"Life is not satisfactory in the world, and the Ming Dynasty spreads flat boats. ”

Ding Zhuqiang, who stood at the head of the Eight Desolation City, looked at the large territory, thought like a tide, and felt it.

"Returning to the city lord, according to the report from the reconnaissance guards, it has been discovered that Aoxing City and Baichuan City are approaching the edge of the desolate land, and it is less than a thousand miles away. According to reliable sources, the City of Ten Thousand Beasts will reach the southwest mountain area, and within five days, a joint offensive will be possible to attack the city. ”

Hearing this return from the Flying Dragon Knight, Ding Zhuqiang was even more worried and worried.

"Got it, keep detective. ”

As the lord of a city, Ding Zhuqiang had to stop waving his hand and think hard about how to defend against the enemy.

"I really didn't expect that after just over a month, the city lord of Aoxing City would join forces with the two cities so urgently. ”

Miao Changnian, who stood at the head of the city, also frowned and felt very worried.

"Baichuan City, Ten Thousand Beasts City, these two cities are relatively speaking, they are the two closest cities to the Eight Desolation City, from the topography, Aoxing City is located in the east, Baichuan City is in the north, and Ten Thousand Beasts City is in the south, from the distance alone, the closest to the Eight Desolation City is the Ten Thousand Beast City, about three thousand eight hundred li, followed by Aoxing City is about four thousand miles away, and Baichuan City is nearly five thousand miles away. ”

On the contrary, Uncle Ah Lan was more calm and calm, and he didn't know where to find a tattered and old parchment atlas, unfolded it, and pointed out that it was analyzed.

"Oh?" Ding Zhuqiang looked at it and couldn't help but ask: "From this point of view, I don't know how fast they can march?

Uncle Ah Lan muttered: "These two cities can gather troops so quickly, and have arrived at the border of the Eight Desolate Cities, not to mention that they can travel more than 100 miles a day, presumably they are all light cavalry, and the follow-up army will take time to catch up." ”

"More than 100 miles a day? Oh my God! If you put it in my world, it's a fool's dream. ”

Ding Zhuqiang secretly exclaimed, but when he thought of more than a month ago, the fire phoenix carried the three of them to the rescue of the Eight Desolate Cities. Its speed is so fast, almost 100 miles, it has arrived before dark in the evening, you can imagine, how fast?

Ding Zhuqiang immediately pointed out: "That is the case, you can't wait for their troops to come to the city before attacking, you need to think of a way, it is best to teach them to return in the realm of the flood or the southwest mountains." ”

Miao Changnian nodded and said: "This is the only way, fortunately, after more than this month, the strength of the Eight Desolation City has been expanded, and my two clans are already unharmed, so they can barely resist it." ”

"Hmm. Uncle Ah Lan agreed: "Looking at the situation of the two armies, it is obvious that they are coming to cover up and kill you and my clans, but they can't let them destroy the foundation of you and my clan." ”

Miao Changnian proposed: "In this case, then you and I are fighting for each other. ”

"Okay, just divide the army into two ways, and fight the enemy in two ways. ”

Ding Zhuqiang felt very agreed, and pointed to the two places in the atlas with both hands.

After agreeing on this, Ding Zhuqiang looked at the railing, and had to go back to the mansion first, Xu Tuliang had a good plan.

"There is a cloud in the art of war, and if you fail to cross the river, you will hit its upper stream. This time, the two armies are coming in a rage, and we have to think carefully about what strategies can be used in the thirty-six strategies?"

Until it was getting late, Ding Zhuqiang was still meditating in the hall of the mansion.

"Dinner is ready, aren't you hungry?"

In the midst of the questioning, Ruoshui walked into the hall.

"Oh!" Ding Zhuqiang came back to his senses in shock, left his seat, and said hand in hand with him: "Then let's go!"

"I've heard that the Lord of Aoxing City has come to attack, and he has invited two helpers, right?"

When he got out of the hall of the mansion, Ruoshui couldn't help but ask faintly.

"It's inevitable sooner or later. Ding Zhuqiang didn't hide it, and frowned: "Fortunately, after more than a month, the Eight Desolation City has basically returned to stability, otherwise it would be difficult to guarantee." ”

"That's just as well. Unexpectedly, Closed Moon was already waiting outside the wing, and replied: "I really didn't expect that after more than one month of you, the Eight Desolations City could develop so steadily, and even those big families in the city are full of praise for you! ”

"Of course, it's not like you haven't seen him, since he became the lord of the Eight Desolations, he has become busier and busier day by day, either personally leading people to open up wasteland and farming, or looking for mines and digging coal, and now he has established a decent ironworks!"

While Ruoshui was talking, the three of them had long been accustomed to nature, and they were like a family, and they sat at the table.

"This is also something that can't be helped! These Eight Desolate Cities can no longer be reckless, and it is necessary to enrich the people and raise soldiers, which is the long-term solution. Ding Zhuqiang said, picked up the bowl, sandwiched the dishes, and said: "Tang Taizong, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, once said: Water can carry a boat and also capsize a boat. ”

Closed Moon and Ruoshui were both shocked, and asked "What does this mean?"

Ding Zhuqiang saw that the two women had such a tacit understanding, and it seemed that they had been like sisters during the time they had been together, and he replied with a smile very happily: "The meaning is also very simple and clear, that is to say, what we eat and wear now is taken from the people, so it should also be used for the people, if we oppress them too much, we will be resisted and retaliated against by them." ”

Closed Moon turned to ask: "Ruoshui, can you understand what he means by this?"

Ruoshui shook his head and said, "I didn't understand too much, it seems to say, those civilians dare to rebel!"

"Poof!"

Ding Zhuqiang was stunned, it seems that for them, or for this human world or even the Three Realms, there has never been a case of civilians daring to rebel! Or, they have never thought about it at all......

"Alright, let's eat!"

Ding Zhuqiang didn't say much, and ate the food vigorously.

After eating, his own servants and maids cleaned up and went out of the room, and Ding Zhuqiang stood in the night, still unable to let go of the arrival of the Eight Desolation City that would suffer a catastrophe......

"Chase Qiang, are you still busy until late at night?"

Seeing Ding Zhuqiang thinking about the night, Ruoshui was full of concern and asked softly.

Ding Zhuqiang looked back, only nodded and said, "You go back to the room with the closed moon and go to sleep!"

Closed Yue immediately said: "Don't worry too much, if this Eight Desolate City really can't be saved, then follow me to the Demon Realm." With your ability to govern, you will be greatly appreciated by my father. ”

Ding Zhuqiang suddenly felt happy and asked, "What? Do you think I have managed these Eight Desolate Cities very well?" ”

"It's for all to see. At the beginning, I was not optimistic about your handling of the academy at all, but I never expected that you would really succeed. And for you to personally develop agriculture, now it seems that it is also surprisingly effective. I think that this time, the Eight Desolation City will be able to defeat the enemy. ”

"Really? Then I'll borrow your good words. ”

Ding Zhuqiang was very pleased, at least he felt that his efforts had finally been recognized. It's sweeter than any compliment......

Ding Zhuqiang turned to the pretty woman in the depression and asked, "By the way, Ruoshui, you won't blame me!"

"What can I blame you?"

Ruoshui raised his eyes and asked, a pair of shining star eyes, sparkling.

"Nope. Ding Zhuqiang moved his throat, stepped forward, took her slippery little hand like a warm jade, and said sincerely: "It's all my fault, since I took over the Eight Desolate Cities, I have been busy managing and developing the people's livelihood and economy of the Eight Desolate Cities all day long, and it has been more than a month." However, don't worry, after the Aoxing City Lord and them are gone, I will officially propose to your family and marry you. ”

"Huh?" This was heard in the ears of the closed moon who was about to turn away, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, which made her delicate body tremble, turned around violently, and immediately objected: "No, how can that be?"

Ding Zhuqiang was taken aback, because he was too involved, he noticed that there was still a closed moon beside him, but when he saw her, under the cover of the night, his delicate body trembled slightly, and he was indescribably sad and sad, so he hurriedly ran forward and took her hand and said, "Okay, if you don't wait until then, you can also worship with me." ”

"What does this seem like?" Ruoshui said, shook the hands that were holding together, and then wiped away the tears of joy that flowed from his eyes and said: "You are less stinky and beautiful, if you marry me alone, even if my brother will agree, but my mother will definitely not agree." I think you'd better repel the enemy in front of you first!"

Ding Zhuqiang had to ask: "What about you in the closed moon!"

"Hmph!" Closed Yue also wiped away her tears and snorted softly: "How can I marry you casually, at least with the permission of my father." ”

"That's okay!" Ding Zhuqiang had to sigh in his heart: "Don't worry, I will definitely send you back to the Demon Realm." I think that over the past few days, the barbarian leader and the Miao clan patriarch should have thought of a way to open the Divine Light Gate!"

"Alas......" Ruoshui only sighed softly without saying a word, and took the lead in saying: "It's not early, you go to sleep quickly!"

"Anyway, I won't allow you to marry someone else before me. Closed Moon smiled strangely, and shook his fist at Ding Zhuqiang: "Otherwise, I will definitely destroy it." ”

"Okay, then I'll do it for you tonight, raw rice is cooked and cooked, you won't care if I marry Ruoshui as a second room!"

Ding Zhuqiang immediately revealed his true nature, and hugged the closed moon tightly.

"Phew!" Closed Moon struggled to break free, smiled and said, "When you follow me to the Demon Realm and meet my father, it will naturally be as you wish." ”

Ding Zhuqiang, who was empty-handed, had to stand under the starry sky in a daze, and said with a wry smile: "I am really, obviously there are already two good wives, and there is no round house yet, but as long as it is mine, I can't run away sooner or later." ”

Ding Zhuqiang, who wanted to stop here, turned to walk straight to the bedroom where he was, get a good night's sleep, and nourish his spirits.

Not to mention, this sleep Ding Zhuqiang was particularly sweet, and also had a sweet dream, dreaming that he got his wish, married Ruoshui, closed the moon two wives like flowers and jade, blowing and blowing, in his hometown, in front of his parents, worship his parents, and finally enter the cave room......
