Chapter II
() Uncle Wang's Mansion, Study.
"Nephew Bai Xian, are you sure about this operation?" it was Linghu Yurui who spoke.
"Please rest assured, Uncle Wang, with a peerless master like the Great Elder, Li Yuxuan's kid is in a catastrophe this time!" Bai Ruofeng said with a smug face.
"But as far as I know, Li Yuxuan and all the core members of the 'homeland' now live in the royal palace of the former Carol, and the palace is heavily guarded. As for your Bai family still living in the old mansion, there is no chance to get close to Li Yuxuan at all!"
"Uncle Wang doesn't know, although Li Yuxuan's kid moved into the palace, he still often goes to Baifu to pick up Ruolan to go out to play. After my reconnaissance, I found that they most often went to a small lake outside the city, and they were usually accompanied only by Li Yuyang and more than a dozen guards. ”
"Outside the city, that's great! As long as he goes out of the city, he will be a turtle in an urn. As long as Li Yuxuan dies, the 'homeland' will definitely be torn apart!" Ling Hu Yurui said with a smile.
"Yes, when the time comes, Basr will wave his army south, and Uncle Wang will achieve immortal feats!" Bai Ruofeng hurriedly greeted him.
"Don't worry, as long as that kid dies and I occupy Feng Xiang and Carol, I will definitely not treat you badly. As for Bai Ruolan, it's up to you!"
"Thank you, Uncle Wang!"
Li Yuxuan, since that competition, you have been pressing me, so that I can't raise my head and can't breathe. This time I must let you die without a place to be buried!
Kefield, East City Gate.
"It's so cold! The snow last night was so heavy, I'm afraid this white expanse is a foot deep!"
"Isn't it, listening to the brother on duty yesterday, the snow is falling like crazy, and it doesn't stop until morning. ”
Two soldiers of the "homeland" who were in charge of opening the city gate were chatting and walking to the bottom of the castle tower, opening the city gate at the usual hour.
When they opened the two gates and pushed them aside, to their surprise, two carriages had been parked outside the city.
In such a cold early morning, who is full of food and supports, waiting for the city gate to be opened, not to be reincarnated.
The two soldiers muttered to themselves as they walked towards the two carriages, not forgetting to tighten their swords at their waists.
"What are you doing, entering the city early in the morning, are there people or things in the car?" a soldier walked to the side of the car and greeted the driver who was driving the car.
The coachman ignored him, but took out a sign from his sleeve and shook it in front of his eyes, with a pearl-encrusted "white" on it.
"It turned out to be from Baifu, please come into the city!" the soldier quickly stepped aside and made way for him.
Two carriages passed under the city gate one after another, and suddenly disappeared around the corner.
"Why don't you look at what's in the car, and let them go so lightly, aren't you afraid that the top will know about it?" another soldier muttered.
"Look at what! look at your head. Didn't you see the coachman with the sign of Baifu in his hand!"
"The sign of the White Mansion?" the soldier was obviously not awake yet, and was still in a daze.
"The old man of the family, do you hear clearly!" patted the soldier's head, he turned to look at the ruts on the ground and said softly, "What's loaded, it's so heavy that the snow has weighed down more than half a foot." ”
This day is November 29, 174 in the imperial calendar, and it was none other than Bai Ruofeng who was sitting in the driver's seat just now.
Kefield, formerly Carroll Palace.
Snowflakes fell, obscuring the splendor of the former Carol Palace.
Carol's palace covers an area that is not very large, and compared with Fengxiang's palace, it is only one-third the size of the latter, but there is one point that Fengxiang's palace cannot compare. It is the "prayer platform" in the royal palace, the platform is 13 zhang high, all made of bluestone, which can be called the highest building in the southern part of the mainland. Even the envoys of Basr, who have always admired heights, marveled at its majesty when they saw this "prayer platform".
It was built more than 50 years ago and is said to have been built by King Carol to commemorate his deceased concubine. The higher this platform is from the ground, the closer the king standing on the platform is to his heavenly concubine. But this is just a folklore, and no one knows exactly why this tall building was built. However, every spring, the king of Carol ascended to a high platform and held a prayer to heaven. But in fact, this is just an excuse for the royal family and nobles to enjoy the spring.
At this moment, the cold wind on the "prayer platform" is cold, and the snowflakes are flying, but there is a figure standing upright in the wind.
Dressed in black brocade against his slightly emaciated figure, his black hair tied back his head danced in the wind, and at his waist was a five-foot sword.
Li Yuxuan stared at the flying snow in the sky, and then glanced down at Kefield in the night, on this high platform far away from everyone, Li Yuxuan's heart seemed to be a little more desolate.
More than a year ago, he was just an ordinary teenager with no name, and although he took over a huge family business, he didn't have an inch of his own territory except for a plan in his heart. And now, there is already an empire-like vast land dominated by me, and tens of thousands of armored soldiers gallop the territory for me, but unfortunately, to complete the trial of the Dragon Ring and unify the psychedelic continent, this qiē is only the beginning. When will the trial of the dragon ring be passed?
"Dominate the world, who else will I be!" Li Yuxuan raised his hands and roared wildly.
After a long time, Li Yuxuan noticed that there was an extra person behind him.
"The head of the family!" spoke to Xu Ruoyu, the only general in the current "homeland", who is only seventeen years old this year.
"Did you hear everything?" Li Yuxuan didn't look back.
"Yes, I heard it all. Xu Ruoyu's voice was unfazed.
"Xu Ruoyu, you are the most powerful assistant, can you help me fulfill this dream?" Li Yuxuan said slowly, as if he was afraid that Xu Ruoyu would not be able to hear his words because of the whistling wind.
"I've always had a question for the head of the house. Xu Ruoyu didn't answer Li Yuxuan's words, and said to himself.
"Ask! I have long seen that you have something to talk to me about, and today is a good opportunity. ”
"Master, if one day you really realize your dream, what kind of government will you establish?
Li Yuxuan paused, turned around to face Xu Ruoyu and said, "You didn't say what you really thought in your heart!"
Xu Ruoyu nodded.
"I will not give any noble domain, I will take all the power to the center and build a centralized empire. I do not reject the existence of the aristocracy, no matter how the world changes, there will always be some people to manage the world. The future imperial nobility will enjoy money, property equal to their fiefdoms, but will not have private armies and land. As for the locality, I will choose some competent people to manage, but it will definitely not be hereditary. ”
"A big empire with centralized power. Xu Ruoyu's face was shining with excitement at the moment.
"Yes, a large centralized empire, administrative, economic, military, judicial will be managed by the central government. ”
"Family Master, for the sake of this unprecedented great empire, I am willing to dedicate my life to you!"
"Yes, we may have to spend a lifetime pursuing this dream. ”
The greatest emperor and the greatest sage in the history of the continent are the evaluations given by history to the two.
The two teenagers under the age of twenty set the trajectory of their lives at this moment, and also set the entire historical direction of the psychedelic continent.
After a long time, the two came back to their senses from the excitement and excitement, and stood side by side in the wind and snow.
"Master, I think you should consider Ruolan, her intelligence and strategy will be indispensable for you to achieve your dreams. Xu Ruoyu stared at the flying snowflakes.
Li Yuxuan bowed silently.
It was at this moment that the snow in Kefield stopped for three days.
"Perhaps, I should go to see Ruolan tomorrow!" Li Yuxuan muttered to himself, his expression was not the slightest different from that of more than a year ago.
