Fang Xiu glanced at her, and there was a fire burning in his eyes.

Wu Mingkong noticed his eyes, his neck shrunk, and he didn't dare to continue to provoke.

She just wanted Fang Xiu to go back and not have the energy to deal with others.

I don't want to sell myself.

"Aiqing has a point, it's time to prepare."

Wu Mingkong's delicate pretty face showed a serious look, pretending to be casual, a serious way.

As he spoke, he was about to get up from the dragon couch.

Fang Xiu's eyes were quick, and he pressed her down, his sharp eyes forced him to look at her, and he said coldly: "What Your Majesty said just now, the minister didn't hear clearly." ”

The absolutely beautiful and flawless girl looked at Fang Xiu's impatient eyes, her heart jumped, and her cheeks turned red.

He twisted his body, trying to break free.

Moved twice.

Something feels wrong.

"You're not ......"

Wu Mingkong's mouth opened slightly, and he looked at Fang Xiu in disbelief.

Fang Xiu looked at her directly, lowered his eyes, and did not speak.

Not good!

Get out of control!

Wu Mingkong instantly sensed the danger, immediately confessed, looked well-behaved, and said softly: "I just said that my father is the most powerful and considerate. ”

Fang Xiu raised his eyebrows, as if smiling:

"I remember, Your Majesty didn't seem to say that just now."

Abominable traitor.

I know how to bully me all the time.

Sooner or later, you will be on your knees at my feet.

Wu Ming scolded on an empty stomach, bit his lower lip, and suddenly raised his head, and landed his red lips on the tip of Fang Xiu's nose.

"I knew I was wrong, so my father spared me."

The expression is weak, the eyes are bright, and the tone is sweet.

Fang Xiu originally just wanted to scare and scare her, but at this moment, his heart was rippling.

took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the Ji Dong in his heart, and finally decided to keep the promise of "not doing that until the name is right", and let her go.

Shen Dao:

"Your Majesty, remember, you can never say no to your minister."

Wu Mingkong seized the opportunity and jumped down from the dragon couch, after keeping his distance from Fang Xiu.

There was a sly look in his eyes, and he snorted:

"Fang Xiu can't do it! Fang Xiu can't do it! Fang Xiu can't do it! ”

After saying it three times in a row, he left the Heart Nourishing Hall as if he was fleeing.

Fang Xiu sat on the dragon couch, looking at her graceful back, a smile appeared between his eyebrows.

"What Emperor Your Majesty, obviously he is still a child who has not grown up!"

On Chinese New Year's Eve, it is a tradition for the Son of Heaven to entertain the courtiers.

Actually, it's nothing, it's just gathering in the palace for a meal.

Then distribute some silk, copper coins and other things, a bit of a year-end party and year-end bonuses.

This year, as usual.

The empress first made a speech, talking about what is there and not, in short, in the past year, the life of the people has been getting better and better, all of which is the credit of the princes, balabala.

After the lecture, it was music and dance.

Hundreds of officials raised their glasses and drank each other, and talked about wine.

The empress looked at the enchanting Huren dancer in front of her, and pretended to glance at Fang Xiu casually.

Fang Xiu just buried his head in eating and didn't raise his head much from beginning to end.

[Mood +2000]

"Hmph, it's quite conscious."

Wu Mingkong's expression was cold, like frost, but his heart was happy.

Soon, the dinner ended.

All the officials went back to their homes.

Wu Mingkong also returned to the Heart Cultivation Palace.

According to Daqian's custom, one should stay at home on Chinese New Year's Eve.

Therefore, she didn't let Fang Xiu stay, but just asked Lin Wan'er to send him leeks and oysters, and asked him to pay more attention to his body after he went back.

When Fang Xiu received the "gift", his eyes sank, and he wanted to rush directly into the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Tell the little empress that some jokes can't be messed around.

Standing in place, he calmed down for a while before he restrained his inner impulse and returned to Xiangguofu.

The huge Xiangguo Mansion is full of flaming lanterns.

Go back to your house.

Fang Xiu lay on the bed and slowly closed his eyes.

After a while, I heard the sound of Suo Suo outside.

Immediately after, a crisp and pleasant voice came in.

"Xiangye, can the slave come in?"

Fang Xiu was slightly stunned, suddenly thought of something, and fell silent.

After a while, he made a decision, and said softly:

"Come in."

The door slowly pushed open.

The next second.

The slender figure, delicate and small, like a cat, got in.

Fang Xiu looked at Yang Yuhuan, who had been carefully dressed, and opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

I haven't spoken yet.

The little girl took off her coat, shoes and socks, climbed into bed, and got into the quilt like a loach.

The movements are skillful, as if they had been practiced in advance.

She meekly shrunk into Fang Xiu's arms, and even through a layer of clothes, she could feel her heat.

Yang Yuhuan raised his hot little face, looking at the handsome face in front of him in the dark, his eyes were full of mist, and his tone was soft and charming.

"The slave has waited for a long time, and finally this day has come."

Fang Xiu looked at her watery eyes, and an inexplicable feeling spread out in his heart.

After being silent for a while, he reached out and touched her little face, and said softly:

"Hold you tonight, obediently, don't move."

Yang Yuhuan's face was crimson, her heart was beating faster, she shrank in her arms, and nodded heavily.

Fang Xiu took her in his arms, hugged his waist tightly, and closed his eyes.

Yang Yuhuanqiong's nose moved slightly, sniffing the surging smell on his body, feeling that his heart had been filled.

"Xiangye ......"

She shook her head slightly, and pressed it tighter.

Minutes and seconds passed.

The little girl felt more and more wrong.

The so-called hugging you is really just hugging and doing nothing.

Bad looks.

It will only coax people.

Fail to keep the faith.

Yang Yuhuan whined a few times, poked his little head, and whispered in Fang Xiu's ear:

"Xiangye, slave maid...... It's so uncomfortable......"

“......”

"Xiangye, slave maid...... The slave maid wants to ......"

“......”

"Xiangye ......"

"Purr...... Purr ......"

"Is Xiangye asleep?"

"Purr...... Purr ......"

"Xiangye is a bad person!"

"Purr...... Purr ......"

"Xiangye didn't believe what he said! It's a puppy! ”

"Purr...... Purr ......"

"Humph!"

Yang Yuhuan pouted, looking at Fang Xiu's handsome face, a little unhappy.

Good for a while.

She seemed to think of something, her eyes showed a touch of cunning, and her pretty face flushed.

He shrank and slipped into the quilt.

"Xiangye, the slave maid has to practice musical instruments."

Fang Xiu: "......"

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

Zhou Guo.

Inside the camp tent outside Yanbei Mansion.

Several prefects and commanders who participated in the Qing monarch's side gathered together.

Yanbei commander Zhao Xuanfeng said:

"There is news from the capital that Wei Dongzheng and the dog thief have sent the Tiger Army to clear the rebel army in the east, but Your Majesty did not agree."

The voice fell.

Everyone looked at each other, and they all had some hearts.

If His Majesty adopts Wei Dongzheng's advice and dispatches the Tiger Army, the Eastern Rebel Army, which was originally loose, will definitely be scattered.

As soon as the eastern rebels dispersed, the southern provinces would be in danger.

It won't be long before their efforts come to naught.

"I just want His Majesty to take back his order and execute Wei Dongzheng, why is it so difficult!"

"I really don't know what kind of ecstasy soup Wei Dongzheng poured into His Majesty, so that His Majesty believes in the New Deal so much!"

"The system of the imperial court is improved by the ancestors after absorbing the experience of previous dynasties, and it has been implemented for more than 100 years, and there has never been any problem.

"The law of the ancestors is immutable, this is the consensus of all countries, why can't Your Majesty figure it out!"

When they said this, they sighed for a long time.

This time.

The curtain of the tent was lifted.

Two figures stepped in.

Tang Yixue was wearing a moon-white dress and a snow-white fox fur, looking soft and weak, gentle and lovely.

When the people present saw her, their expressions were solemn and fell silent.

Behind.

Tang Rou, who was dressed in a black suit, was holding a long sword in her arms, slim and elegant, and her pretty face was cold, like frost.

The arrival of the two made the atmosphere in the camp silent.

Everyone glanced at Tang Yixue with complicated eyes, and they all lowered their heads.

I don't know how long it took.

It was the prefect of Yanbei who broke the silence and bowed and said:

"I've seen Miss Tang."

Tang Yixue glanced at him, nodded, didn't say anything, walked to the first seat, and sat down.

Zhao Xuanfeng, the commander of the Yanbei Guard, thought about it, looked at Tang Yixue, had a serious expression, and said:

"Miss Tang, the Wei Party's power is getting bigger and bigger, and it won't be long before you can control the court and send the Tiger Ben Army south to encircle and suppress us.

This official predicts that at the latest, that is, at the beginning of spring, the imperial court will send the first wave of troops south, even if it is not the Tiger Ben army, it must be elite.

At that point, we'll wait for what to do. ”

The voice fell.

There was a lot of talking.

"Yes! After all, the imperial court is strong and strong, and if it is really determined to fight to the death with us, it will be difficult to withstand the two or thirty thousand people in our hands. ”

"Now the state capitals that are willing to clear the monarch's side have all raised their banners, and the rest are on the side of the imperial court, if there are no reinforcements, I won't be able to hold out for even a year."

Everyone looked worried, and sighed for a long time.

Tang Yixue looked around and slapped the table.

Syllable!

Moment.

There was silence in the tent.

Tang Yixue's cold eyes looked at everyone, and said coldly:

"After the beginning of spring, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess will send troops to serve the king."

One stone stirs up a thousand waves.

When everyone heard this, they were stunned at first, and then their eyes widened in disbelief.

"Isn't Her Royal Highness the eldest princess already married to the prime minister of Qianguo? How to send troops to the king of Qin? ”

Tang Yixue said: "Do what you should do, don't ask what you shouldn't ask." ”

The voice fell.

Everyone looked at each other, and they could see the look of surprise and trance in each other's eyes.

"It turns out that this Tang Yixue turned out to be the prime minister of Qianguo!"

"No wonder she is so well-informed, and she can bribe me with so much silver."

Those present were either prefects or commanders, all as good as foxes, and they soon realized.

The so-called eldest princess, Her Royal Highness, sent troops to the king of Qin.

It is very likely that the prime minister of Qianguo took advantage of this to invade the Great Zhou!

The question is......

Who gave the confidence of the prime minister of Qianguo and made him think that the army of Qianguo could win the army of the imperial court?

Commander Xuanfeng was silent for a moment, and then asked, "I don't know what Miss Tang said, but it's the army of Qianguo?" ”

Without waiting for Tang Yixue to speak, he said to himself: "The Qianguo army is all a rabble, and it is vulnerable, and it will only cause chaos for me and others when the time comes, so it is better not to use it." ”

Tang Yixue glanced at him, her eyes were cold, and she said coldly:

"Again, don't ask what you shouldn't."

When the Xuanfeng commander heard that the Qianguo army was going to invade the Great Zhou, he was already unhappy.

Hearing this, Teng stood up suddenly, stared at Tang Yixue deadly, and said coldly:

"Miss Tang, you asked me to wait for Qingjun's side, and I waited to take the risk of punishing the nine clans, so I didn't say a word, and followed suit.

In the cold winter, let me wait to open the warehouse to release grain, gather the people, and build roads, I didn't ask too much, and followed suit.

Now, I have to cooperate with Her Royal Highness the eldest princess to raise troops and serve the king......

Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has already married into the Qianguo, where are the soldiers, and the king of the family!

It's clear that the dry people took advantage of this incident to invade my Great Zhou!

The invasion of foreign enemies, as the commander of the Great Zhou Guard, can't we still ask! ”

Tang Yixue looked at him, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and her tone was cold:

"Didn't I tell you that the moment you take the Bowel Breaking Pill and accept the money, you will no longer be the commander of the Zhou State."

The Xuanfeng commander said loudly:

"Then I'm also a Zhou person! If someone wants to invade, I'll be the first to do it! ”

Hear this.

Tang Yixue's eyes burst out with a strong killing intent.

Looking around, his expression was neither happy nor sad, and he said coldly:

"Whoever thinks the same way as him, stand up."

Everyone looked at each other, and they all bowed their heads and said nothing.

As early as the moment of taking the bowel-breaking pill.

Their ridge beams are bent, how can they come out at this time.

Commander Xuanfeng looked at his colleagues who were burying their heads, his eyes showed a touch of disdain, but he didn't say anything, just stood straight in place, looking at Tang Yixue with blazing eyes.

Tang Yixue looked at him expressionlessly, and said:

"Xuanfeng commanded Feng Shi to suddenly fall ill and die, and dragged him down for a thick burial."

The voice fell.

A cold light flashed.

Before the Xuanfeng commander could speak, his eyes turned black and he fell to the ground.

A sword seals the throat!

This is the first time in a month that Tang Rou's sword has been unsheathed!

Everyone looked at the scene in front of them, and they were terrified.

The next second.

Several guards stepped forward, dragged the corpses on the ground, and left the tent.

Time.

The whole tent fell into a dead silence.

Everyone lowered their heads, their emotions were complicated, and they didn't know what to say.

This time.

A figure walked in slowly.

Footsteps rang out.

Everyone was stunned, and subconsciously raised their eyes to look ahead.

A tall woman with a delicate face stood there, dressed in an ink-colored coat, with a cold expression, black hair hanging down her waist, and a noble temperament.

In just an instant, someone recognized her, got up hurriedly, and saluted respectfully:

"See Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess!"

It turned out to be Her Royal Highness the eldest princess?

Everyone looked at each other, and they could see the look of shock in each other's eyes.

They all got up and saluted in unison:

"See Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess."

The tall woman stood where the corpse was lying and looked around, her expression was cold, and she said coldly: "A month later, the palace will go north to King Qin, you wait to prepare in advance!" ”

Everyone glanced at each other, and the original heavy mood suddenly became a little better, and they saluted in unison:

"Yes! Your Highness! ”

Although they knew in their hearts that the soldiers used by King Qin must have come from the army of Qianguo.

But knowing that the person who led the troops was Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, he felt a little better in his heart.

It's not like before, it seems to be a dry man's lackey.

"As the courtiers of the Great Zhou, it is reasonable for us to respond to the King Qin of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, and we should not leave too much infamy in the future."

Thinking like this, the psychological burden has weakened a lot.

One by one, they began to plan, how to prepare grain and grass, and how to deal with the army of the imperial court.

Tang Yixue sat in the first seat, witnessed the change in everyone's expressions, thought about it, wrote a letter, and sent it back to Chang'an.

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

Thousands of miles away.

Outside the city of Chang'an.

On a high platform.

Fang Xiu, who was dressed in a crane robe, was tall and straight, standing straight in place.

On both sides stood Bai Qi and Qi Jiguang.

One was the commander of the Northern Expedition.

The other is the chief soldier of the Shenji Battalion.

Offstage.

Countless soldiers, muskets in their hands, stood motionless as if they were statues.

One by one, they looked straight ahead, their eyes firm.

The cold wind is howling, and the flag is hunting.

Full of the smell of slaughter!

These are new non-commissioned officers who have been training for almost a year.

Although they have never been on the battlefield, they all have experience in suppressing bandits, and their combat power is extremely strong.

They were also the first troops that Fang Xiu was preparing to send to the Zhou State.

When I arrived in Yongzhou, it was about half a month later.

A month later, the weather warmed up and everything recovered.

They will march into the Zhou Kingdom with neat steps and participate in the battle as a rebel army under the command of Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess!

Not far away.

Wu Mingkong and the civil and military officials looked at the army in front of them, their eyes shining.

Put it a month ago.

When they were told that the Great Cadres could have an army that was strong and strong, they would only think it was a joke.

But.

Now, such an army that can amaze the world is in front of them.

How can it not be amazing!

"It is truly shocking that the new army has been able to develop to such a point in less than a year."

"Before, Fang Xiang said that he wanted to develop a new army to fight against Zhou and Yan, and this official still thought it was a fool's dream, but now it seems that this official is simply a mouse."

"It's not that you're short-sighted, it's Fang Xiang's foresight, who else in the world can plan ten years in advance like Fang Xiang."

"Fang Xiang is really a rare talent of Wang Zuo in a thousand years, how fortunate I am to have this virtuous appearance."

The officials looked at the figure on the stage and whispered.

The empress, who was standing at the forefront, heard the discussion, and a touch of pride appeared between her eyebrows.

I thought: A talent that is rare to see in a thousand years, when he arrives on the dragon couch, he is not being manipulated by me at will.

As soon as this thought came to mind, it felt a little strange.

Shaking his head, trying not to make himself think about these messy things, he focused all his attention on the stage.

"Even if the new soldiers are extremely powerful, if they are allowed to leave Daqian and go to a foreign land, there will definitely be resistance."

"I don't know how Fang Xiu plans to motivate the soldiers, so that they can fight bravely from the bottom of their hearts to kill the enemy and serve the court."

Wu Mingkong thought so, and his eyes became more focused.

Stage.

Fang Xiu looked at the soldiers below with firm eyes and resolute expressions, and the bunch of words that he had prepared were suddenly stuck in his throat and he couldn't spit them out.

These soldiers were originally poor people, and they couldn't eat enough.

Because of this, after coming to the New Army, everyone was grateful.

After such a long time of training, they also know in their hearts that sooner or later they will have to go to the battlefield.

Everyone was mentally prepared in advance.

Even, there are some people who have been looking forward to this day and are extremely excited.

Each of them regards the death on the battlefield as their own destiny, what is there to motivate?

Fang Xiu looked around, made a decision, cut down the complicated, raised his voice, and said loudly:

"As you can guess, the time has come to test you."

"After today, you will embark on a journey, go to a foreign land, and carry out the orders of the imperial court!"

"Before leaving, the prime minister has nothing to say, only to tell you, go forward, the brave will win!"

The voice fell.

Countless soldiers shouted hoarsely:

"Unstoppable!"

"The brave will win!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

The sound is uniform.

Resounding in the sky, magnificent.

Even if it's at a distance.

The empress and the hundred officials were also intimidated by the momentum of the new army.

Each soldier had a hideous expression and roared with all his might.

They have no doubts.

If the enemy appears here, the soldiers of the new army can eat them alive!

But.

Who would have thought.

These murderous guys, poor people who couldn't eat a year ago.

I thought that these poor people were weak lambs.

But I didn't expect that as long as they were given a chance, they could easily transform into a fierce wolf.

They dare not imagine.

If Fang Xiang did not punish the grain merchants, suppress the price of grain, and promote sweet potatoes, so that the people could fill their stomachs.

Will the poor people who still have to endure hunger and hardship be like the new soldiers, who will transform into hungry wolves and rebel against the court?

"It turns out that no matter how weak the people are, there is a tiger hidden in their hearts."

At this moment.

Only then did the officials realize what it is: water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat.

A moment later.

The shouts of killing gradually dissipated.

Fang Xiu stood in place.

Dressed in a robe, the gray-haired god of war rose white and took a step forward.

His eyes were blazing, and he said in a very penetrating voice:

"I am white! As the chief general of the Northern Expedition! ”

"Before leaving, General Ben must set up a rule!"

"One, when the musketeers are arrayed, the first row of soldiers will be rewarded with three taels of silver! The second row of soldiers will be awarded one or two silver! ”

"Second, for the soldiers who died in battle, the imperial court will pay double the bereavement pension!"

"Three, the disabled soldiers, after leaving the barracks, will be distributed by the imperial court, do what they can, and pay one tael of wages every month!"

"Fourth, all the children of soldiers will be funded by the imperial court and enter the academy to study!"

"Five ......"

When the soldiers below heard these "rules", their eyes became shining, and there was only one thought left in their hearts: to fight bravely to kill the enemy! Serve the court!

A moment later.

Bai Qi stopped and looked at Fang Xiu on the side.

Fang Xiu's deep eyes looked ahead, and he didn't say anything more, just shouted out two words.

"Let's go!"
