Lin Wan'er's pretty face was flushed, she covered her face, her voice trembled, and she cried:

"Your Majesty, don't say it...... Woowoo woo ......"

Wu Mingkong didn't expect Lin Wan'er's reaction to be so big, he stood up from the dragon chair, patted her shoulder, and soothed: "Okay, okay, I'm just joking with you." ”

Lin Wan'er glanced at the empress from between her fingers, and seeing that she was not angry, she wiped the tears that were squeezed out, and said in a trembling voice: "The slave doesn't want to marry, the slave just wants to stay by Your Majesty's side forever and serve Your Majesty." ”

This sentence is not mixed with a little hypocrisy.

She grew up in the palace since she was a child, and when she was six or seven years old, she was by the empress's side.

When she was young, she was the empress's playmate and maid.

When she grew up, she became the eyes and ears of the empress and her maid.

After the empress ascended the throne.

She is just a Shang Yi on the surface, her status is lower than that of Shang Gong, and she can only be regarded as the second person among female officials.

But in fact, she is the only confidant of the empress, and she has a transcendent status in the palace.

Even the princes of the court had to say hello respectfully when they saw her.

If one day, when she leaves the palace and is not by the empress's side, she really doesn't know what to do.

Wu Mingkong looked at the pitiful Lin Wan'er in front of him and felt a little funny.

Reaching out to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, leaning over her ear, and whispering:

"I have decided, and I will allow you to serve me when I am tired."

Lin Wan'er was slightly stunned, her face turned red, and she was hot, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

"Slave, slave ......"

As soon as he spoke, he was interrupted by the empress.

"That's right! Next time, you are not allowed to stand at the door. ”

Wu Mingkong seemed to have thought of something, snorted, and gave an order.

Lin Wan'er defended herself in a low voice:

"According to the rules, the slave should stand by the bed......"

"I'm afraid that Your Majesty will think that the slave maid is in the way, so the slave and maid stand outside the door."

Wu Mingkong raised his eyebrows, and said angrily:

"My words don't work?"

Lin Waner's little head shook like a rattle:

"That's not what slave means."

"The slave just thinks that His Majesty's side must be guarded."

"Your Majesty is the true dragon son of heaven, crying like that, if it is heard by others, what kind of system will it become."

"You damn girl! Let you talk nonsense! Watch me tear your mouth apart! ”

Wu Mingkong blushed, stretched out his tender little hand, and pinched Lin Wan'er's little face.

"Woo woo woo ......"

Lin Wan'er looked pitiful and let Wu Mingkong bully.

That's when it happened.

Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside the Heart Cultivation Palace.

The footsteps of the ladies in the palace are very light and rarely make a sound.

As soon as I heard it, I knew that it was Fang Xiu who came.

"In the middle of the night, what did the traitor come to do?"

Wu Mingkong thought that something was wrong, and his eyes showed a touch of surprise and apprehension.

The next second.

The door of the Temple of Heart Cultivation was pushed open.

The visitor was dressed in a tooth-white brocade robe, tall and tall, with a picturesque face, gentle eyes, and indescribable grace and elegance.

It was Fang Xiu.

Wu Mingkong sat back on the dragon chair, looked at him, and asked a little anxiously, "What's wrong?" ”

Fang Xiu said: "Can't you come to see Your Majesty if you have nothing to do?" ”

Wu Mingkong: "......"

Nonsense!

This is the Royal Palace!

It's the Temple of Nourishing the Heart!

It's not your home, you can come if you want, you can leave if you want, what kind of system!

What's more, it's the middle of the night again, the moon and stars are scarce, the palace maids are asleep, and you come to the palace alone.

Put it in the history books, this is called confusing the harem!

Seeing Wu Mingkong's expression, Fang Xiu raised his eyebrows and chuckled:

"The minister is here to remind Your Majesty that Your Majesty has forgotten one thing."

Wu Mingkong's willow eyebrows frowned slightly, his delicate little face showed thought, and after a while, he was sure that he hadn't forgotten something important, looked at Fang Xiu, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Fang Xiu said leisurely: "Evening practice." ”

Wu Mingkong's eyes revealed a hint of flickering.

It took a while to react, glared at him, and said angrily: "Just for this?" ”

Fang Xiu walked to the dragon chair, propped his hands on it, forced his eyes at the little empress, and said leisurely:

"That's it."

The distance is close

You can feel Fang Xiu's breath.

Wu Mingkong's disguised wind and clouds collapsed violently, his face was red to the root of his ears, he leaned back, and said, "Isn't there a little maid in your house, find her to practice, I want to rest." ”

Fang Xiu smiled, walked up to her, and said softly:

"The minister only thinks about His Majesty in his heart."

Wu Mingkong opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but before he could open his mouth, he was picked up by Fang Xiu and placed on his lap.

Fang Xiu sat on the dragon chair, and under the reflection of the candlelight, his handsome face looked a little cold.

Wu Mingkong looked at his face through the glass mirror, and spat in his heart: every time he looks cold, in fact......

Lin Wan'er stood aside, watching their ears grinding, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, neither to leave nor to stay.

Minutes and seconds passed.

One of Fang Xiu's magic hands unbuttoned his robe.

Then, as if thinking of something, he turned his head to look at Lin Wan'er and said in a gentle tone:

"Wan'er, go and get the dragon robe that Your Majesty wore in the early dynasty."

Lin Wan'er was stunned for a while, and it took a while to react, nodded nervously, swallowed her saliva, and said in a trembling voice: "Hmm." ”

Wu Mingkong's silver teeth were clenched, and he wanted to bite off Fang Xiu's ears, and he didn't have a good air:

"A traitor who is a great traitor!"

"I said that I wouldn't change into a dragon robe!"

Fang Xiu chuckled lightly and kissed her lightly behind her ear:

"I hope Your Majesty will remember this sentence and wait for the meeting not to ask for ......"

Wu Mingkong opened his mouth to say something, but when he came to his mouth, it turned into an exhalation sound.

His cheeks were buried in his arms, and he didn't say a word.

............

Following.

Early morning.

It's winter.

The cold wind was bitter, and the branches of the trees rattled.

Northern suburbs school field.

The princes stood in place, looking at the new sergeant with a burning stick not far away, and there was a lot of discussion.

"Wouldn't what those soldiers were holding in their hands be the new weapons that Fang Xiang said yesterday?"

"How do you look like a burning stick."

"The official looks like a burning stick, but there is a hole in the middle."

"With such a weapon, it is estimated that it can only beat dogs, and what is the use of going on the battlefield?"

"Hey...... I hope that the new weapons mentioned by Xiang Ye refer to something else, otherwise the old man really wouldn't dare to invest the old money that he has accumulated for several years on this. ”

The princes looked at the new army, their faces more or less worried.

After they went back yesterday, they thought about it carefully.

Fang Xiang said so much, in fact, it can be summed up in one sentence.

"The prime minister plans to send troops to dominate the world, and he needs your money and food, and after the matter is completed, he will give you dividends."

In fact, this is also the ultimate purpose of Fang Xiang to gather them.

What he said and did was to prove that he had this ability.

If the new army really shows extremely high combat effectiveness, they are willing to contribute the old capital they have accumulated over the years.

The princes present had been by Fang Xiu's side for seven or eight years, and they trusted him very much.

If Fang Xiang gets the benefits, he will definitely share them with them.

Follow others to do things, generally speaking, the leader eats meat, and the henchmen drink soup.

Following Fang Xiu to do things, Fang Xiang eats a piece of meat, and they eat a piece of meat.

This is also the main reason why they willingly recognize a person with children and grandchildren as the leader.

Fang really doesn't have anything to say about his own people!

But.

No matter how good they are, they can't give away money for nothing.

Fang Xiang must let them see the hope of winning the war.

Even if there is little hope, it must not be zero!

If the Forces nouvelles really used this kind of burning stick as a weapon.

They will still come up with a sum of money and food, but it will only be perfunctory.

It's human nature, and no one can avoid it.

As the saying goes, brothers still settle accounts.

Zhu Gong was dressed in a big coat, standing outside the school field in the northern suburbs, his body was a little cold, and he had to keep moving to make his body warmer.

Since the abolition of the forbidden army and the establishment of three battalions.

The guards on the school grounds near Chang'an City have become extremely strict.

Originally, the places where ordinary people could enter and exit at will were all guarded by guards.

Within a radius of ten miles, no one is allowed to approach.

Even they, the second- and third-grade officials, the pillars of the court, can only hang out outside at most when they arrive here.

You can't enter the school grounds.

The guards at the gate told them clearly.

"No one is allowed to enter unless they are allowed to enter!"

Originally, Du Chenan also tried to use his identity as the number two person in the party to let them go in and find a room to keep warm.

As a result, the guard said directly: "Fang Xiang's order, even if it is Your Majesty, you are not allowed to enter without permission." ”

Instantly, there was silence.

There was no choice but to wait outside.

The cold wind howled, bringing a chill.

The elderly Du Chen'an's lips were a little white from the cold, and he didn't say anything more.

Side.

The younger Zhou Zheng couldn't stand it anymore, and muttered in a low voice:

"Why haven't Fang Xiang and His Majesty arrived yet?"

"They won't still be ......"

Speaking of which, something was realized, and it came to an abrupt end.

Du Chenan glanced at him and said coldly:

"Trouble comes from the mouth, be cautious in your words and deeds."

Zhou Zheng smiled awkwardly and responded: "What Du Butang taught is that the lower officials remembered." ”

As soon as the words fell.

I heard Qin Xingyan's slightly excited voice beside him.

"Fang Xiang is here! Fang Xiang is here! ”

Everyone was stunned and subconsciously raised their eyes.

And I saw not far away.

The two figures walked side by side, laughing and scolding.

"You're not shy about it......"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then realized something, and hurriedly shifted their gaze as if they had seen nothing.

A moment later.

Wu Mingkong, dressed in a fox fur, appeared in front of them, the green silk hung down, his expression was cold, like a fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world, and said coldly: "You have been waiting for a long time. ”

Voices are heard.

Everyone raised their eyes together, and their eyes showed a look of panic, as if they had just seen the little empress, they saluted in unison, and said in a panic:

"Your Majesty has arrived, and the ministers have missed the distance, please forgive your Majesty!"

Wu Mingkong glanced at them and said:

"Flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The crowd saluted again.

Wu Mingkong said: "What are you doing standing here, why don't you go in?" ”

Du Chenan said: "If you go back to Your Majesty, the school is important, and no one is allowed to enter unless you have the permission of Your Majesty and Fang Xiang." ”

Wu Mingkong was silent for a while, thinking of the huge role played by the musket, he felt that it was normal to be so strict, and waved his hand and said, "Let's all go in." ”

"Your Majesty and Fang Xiang, please!"

The crowd stood on either side and made way of the way.

Wu Mingkong nodded and walked into the school with Fang Xiu.

They all followed.

The group had just walked into the school grounds.

I saw a middle-aged man with good facial features and a robe greet him.

"See Your Majesty!"

The middle-aged man has a dignified body, a pair of eyes revealing perseverance, and a broad chest, as if he has the majesty of being invincible.

Wu Mingkong glanced at him and said, "You are Qi Jiguang?" ”

She had long known that the chief soldier in charge of the Shenji Battalion was named Qi Jiguang, who was promoted by Fang Xiu out of the ordinary, but she had never seen it before.

Qi Jiguang stood upright, bowed, and said respectfully: "The minister is Qi Jiguang." ”

Wu Mingkong nodded and said, "Do you know why I and the princes are here today?" ”

Qi Jiguang glanced at Fang Xiu and arched his hand:

"Show the combat power of the Shenji Battalion, and let the princes know that my big cadre is not a soft persimmon to be manipulated by others!"

After a pause, Zhengse said:

"The minister has self-confidence!"

"There are three major battalions here, and I will sweep through all the countries and dominate the world, just around the corner!"

As soon as this remark came out.

All the princes felt a little embarrassed inexplicably.

They have participated in this kind of proofreading countless times.

Whether it is the forbidden army or the Zhichong Mansion, it is the same.

At first, he boasted about Haikou and bragged about how powerful his soldiers were.

When it was time for the proofreading, I knew that it was just nonsense.

It's good to be able to get people together, stand in line, and do some basic coordination.

The new army is estimated to be the same.

Don't say anything about sweeping all countries, dominating the world, and it is not a shame to be able to do the most basic queue.

Thinking so, the princes heard the empress's cold voice sound.

"Now that you know, go ahead and prepare."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Qi Jiguang bowed, took out a gadget from his arms that he didn't know what it was, and put it to his mouth.

The next second.

I heard a loud whistle in the school yard.

Followed by.

The soldiers who were training all stopped training and rushed towards Qi Jiguang with the burning stick in their hands.

The soldiers who were burning the fire, cooking, resting, and washing also put down their work and rushed here regardless of it.

Seeing this, all the princes were startled, and subconsciously took a step back, wanting to escape.

Good boys.

If these guys rush up, they can't stop them with old arms and legs.

To their surprise.

The soldiers rushed to a certain position, all stopped, and stood in an orderly manner, forming a phalanx.

Just over a hundred breaths in time.

In the entire school field, thousands of people have all gathered.

From start to finish, there was not a single sound, and there was not a single bit of confusion.

It's as if the implementation has been rehearsed thousands of times.

When the princes saw this scene, they were all stunned.

Obviously, it was the first time they had seen such orderly soldiers.

This kind of efficiency is beyond their imagination.

Before they could recover from the shock they had just had.

Qi Jiguang suddenly roared: "Salute!" ”

The next second.

All the soldiers suddenly put their legs together, their right feet on the ground, and made a uniform sound, the momentum was magnificent, as if they were one person!

At this moment.

Zhu Gong looked at these soldiers, and a feeling actually rose in his heart.

Instead of thousands of new pawns, they are faced with thousands of troops!

"I didn't expect it, this new army really has something."

Zhu Gong looked at them and couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion in his heart.

But.

I heard that these new armies were created until now, and only the queues have been trained.

Such results are not unusual.

Without the right weapons, without training in combat, no matter how good the queue stands, it is the same when you go to the battlefield.

Even if it is equipped with new weapons now, how much combat power can it exert in just a few months?

To know.

What Fang Xiang said was......

After the beginning of spring, fight Zhou Guo!

That's it.

The princes' hearts couldn't help sighing again.
