The moonlight, through the floor-to-ceiling windows, shines into the hall.

The air was filled with the faint scent of women and the intoxicating smell of wine.

Maybe it's because I drank a lot of wine at the banquet just now.

At this time, all the women gathered together, and there was no feeling of shyness and restraint, but they were more open.

The gauze skirt on the body is even thinner, and at a glance, it looks like a hanging block.

Even the youngest Zhao Ling'er was slightly drunk at this time, looking at Zhu Xiongying expectantly.

Xu Miaojin was in front of the women, and the white tiger was slightly drunk, the most deadly.

Xun'er, Cailing and Xiao Wu laughed at each other, and the laughter like silver bells was clearer and clearer......

Zhu Xiongying glanced at the women and thought about it, there is no order in this way, and it is easy to make trouble.

Who supplies water? Who's in gear? Who's coming first and who's coming after? Who is responsible for which part?

I have to think of a way, the rain and dew are evenly wet.

The position and order have to be sorted out, and it is not easy to operate by instinct.

"Wait a minute."

Zhu Xiongying walked quickly to the eucalyptus, ready to wave the ink.

Xue Ji and Pranya Yuzu stepped lightly and came to the eucalyptus, one grinding ink for Zhu Xiongying, and the other laying paper for Zhu Xiongying.

The beauty is on the side, and the light gauze is jade.

In an instant, there were many pictures of charming ladies on the rice paper.

There are eight villains on it, and from the characteristics of their posture, they can tell who is who at a glance.

For example, the oldest is Xun'er, the youngest is Zhao Ling'er, the thinnest waist is Cailing, the white hair is Xueji, and the five-haired one is ......

"It's all optimistic, follow this pendulum."

Zhu Xiongying threw the rice paper, and the rice paper, which was half a foot wide, was directly suspended above the goose down bed.

Wine, what a good thing.

The eight girls didn't hesitate too much at all, according to this picture of the ladies, they cooperated with each other, and they also played and frolicked during the period, and the sound of silver bells laughing constantly.

The moment he saw the real picture, Zhu Xiongying's eyes were red, which man can bear this?!

"Ah Wei Eighteen Style!"

On this night, the Star Picking Tower shook off more than a dozen new tiles.

The goldfish in the liquid pool didn't fall asleep all night.

……………………

The next day, by the pond.

The morning is shimming, and the sun is rising.

Zhu Xiongying carried an exclusive fishing rod and fished by the pool.

His complexion today is not as good as before, and it looks a little empty, but he can understand it.

Even if it is a martial existence like Zhu Xiongying, it can't be so durable, there is an old saying that there is only a field that cannot be cultivated, and there is no old cattle that are tired and do not die.

What's more, it was eight fertile fields.

Zhu Xiongying's cow was not tired to death, and it was a miracle that he was able to get up early in the morning to fish.

"Your Majesty, Yan Guogong has arrived."

Xiaobao, who was guarding the side, said softly.

"Hmm."

Zhu Xiongying nodded slightly.

Xiaobao nodded to Zhu Di, who was respectfully standing ten zhang away.

Zhu Di approached quickly and saluted respectfully.

"Sinner Zhu Di, meet Your Majesty."

Up to now, Zhu Di still regards himself as a 'criminal minister' in front of Zhu Xiongying, and it seems that Zhu Laosi's attitude is indeed correct.

At this time, Zhu Di also looked very tired, but his fatigue was completely different from Zhu Xiongying's exhaustion.

Originally, he was reorganizing the army, after all, taking Champa and Nanzhang needed to be repaired, and then he was preparing to take down the Angkor Dynasty in one fell swoop.

After all, in the entire Indochina Peninsula, the three kingdoms of Annam, Champa and Nanzhang have all been incorporated into the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and only this last Angkor remains.

After taking Angkor, the territory of the Ming Dynasty in the south was adjacent to the sea, and he had no scruples.

The army to attack Angkor was ready, and Zhu Di even got the draft of the swearing-in declaration to boost morale before sending the troops, but suddenly an edict came, ordering him to return to Beijing quickly.

Although he was very puzzled why he was called back to Beijing at this time, Zhu Di did not dare to delay in the slightest.

After receiving the holy decree, he immediately led a team of light horsemen to set off from the capital of the king of Zhancheng and rushed to Yunnan, and then transmitted to Yingtian through the Qiankun sub-supervisor of the Yunnan Political Envoy, so that he could rush to meet His Majesty the Emperor in Chenshi.

I have to say that the Qiankun Prison is simply for the benefit of the public.

If it was at the speed of transportation in the past, it would be impossible for Zhu Di to return to Beijing in three or five months.

"All the way, the fourth uncle has worked hard, give me a seat."

Zhu Xiongying said a word, and immediately someone in the palace moved a chair for Zhu Di.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Xiongying, who was still fishing, and the drum in his heart was beating louder and louder, thinking about what was going on.

"I'm going to send my fourth uncle to the north."

"I don't know what the fourth uncle thinks."

Zhu Xiongying opened his mouth.

In a word, Zhu Di listened directly.

What's that? Northside? Is this a lie to me?

Although Zhu Di has surrendered, it does not mean that his city is scattered.

Looking at this matter from Zhu Di's point of view, he will naturally subconsciously think, is this the emperor testing his loyal ministers, is he judging whether he still has the heart of disobedience?

Let him, the former king of the north, return to the north, how is it different from letting the tiger return to the mountain?

Although Zhu Di was defeated, with Zhu Di's prestige in the north for many years, there will definitely be no fewer people who will respond.

"Your Majesty Mingjian, the minister has no vain attempt to return to the north, and the minister is only willing to serve the Ming Dynasty for the rest of his life, and after pacifying the four countries in the south, if the country needs it. The minister can continue to conquer, if not, the minister is only willing to return to this Yingtian mansion, with filial piety for a long time, but the rest of his life. ”

Zhu Di got up, and his words were resolute.

Zhu Xiongying listened to the music.

Of course, he could hear the meaning of Zhu Laosi's words, and he really didn't expect that this Zhu Laosi would have such a change.

But the only stubbornness in that sentence is also obvious.

'Serve the Ming Dynasty', 'If the country needs it', this Zhu Laosi doesn't mention a sentence of 'loyalty to His Majesty'.

"Fourth Uncle doesn't have to think about it, I just hope that Fourth Uncle will go to the north to integrate the remaining forces and build a second line of defense against Timur's army."

Zhu Xiongying put away the fishing rod and his face became solemn.

Then he stood up and looked at Zhu Di in front of him.

"I will be in retreat from now on, and during this period of retreat, I will not be able to take care of the northern border, and the war in the northern border may change at any time, I have ordered Lan Yu, Geng Bingwen, Su Wang Qingwang and other 500,000 troops to build the first line of defense against Timur."

"But in order to be more secure, I need you to build this second line of defense in case of accidents."

"This time, I will let all your old troops accompany you, and the remaining soldiers in the north can be controlled by you at the moment."

"As for the matter of the southern border, there is only one Angkor country left, and I have sent Chang Mao's father and son there, so there is no need to worry."

There is no suspicion in employing people, and there is no need for suspicious people.

Even if it is to treat Zhu Di, the once rebellious vassal king, Zhu Xiongying's way of employing people is still the same.

At this moment, Zhu Di was stunned.

He even wondered if he had a problem with his ears and heard it wrong?

If he surrendered to Zhu Xiongying before because of Zhu Xiongying's ox fork, then now it is because of Zhu Xiongying's open-mindedness and courage in employing people.

Think differently, if he Zhu Di is in Zhu Xiongying's position.

Zhu Di would never allow a person who had rebelled against him to lead the troops again, and he held such an important position.

Not to mention that when attacking the four countries in the south, he alone held more than 200,000 troops in the capital camp, so it was also a great trust to go to the north and integrate the second line of defense.

To a certain extent, the second line of defense is the existence of life and death.

Zhu Di was dressed in battle armor and knelt down on his knees.

Respectfully kowtow.

"Minister Zhu Di, obey the order."

Zhu Xiongying looked at Zhu Di, who was kneeling and saluting, walked past him, and patted him on the shoulder by the way.

"Grandfather Huang has woken up, remember to say hello, and I will give you two days off to go home to meet Princess Yan."

It's also interesting.

Although Zhu Xiongying abolished Zhu Di's title of King Yan, he retained Xu Miaoyun's title of Princess Yan.

An hour later.

Zhu Di wanted to go to the north to build a second line of defense, and all the people from the old Yan department, Zhu Neng Qiufu and others, followed Zhu Di this time, and the news quickly spread throughout the court, and the court was in an uproar.

In the Star Picking Building, Zhu Xiongying is making the final preparations before this retreat.

He was forging an enchantment, centered on the Star Picking Tower, enveloping the entire Ying Tianfu.

This is also the last guarantee.

Even if Timur's army attacked under Yingtianfu, even if it was a million army, even if there was that mysterious Western power, as long as this barrier was there, it would not be a big problem to hold it for ten days and half a month.

For some reason, Zhu Xiongying always felt a little bottomless in his heart.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

Xiaobao ran over quickly, looking a little flustered.

"What's wrong?"

Zhu Xiongying glanced at Xiaobao, thinking to himself that this goods should be packing up and heading to Taihu Lake.

"The hundred officials knelt outside the noon gate and begged His Majesty to withdraw his will to the Duke of Yan to go to the north."

Xiaobao said quickly.

He was indeed packing his bags, but when he got the news, his scalp tingled with shock.

The noon gate is forcing the palace?!

didn't bother to pack up, and came to report to Zhu Xiongying non-stop.

"Oh?"

Zhu Xiongying thought for a moment.

"Decree, all officials who kneel outside the noon gate will be given a hundred taels of silver, and for each additional hour of kneeling, an additional hundred taels of silver will be given, and there is no limit on it."

Zhu Xiongying said.

Xiaobao listened to this oracle with a confused face.

What?

What is this operation?

Hundreds of officials knelt outside the noon gate, this kind of operation is not without dynasties, and it will come once in three or five days.

Generally speaking, when encountering this kind of 'forcing the palace', the emperor will be angry.

Some good-tempered ministers will show up at noon to persuade them, hoping that these ministers will go back and forth.

Some people with a bad temper will fight directly until you dare not kneel, and at this time, there will often be some dead admonitions.

And when encountering some brutal ones, it is estimated that they will directly cut people at noon.

I've never seen a reward for silver, and the longer you kneel, the more you get, what kind of logic is this?

"Stunned, what to do, pass on the decree."

Zhu Xiongying glanced at Xiaobao.

"Yes, yes!"

Xiaobao hurriedly bowed down and passed the decree.

Zhu Xiongying is not a soul fungus, nor is he a tyrant, of course he can't beat up all these ministers who kneel outside the noon gate.

And he also knew that these people kneeling outside the noon gate today were for the sake of the country, after all, appointing a rebellious vassal king to the original fiefdom to integrate the army and build a defense line related to the survival of the country was too dangerous.

Therefore, Zhu Xiongying rewarded them with 100 taels of silver, which should be a kind of commendation.

If these old men like to continue to kneel, then they will always receive the silver.

These scholars still want to save face, and they will naturally be embarrassed if they receive more silver, so they will withdraw.

Zhu Xiongying raised his hand and pointed towards the lower liquid pool.

In an instant, on the entire surface of the Taiye Pool, a huge Yin-Yang Dao diagram appeared.

A wind swept by, and Zhu Xiongying's figure had already appeared in the center of the Daotu.

"Open."

A word.

The two rays of black and white light shrouded the entire Ying Tianfu in an instant.

At this moment, all the people of Ying Tianfu could perceive the changes in the sky, an instant darkness, an instant of daylight, and then no change in the slightest.

The enchantment that enveloped Ying Tianfu was laid out in an instant at this moment.

Then, Zhu Xiongying stepped out, and his figure disappeared in the Taiye Pool.

Jiangxi Political Envoy Division, 721 Mine.

The name '721' was named by Zhu Xiongying according to the original historical trajectory, and was named by the way.

In the huge cave, Zhu Xiongying's figure appeared.

The divine consciousness was dispersed in an instant, and the entire mine was thoroughly explored.

Sure enough, it's a big mine.

According to Zhu Xiongying's estimates, the coverage area of the 721 mine is the size of hundreds of football fields, which is indeed the first in Asia.

I don't know if it's enough. ’

For Zhu Xiongying to break through from the Great Heaven Realm to the Qi Heaven Realm, the amount of power required was immeasurable.

So in addition to this 721, there are two other mines that are used as alternatives.

Take a deep breath.

Zhu Xiongying's eyes gradually changed, like vast stars.

For this breakthrough, he deliberately chose an exercise in the system.

"Nine changes in the stars."

In an instant, the entire karst cave changed and turned into a vast universe, with countless stars twinkling.

……………………

Northern Sudi, Jiayuguan.

Geng Bingwen didn't close his eyes for a whole day and night, his eyes were dark, and his eyes were fixed on the Timurid vanguard army outside the pass.

He believed that the commander of the vanguard army on the opposite side was doing the same thing as him, and he was also staring at Jiayuguan without stopping.

Beside him, King Su Zhu Ao and King Qing Zhu Zhan were about to fall asleep.

"Herald!"

Suddenly, Geng Bingwen roared.

Zhu Ao and Zhu Zhan were so shocked that their eyes suddenly opened, and their souls were almost frightened.

The second king rubbed his eyes and looked outside the pass, only to see that the vanguard army of Timur, which had been dormant all along, began to move at this time.

Moreover, the speed of the platoon is extremely fast!

Immovable as a mountain, moving as a tiger.

"How can you be so fast!"

Zhu Ao didn't believe his eyes a little, this is a whole 500,000 army, how could he launch an offensive in such a short time.

The 500,000-strong army, hovering into a trapezoidal attacking formation, methodically slaughtered towards Jiayuguan.

"Plan before you act."

"Your Highnesses, prepare to defend yourself against the enemy."

Geng Bingwen said in a condensed voice.

Although Zhu Ao and Zhu Zhan are the kings, but an army cannot have two masters, above Jiayu Pass, Geng Bingwen's words are absolute military orders, whether it is Zhu Ao or Zhu Zhan, they must listen to their moderation.
