Kyoto of the Northern Wei Dynasty, inside the council hall.

Emperor Wei Wendi sat on the dragon chair, his face was very ugly, and he was holding a battle report in his hand.

And the civil and military officials of the Northern Wei Dynasty lowered their heads and did not speak.

After a long time, Emperor Wei Wen, who was in his fifties, sighed and slowly spoke: "The 300,000 army was wiped out, Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu became prisoners, more than ten years, my Northern Wei has never had such a big failure, you all tell me what to do?" ”

This......

Listening to Emperor Wei Wendi's words, the officials looked at each other.

"Your Majesty, the old minister feels that we should continue to send troops, although we lost this time, but because of our own carelessness and underestimation of the enemy, once our strongest army in the Northern Wei Dynasty strikes, Dayan will no longer have the power to fight back."

"By all means, haven't you all heard that Tang Tingbai has a good relationship with Zheng Guo in the Central Domain? Although the strength of our Northern Wei is strong, compared with Zheng Guo, there is still a big gap, because a Tang Tingbai offended Zheng Guo, it is more than worth the loss, so I think we should send an embassy to Dayan, order Tang Tingbai to cut the land and pay reparations, and release our soldiers and generals at the same time. ”

"It makes sense, this official is also in favor of peace talks, after all, Dayan is just a barbarian land, our real enemy is the Northern Yuan of our Northern Regions, in case of forcing Dayan to be ruthless, they are very likely to unite with the Northern Yuan to attack our Northern Wei Empire, and at that time, it will be a troublesome matter to suffer from the enemy."

“……”

The officials of the Northern Wei Dynasty were full of discussions.

Emperor Wei frowned and did not speak.

After a moment of silence, Emperor Wei Wen slowly spoke!

"Dayan is indeed not our most important enemy, but now Dayan has slapped our Northern Wei in the face, if we don't even dare to let go of a fart, Dayan will inevitably have to make an inch, and the status of my Northern Wei in the hearts of other empires has also declined."

After speaking, Emperor Wei touched his chin: "Order the white-robed guards to send a master to Dayan to assassinate Tang Tingbai for me, which can be regarded as a lesson for Dayan." ”

Hearing this, a young man in a white robe among the hundred officials immediately stepped forward: "The minister obeys the order, please rest assured that the white-robed guard will definitely complete this task perfectly." ”

The White Pao Guard of the Northern Wei Dynasty was an organization similar to the Great Yan Jin Guard.

……

Swallow Kyoto.

Tang Tingbai had already returned to Kyoto with hundreds of civil and military officials.

As for Rome, Tang Tingbai is not worried, with Guiguzi and 500,000 Great Yan Dragons riding there, Rome can't make any big waves.

Now, Tang Tingbai has two most important tasks, one is to improve the national strength of Dayan and improve the strength of his soldiers, at least to raise the strength to the fifth rank of the ground level, so that Dayan's ability to really have the strength to fight with the Northern Wei Dynasty.

The second thing is to improve your strength.

The current Tang Tingbai is only the third grade of the heavenly rank.

Now, there are so many enemies, I don't know how many people secretly want his life.

Although Tang Tingbai's guards are all masters, there are always times when Tang Tingbai is alone.

What do you mean by that?

It's better to have a father and a mother than to have oneself.

Whether it is Shi Jin or Zhang Heng, their strength is very strong, but if they encounter a strong enemy, they are contained, and they are still very dangerous.

Dayan Kyoto, the temple of nourishing the heart.

Tang Tingbai sat on the chair, thinking about how to improve his strength.

Now it is impossible to cultivate on your own, although your talent is also good, but it is absolutely unrealistic to improve your strength in a short period of time.

After thinking about it, there is only one way left, and that is to rely on the system.

Tang Tingbai did not hesitate and went directly into the system.

"System, is there a way to improve my strength?"

As soon as the words fell.

The sound of the system was heard immediately.

"Ding-dong, yes, and there are many."

"Hosts can go to the task panel to see for themselves."

Hearing the sound of the system, Tang was overjoyed when he heard it, and he knew that the system must have a way.

He hurried to the quest panel and saw that there were three quests on it.

Task 1: Invent a cola that can be mass-manufactured.

When the task is completed, a strength amplification card will be rewarded, and you will directly become a master of the innate realm.

Task 2: Invent the electric light independently.

When the task is completed, a strength amplification card will be rewarded, and you will directly become the peak master of the Nine Grades of the Acquired Realm.

Task 3: Punish evil and promote good, every time you complete it, your strength will be improved by one grade.

This task can increase the strength of up to 10 grades.

After reading the three system tasks, Tang Tingbai was helpless.

Are these first and second tasks serious?

In Tang Tingbai's opinion, the most reliable is the third task.

For him, punishing evil and promoting good is not a big deal.

Today, Kyoto has been expanded several times and has been divided into four districts.

The eastern city has the most powerful people, the western city has the most people, the southern city has the most vendors, and the northern city has the most craftsmen.

And the worst public security, mixed with fish and dragons, is Xicheng.

Tang Tingbai touched his chin, it seemed that he could only find a way from Xicheng.

Just do it, Tang Tingbai stood up and left the palace directly with Zhao Zibed and the five people.

Although Zhang Heng and Shi Jin can also be regarded as Tang Tingbai's guards, in Tang Tingbai's opinion, they are still safe in Dayan Kyoto.

Even if there is any danger, it can be solved by the five people of Zhao Zibed.

Besides, Zhang Heng and Shi Jin are masters of the innate realm after all, and they should be respected by others, rather than taking others as followers.

Xicheng, Haohan Street.

Tang Tingbai was holding a folding fan in his hand and wearing a green shirt.

He walked down the street, looking for something that would allow him to punish evil and promote good.

But after walking for a long time, he found that the development of Xicheng was good, and the public security was also good, and when Zhuge Liang was the prefect of Kyoto, he governed Kyoto very well, and the next prefect only needed to do what Zhuge Liang designated, and there would be no big mistakes.

In this way, half a day passed.

The security of the entire Kyoto, even Tang Tingbai couldn't find anything wrong.

Tang Tingbai sighed, he looked at an inn next to him, and walked in directly: "Let's go, take a break, and continue in the afternoon." ”

The crowd asked for a few side dishes.

looked at the two actors on the stage singing.

sang about Lu Bu leading his troops to fight Goryeo Province.

Now many inns have cooperation with opera troupes, and there are operas and singing operas in the inns, which can attract many diners.

After all, there are really few entertainment facilities in Dayan now.

At the table next to Tang Tingbai, there were several rich sons, drinking wine and chatting with several women singing on stage.

"The two girls on the stage are really good at singing, and their figures are also good, and it is estimated that it is good to take back the concubine." The person who spoke was a young man in his twenties, with deep sunken eye sockets and heavy dark circles, which looked like he was overindulgent.

"Haha, Zhou Gongzi is reasonable, I have long heard that Zhou Gongzi pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade, and today I deserve the fame, I salute you." It was a thin young man with a flattering smile on his face.

Zhou Bo looked at the young man named Hou Jiang in front of him, with a touch of appreciation on his face: "Hou Jiang, if I'm not mistaken, your father is fifty-nine years old, and he is currently a fourth-grade Shaoqing in the Jiuqing Yamen, right?" ”

The thin Hou Jiang nodded hurriedly, and the flattering smile on his face became stronger: "Young Master Zhou is right, my father is now a fourth-grade Shaoqing, fifty-nine years old this year, according to the law of Dayan, at the age of sixty, it should be forced to return to his hometown, but my father seems to have worked for a few more years, according to the law of Dayan, he can serve for another five years from the third grade or above, my father's ability is limited, and I ask Young Master Zhou to help!" ”

Zhou Bo looked at Hou Jiang and did not speak.

Instead, he looked at the stage and listened to the play leisurely.

And Tang Tingbai frowned slightly when he heard the words of the two.

He almost instantly figured out what this Hou Jiang meant.

He's ready to beg for help.

Zhou Bo?

This name Tang Tingbai was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it.

"Zi bed, have you heard of that Zhou Bo?" Don listened to Bai Dao.

"The Emperor...... Childe, Zhou Bo is the third son of Zhou Guangkun, the ministry of officials. Zhao Zibed whispered.

Zhou Guangkun's son?

Tang Tingbai smiled, he knew that there was a good show to watch......
