Pengcheng, Dragon Temple.

Wu Qi lay quietly on the bed, three clusters of light lingering around her.

Fan Li's brows furrowed.

Since the group returned to Pengcheng safely, Wu Hu fell into a deep sleep.

He had already asked the imperial doctor to see it, but he couldn't see anything wrong, only said that the injury was quite serious, and it was good to be able to sleep and recuperate.

Fan Li had no choice but to stay by the bedside day and night.

Fortunately, although Wu Qi was still asleep, his complexion gradually recovered his blood and qi, and his breathing was even and steady, and it seemed that there was no major problem.

"Oops! Haven't asked about the cold moon yet?"

Fan was a little relieved, and then he remembered that he had neglected someone.

He immediately dialed the video call, and waited a long time for someone to connect.

"What?!"

The voice was angry, but it was Xiang Ning, who was puffing out his cheeks and his eyes were slightly red.

"Uh...... How is Your Majesty?"

Xiang Ning has always been the target of Fan Li's bullying, but today it is his turn to lack confidence and pretend to care.

"I'm fine, I can't die!"

"Oooh." Fan Li scratched his head. "Well, what about the Cold Moon Holy Lord, is she okay?"

Hearing this, Xiang Ning seemed to have eaten explosives, just one point!

"Do you know to ask the cold moon?"

"How many days have it been?"

"Why do you only think about caring for people now?"

"Are you busy with other women?"

"If I were a cold moon, I would never take care of you again for the rest of my life!"

Fan Li was slapped with his head and face, but his mood was inexplicably much lighter.

Listening to Xiang Ning's tone, she only blamed herself for not leveling the bowl of water and snubbing Han Yue, but she shouldn't be a big deal?

"Your Majesty, can you let your ministers see the cold moon?" Fan Li asked with a smile on his face.

"Humph!"

"Why? Is the cold moon something you can see? You think you're ......."

Xiang Ning was arrogant, but there was a quiet figure of Youlan, sitting beside her silently.

Someone came, it was the cold moon.

She was dressed a little strangely today, in addition to the simplicity of her dress, she also wrapped a white silk scarf around her head, which just happened to cover her forehead.

"Cold Moon?!"

Xiang Ning was surprised that she suddenly came over, squeezed her eyebrows for a while, and her expression seemed to say: How can you show your face so easily, you shouldn't be cheap that bad guy!

Hanyue only smiled slightly, showing a tolerant and comforting expression.

"You talk!"

Xiang Ning was quite shocked, and seemed to feel very distressed about Han Yue, so he pouted and stepped aside.

In the video screen, the four eyes are facing each other.

Fan Li forgot to speak for a while, and only looked Han Yue up and down.

Like, are people okay?

"You're amazing! Defeated all six trap beasts with a single sword?"

"Fluke." Hanyue shook her head. "It's just to take advantage of their attention to be on the black horse, and the sneak attack is successful."

"Sensato is really a god, does this move have a name?" Fan Li asked again pretending to be curious.

He also had nothing to say, and forced the embarrassment and worry in his heart.

"Most of my sword moves don't have names."

Hanyue still shook her head.

She looked at Fan Li with a smile, her eyes full of affection, as if she could never get enough.

"Shall I give your sword a name?" Fan Li cheekily said, "How about calling it [Sword Lai]?"

When he pronounced the name, he had a bit of a bad taste in his heart.

Han Yue repeatedly silently recited the word "sword comes", but refused.

"Or ...... Let's call it [Chasing the Moon]."

Chasing the moon?

Fan Li vaguely remembered that Hanyue's saber was also renamed [Chasing the Moon], she really liked this name?

After chatting awkwardly for a while, Fan Li was sure that Han Yue was fine, so he ended the video call.

But on the other side of the video, the situation is the same as he thinks

The elephant is completely different.

"Cold Moon!"

Xiang Ning stretched out his hand and tore off the silk scarf that the Sword Saint Lord was wrapping around his forehead.

The silk scarf slipped off, revealing large swaths of gray hair.

"What the hell is wrong with you?"

"There are more and more gray hairs, and you still don't want Fan Li to know?"

……

…………

Empress Yaoguang, coming to Pengcheng again.

This time, it was in the Great Chu Dynasty Hall, the Jinluan Palace.

"Within a year, I will personally conquer the Great Jin."

Hearing Yaoguang say these words in public, Fan Li's eyelids jumped.

Pro-conquest of the Great Jin?

Which Dajin?

It can't be the South Ridge Army, right?

In the court, the civil and military ministers of the Chu State were also in an uproar, but only Xiang Chong was so excited that his face was flushed.

Yaoguang smiled slightly, his eyes scanning everyone.

"Xiongzhou is the boundary of the Great Chu."

"When I send troops to Xiongzhou, I must borrow Chudi, and this matter needs the approval of His Majesty Emperor Chu, otherwise it will be inconvenient for me to move the army in vain."

It turned out to be trouble with Shi Jingjiao?

Fan Li put his mind at ease and continued to pretend to be deaf and dumb like a clay sculpture, allowing Empress Yaoguang to play majestic in her own territory.

"Good!"

"Excellent!"

Xiang Chong took the case.

"Shi Jingyao has occupied Xiongzhou for a long time, but no one in the Chinese martial arts of the dynasty can worry about it."

As he spoke, he peeked at Fan Li with disdain on his face, but he was afraid that he would find out, so he immediately looked away.

"Fortunately, His Majesty Yaoguang cared for the friendship of the alliance and relieved the difficulties of Da Chu, I am really grateful!"

"Ladies and gentlemen!"

"Who is in favor and who is against Daci's dispatch of troops to Xiongzhou?"

There were hundreds of civil and military officials in the Jinluan Palace, but no one spoke.

Even Fan Li was silent, and the others didn't squeak.

"In this case, I thank Your Majesty Yaoguang......

"Slow!"

The empress raised her hand and stopped Xiang Chong, who was about to thank him.

"Oh? What else does Your Majesty want? Just bring it up! Daci sent troops for Dachu, how could I not eat pot pulp to welcome the king?"

Xiang Chong and Yaoguang sang and harmonized, as if they had been rehearsed a long time ago.

Da Chu Qunchen had a strange expression.

Did Your Majesty study or not?

That's how you use the pot pulp to welcome the king?

The Empress smiled.

"I do have some requests."

"This time we sent troops to Xiongzhou as an alliance partner. Therefore, all expenses such as the army's heavy grain and grass, war losses, and bereavement should be provided by the state of Chu."

This is not an overstatement.

The civil and military officials of Great Chu, including Fan Li, could not find a reason to refuse.

But Fan Weizhong was even more curious, Yaoguang would come to fight for Chu for this little money?

"As it should be!"

Xiang Chong had an exaggerated expression.

"The king is far away, how can I be stingy and not grateful?"

"Da Chu is willing to use five years of taxes as the capital of the labor army, what does His Majesty Yaoguang think?"

Five years?

Dachu is rich in the world, and Daci has just been founded.

With such a big wave of his hand, Xiang Chong may supply more materials than Daci's own taxes in fifty years!

The Manchu Dynasty was in an uproar! Empress Yaoguang smiled brightly.

Fan Li suddenly realized that the people had already fooled the loser's child Xiang Chong, and planned to become a fat man in one bite.

Murder and arson of gold belts, repair bridges and pave roads, and there are no corpses.

The most profitable thing is to make war money!

"Good!" Yaoguang really smiled brightly, and stroked his palms and said, "His Majesty Emperor Chu said that I will also return to China to reorganize the army for war. Just wait for the supplies of the Chu State to arrive, and immediately send troops to Xiongzhou!"

Chrysostom?

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty looked at Xiang Chong one by one.

Five years of taxes, did he think it was child's play?

Xiang Chong still looked smug, and he couldn't feel the gaze of the ministers.

Helpless, the ministers had no choice but to pin their hopes on Fan Li.

"Your Majesty." Fan Li said loudly: "This duke will personally handle the military expenditure matters, and he must satisfy His Majesty, Empress Yaoguang, and my great Chu civil and military officials."
