compete for the volcanic group that had been silent for many years, until Shen Run told her after the meeting that a large amount of sulfur ore had been found in that volcanic group, and the estimated scale was probably the largest sulfur mine found on the Xuantian Continent so far.

The use of sulfur ore is very wide, and for a country, the greatest role of sulfur ore is undoubtedly used to make firearms. In the past two years, the firearms of Cangqiu have been able to compete with Chiyang country, and it is no wonder that Cangqiu country and Chiyang country have to compete for that sulfur mine.

Once the sulfur mine is in hand, it is very likely that the Cangqiu Kingdom will take the first army of the Chiyang Kingdom after the copper mine, and seal the arrogant and arrogant Chiyang Kingdom dust into the old time and replace it.

The ambition of the Cangqiu Kingdom is not small, and the Chiyang Kingdom will naturally not allow it, so the Chiyang Kingdom takes the lead in stationing troops.

Cangqiu still didn't dare to fight with Chiyang in terms of military strength, so this unsolvable scramble was brought to the Five Kingdoms, Cangqiu wanted to win the support of other countries, as long as the other countries were on their side, Chiyang would not dare to act rashly even if they were arrogant and arrogant.

The same is true of the Chiyang Kingdom, the Chiyang Kingdom is not afraid of the Cangqiu Country, the Chiyang Kingdom wants to unite with several other countries to isolate the Cangqiu Country, so that the Cangqiu Kingdom can understand what reality is, and put away the wolf ambitions that are beyond their strength.

To put it bluntly, this five-nation conference is actually a game between two big countries, and the other countries that seem to be weak chickens in these two countries have a role in the five countries in addition to onlookers, and the rest is to choose a good team to stand in line.

However, none of the three weak chicken countries officially expressed their position, at most, they shut up after a very official persuasion, and the Feng Lord of the Phoenix Kingdom began to secretly doze off in the middle of the Five Kingdoms, and in the second half of the country, she fell asleep completely and became blatant, but no one woke her up.

On the second day of the unhappiness of the Cangqiu Kingdom and the Chiyang Kingdom of the Five Kingdoms, Chenguang received an invitation sent by the Chiyang Emperor, inviting her to go to the Butterfly Valley on the outskirts of the city in the afternoon to visit the lake.

Chenguang had no interest in visiting the lake, but after thinking about it, he still agreed to Emperor Chiyang's invitation.

In the afternoon, Emperor Chiyang enthusiastically sent a carriage to pick her up, and Chenguang boarded the carriage of Chiyang Kingdom and set off for Butterfly Valley on the outskirts of the city.

Butterfly Valley, as the name suggests, is a valley full of grass and wildflowers, and there are many butterflies in the valley, hence the name.

Emperor Chiyang sat on the verdant hillside drinking tea, with guards all over the mountains and fields, and a dazzling array of palace maids.

Chenguang thought to herself, it is really the leader of a big country, she can't compare.
