Now that the situation in the Emerald Sea is generally stable, and after seeing the altar of the Duke of Bones, Qianye has some confidence in the stability of the werewolves at least in front of them, leaving Carol in charge, and it can be said that it is foolproof under the reception of Valhalla.

Qianye instructed Eskar and Xu Jingxuan to step up the training of the new army, and ordered to pay attention to the surrounding movements, so there was nothing to explain.

The equipment sent by Empress Li is not very refined, and it must not be used for the development of large-scale ordinary minerals, but can only be used for the mining and smelting of rare minerals, and Xudong Island is an excellent location.

The person sent by Empress Li is also very particular, and it can be seen that he has put a lot of thought into it.

Li Wanqing is good at perception, good at investigating terrain, loves nature, and is a good prospector. I don't know why she, a beautiful girl, chose to learn this. Li Panyu studied the art of war and was determined to lead the army to fight. Qianye wants to expand his territory, and war is indispensable, this is the most suitable opportunity, but this young man has to choose to conflict with Qianye for some reason.

As for Li Panyu's true thoughts, Qianye is neither interested in delving into them, nor does she plan to get used to them. Qianye is not related to him, and his talent is not so bright that he has to be, so naturally he will not be willful to others.

So when he returned to the empire this time, Qianye brought Li Panyu with him and wanted to return him to the Li family. As for what punishment he will receive when he returns, it is not a matter of concern to Qianye.

Seeing that Qianye had moved the real fire, Father-in-law Liu couldn't fight anymore, so he honestly boarded the high-speed float boat with Qianye and returned to the empire all the way.

The float boat has the symbol of the imperial family, and it travels unhindered all the way and arrives at Qinlu smoothly.

Along the way, I encountered a total of five interception inquiries by the Imperial fleet, and I saw each other in a thousand nights, and I had a deeper understanding of the advantages of the Imperial Space Fleet. Obviously, after occupying the floating land, the Empire has gained an excellent Void Transfer Base, and the frequency of patrols of the outer space fleet has increased accordingly.

The float boat sailed into Qinlu, drove all the way to the imperial capital, and finally landed at a manor on the outskirts of the imperial capital.

The manor is quiet and elegant, the scenery is excellent, several buildings are hidden in the green trees, and on the banks of the stream, every flower and tree can see ingenuity. Even people like Qianye, who don't understand elegance, are refreshed when they see it.

However, there is a murderous intent hidden in the elegance, and Qianye feels a few vague glances, staring at him from a hidden place. These eyes are sharp but almost breathless, and they are really strong. They should be the guards of the manor, and in this way they quietly compete with outsiders like Chiya.

On a normal day, this kind of peeping will definitely anger the person being watched, but if you don't notice it, or can't find the person who is peeping, that's another matter.

Qianye seemed to be enjoying the scenery, but inadvertently, his eyes lingered in a few places. In the blink of an eye, those peeping glances disappeared without a trace, apparently they didn't expect Qianye to find out where they were so quickly.

Father-in-law Liu's eyes flashed with surprise, and he immediately remained silent, and said with a smile: "The weather has been a little stuffy these days, and Niangniang is tired of staying in the palace, so I came here to relax." You happened to arrive in the imperial capital at this time, so Niangniang ordered you to meet here. ”

Qianye nodded and said, "My father-in-law is tired of leading the way." ”

Gonggong Liu took Qianye all the way through flowers and willows, came to the front of the main courtyard, stopped at the gate of the courtyard, and said: "Niangniang is inside, and the adults can go in by themselves." ”

Qianye didn't feel the aura of a strong man in the courtyard, so he pushed the door and entered.

A soft and glutinous voice came from the courtyard: "You are here, bring the door shut." ”

Qianye closed the courtyard door as he said, bypassed the photo wall, and came to the courtyard. There is a small pond in the courtyard, and there are several lotus plants growing in the pond, and the tail tail swimming fish are shuttling under the lotus. There was a beautiful woman standing by the pool, holding a wooden box, and sprinkling fish food into the pool with a silver spoon.

A small silver spoon is probably enough for one fish. However, she was not in any hurry, nor was the fish in the water, and wandered leisurely in that little world, and came to eat any of them when they were close.

The wooden box is not big, and the spoon is smaller, so I don't know what year or month I will feed it if I continue like this. But her movements were soft and light, and her every move was so pleasing to the eye, and Qianye was just watching quietly from the side, not showing the slightest impatience.

I don't know how long it took, the fish food in the wooden box finally bottomed out, she handed the wooden box to the maid on the side, looked up and smiled, and said to Qianye: "You are so patient." ”

She is Empress Li, and when she smiled, she instantly seemed to make the entire courtyard a little brighter. Qianye didn't dare to look more, turned his eyes to the ground, and said, "Whoever is here will have a good patience." ”

Empress Li smiled lightly and said, "Of course not, those people are just pretending to be patient, and they don't know what they are thinking." You're different, you're just watching me feed the fish. ”

This sounded a little awkward, and Qianye couldn't help but explain: "I see that Niangniang's every move is faintly in line with Tianji Dao, so I think about it carefully, and I don't mean to offend." ”

Empress Li waved her hand and said, "Don't be so careful, in the future, you can relax with me and treat it as your own home." ”

Qianye didn't answer this, so he immediately said, "How can this be?"

Empress Li sat down in the chair, resting her hand lightly on the table next to her, her five fingers stretched and rolled like an orchid, rolled and opened, looked at Qianye, seemed to be smiling, and said: "I have heard everything about you in Yonglu, it seems that many people underestimate your strength!"

"I've just gained a foothold in Yonglu. ”

"It doesn't matter if you've just established yourself or if you've already expanded your territory. Intelligence from all sides shows that you have just entered Zheng Guo. According to common sense, it will not develop so quickly. But I always feel that this is not your style, maybe there are already 100,000 troops under your command, right?"

With the strength of Qianye, the blood core couldn't help but jump a little faster. This is a very subtle change, but I don't know if Empress Li can feel it. Qianye quickly controlled her emotions and said, "Niangniang is in love, I want to have an army of 100,000." ”

Empress Li smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't have it now, just have it as soon as possible." If Zheng Guo is swallowed, there will probably be 100,000 troops. You may not know that the recent development of Yonglu has entered the eyes of those big people in the court. ”

Qianye was a little surprised, "How many big things are there in the empire every day, how can they care about such a small thing?"

"This is not a small matter, Zheng Guo has a prince who ran to the empire, pretends to be orthodox, and is asking the empire for help. Zheng Guo is nominally our subject country anyway, but now it is controlled by outsiders, and his face is always not good-looking. ”

Qianye frowned and said, "He is not the only vassal of the empire, and this Zheng Guo doesn't seem to have fulfilled many obligations. In addition, Zheng Wang and his family have been accustomed to infighting for many years and do not want to forge ahead, which is really a bit unusual. This Zheng Guo is not naturally theirs. ”

"You have a point. But you can't say that in the court, otherwise someone will ask, isn't this Qin Lu naturally supposed to be Yongzhen by Your Majesty?"

This is sensitive. Qianye's heart froze, and she didn't know what Empress Li was going to say next.

Li Hou said: "In fact, everyone who understands knows that although the world is big, only the virtuous live in it. No one is born with a destiny. If it weren't for the martial arts of Taizu Wuzu who was the best in the world, it would be difficult to say whether the surname of this empire was Ji or not. Even now, if it weren't for His Majesty's years of forbearance and penance, I am afraid that the Immortal King would still be making waves now. Then the emperor's country is really unstable. Those old guys blindly shy away from medical treatment, not so much to be loyal to the empire, but to use it as an excuse to suppress dissent. ”

Empress Li said this directly, Qianye was quite hesitant in her heart, and she didn't know how to answer, so she only nodded yes.

Empress Li glanced at him and said angrily: "I'll talk to you in my heart, but you are sloppy with me." Didn't you think that your wings were stiff now, and I couldn't hold you anymore, did I?"

Qianye was busy and didn't dare.

Empress Li's face looked a little better, took a sip of tea, and said, "I said this, it's not for nothing. Some time ago, a few old guys openly said, after all, you are a blood clan, and you are expanding your territory in Yonglu, whose territory are you opening up, and whose territory are you expanding?"

Qianye's face changed slightly, and he couldn't help but have murderous intent in his eyes. This is really too damning, if such a statement creates a momentum, maybe he just doesn't want to, and he will be forced to stand against the empire.

Empress Li didn't speak at the moment, just watched Qianye quietly.

Qianye took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "I don't understand, what good is it for them to force me to the eternal night?"

"That's a lot of benefits. What's more, they don't mean to force you away, but more to those who are willing to speak for you. ”

Qianye took a deep breath and said in a cold voice, "Zhao Valve?"

"Now it's not just Zhao Valve, but also one more Zhang Valve. ”

"Zhang Valve?" Qian Ye was puzzled, he didn't remember any friendship with Zhang Valve, the only intersection was after the Battle of Baicheng, chatting with King Qingyang for a while.

"At the Imperial Meeting, when you were discussed, King Qingyang suddenly spoke, saying that you have made great contributions in the battle of Fulu Baicheng. Now that the flames of war are gone, we must take action against the heroes, which will inevitably chill the hearts of the people of the world. He denounced the courtier's righteous name of false dawn and eternal night as harboring evil intentions, or at least pedantic. King Qingyang is in the limelight now, he put down such a sentence, and no one dared to continue to hold on to it at that time. At least for now, you don't have to worry about running into Imperial crusaders. ”

Qianye thought for a while and said, "That being the case, wouldn't it be criticized for the Niangniang who gave me those supplies at this time?"

Empress Li chuckled and said, "I also ordered the fleet to set off after the Japanese and Korean meetings. I didn't want to hide it, so there should be a lot of people who know about it. As for what others think, that's someone else's business. Anyway, even if it's okay, they'll imagine a bunch of conspiracies. It's also good that I'll make some plans to keep them busy. ”

When Qianye heard this, she always felt a little strange, and she couldn't help frowning slightly.

Empress Li said it lightly, but in fact, King Qingyang and Empress Li stood on the side of Qianye one after another. Others will not think that Qianye has such value, but will only understand that there is a tacit understanding between the Li family and Zhang Valve. The Li family's current upward momentum is extremely strong, and it is rumored that the side line is even more of an unborn genius, and the future promotion is almost a certainty.

The Heavenly King Gate Valve and the current descendants, this is tantamount to an alliance between the two valves, which is a big deal for the entire empire.

Qianye knew that he was not good at political disputes, and he was outside the empire, so he did not have a good grasp of the situation in the Great Qin Temple, although he hesitated in his heart, he was silent and waited for the following.

When Empress Li saw it, he put away his smile and said, "Qianye, I invite you to come over this time, firstly, to thank you, and secondly, to ask for something else." ”
