Daozu once said: If you govern a big country, you should cook small fresh.

On the mountain behind the Tuo Temple in Zhangzhou City, at the relics tower, Li Wan and Chen Liu, who were walking around the relics of countless sitting monks, were still chatting.

Not long ago, it was clear that someone came to talk to the prince, and it seemed that there was something he needed to deal with.

As a result, Li Wan just nodded and let his subordinates leave on their own.

He smiled and said to Chen Liu:

"It's a small thing, it's not worth a grudge. Let's move on."

Chen Liu hoped that there would be something big, and he was very tired of talking to the prince.

Fortunately, Her Royal Highness the princess was idle and the two of them were bored, so they left first and went to have fun, otherwise they would be even more tired.

"I wonder what's the matter with Childe?"

"The people down there have found something, let me take a look. By the way, how do you think this Zhangzhou should be supervised?"

It's so clear that politics is asked.

Chen Liu thought about it again and again, but still didn't decide to prevaricate, and asked rhetorically:

"How is Childe going to monitor?"

"Originally, it was planned to focus on agriculture and mulberry, but there are few mountains here, and the yield is even worse, so there is really no need to investigate."

Li Wan's words, Chen Liu naturally won't believe it.

As the crown prince of a country, it is impossible not to know what the focus is here.

Obviously, he intends to study Chen Liu's skills.

"The matter of agriculture and mulberry in Zhangzhou is indeed chicken, and it is difficult to develop. However, Zhangzhou is located at the threshold of communication between the Guanzhong Plain and the Jianghuai region, but it really has three places."

"Oh?"

"Armor, caravans, and fortifications."

Hearing this, Li Wan had already nodded secretly, but he still wanted to hear the exact answer.

This soldier and merchant travel are his policies. However, I don't know how Chen Liu thought about this fortification.

"Needless to say, the mountains and rivers block the two plains, leaving only the Zhangzhou line. If this pass is broken, whether it is Guanzhong into Jianghuai or Jianghuai to Guanzhong, it will be a peaceful place. Except for the city passes, there is no such natural danger to defend."

There is something more specific that Chen Liu has no way of knowing.

If an outsider like him could easily know the structure of military power, then those people in the military department would all eat dry food.

However, Chen Liu still briefly proposed the strategy of dividing troops and controlling generals.

If there is only one garrison, then at least one other army must be brought in as a countermeasure anyway.

No matter how bad the combat strength of the new army is, it must be trained.

In any case, a strong army must not be allowed to control the survival of Zhangzhou City alone.

The generals who command the army should also be temperate with their superiors and subordinates.

The deputy general can be a local, and the main general must be sent by the central government.

The method of controlling the generals, Chen Liu did not say.

All those who mingle in the court should know one or two of them.

"Hmm...... There is indeed only one strong army here, and the others can only be regarded as local civilian armies, and they are not ...... climate."

However, Li Wan did not doubt the loyalty of the Longzuo Janissaries.

This strong force has a close relationship with the forbidden army in the capital, and the forbidden army is one of the guards of the royal family.

However, he agrees with Chen Liu's approach.

Reasonable checks and balances are an important tool for preventing power from becoming unbalanced.

Before Chen Liu could say the other two points, he heard the sound of Go falling not far away.

So the two of them stopped talking first and walked towards the place where they were playing.

In the center of the relics tower, there is a stone pavilion, and there is a Buddha and two monks under the pavilion.

They are all quite old, and their gray beards and furrows on their faces tell the vicissitudes of life they have experienced.

One of the old monks was holding one of the Taoist's hands to prevent him from taking back the chess pieces that had already been settled.

"You've repented three times, but it's only three."

"If you break the rules, I will regret it if I want to."

Subsequently, the two old men noticed Chen Liu and Li Wan approaching.

Dressed in yellow monk's robes

The old monk stood up and greeted the two rudely.

The Taoist didn't stand up, he just secretly took a few chess pieces in his hand, and then glanced at them with a squint.

"Oh? There is a true dragon emperor and ...... Huh?"

The Taoist disappeared in an instant the next moment and appeared beside Chen Liu.

He forcibly grabbed Chen Liu's left hand, took out the middle finger, looked at the verdant ring, and then stared at Chen Liu and asked:

"Boy, who are you?"

The Taoist saw Li Wan's identity at a glance, but the prince of Daliang did not let him have the slightest interest.

But Chen Liu, to be precise, the King Kong Zhuo in Chen Liu's hand made him very interested.

Chen Liu didn't know the two in front of him, but from the moment the Taoist made a move, it could be seen that he must be a top master.

The middle-aged swordsman who protected the prince also quietly appeared beside Li Wan, sword out to be vigilant.

"Seniors are masters of the Dao Sect?"

"Not really. Are you the inheritor of the Dao Venerable?"

"It's not."

This answer made the Taoist a little strange.

If a person who is not recognized as a supreme Dharma weapon of the Dao Gate, even if he forcibly obtains this object, it is absolutely impossible for him to use it normally, and he will be counterattacked.

However, he could also tell that the young man in front of him was not lying.

"That's weird, so how did you get this thing?"

"It was given to me by an elder."

Chen Liu only knew that this thing was given to him by a golden rod when he first met the White Lotus Bodhisattva in Drunken Dream Tower, and it was speculated that it should be arranged by Feng Shuai.

Finding that Chen Liu really didn't know, the Taoist was a little disappointed, and finally returned to the stone pavilion.

"Take the sword, I don't have any interest in your master."

The Taoist glanced at the middle-aged swordsman beside Li Wan again, and said nonchalantly.

The swordsman was a little angry, but he was held down by the prince.

"Stand down."

"Yes."

Hearing the prince's order, the swordsman finally gave up the idea of fighting the Taoist.

"The two masters aren't from here, are they?"

The Taoist was not interested in answering Li Wan's question, but the old monk nodded.

They are indeed not from this Zhangzhou City.

"The two of us sensed the movement of the Heavenly Demon Breath, and we have only come here."

The old monk in yellow explained the purpose of their visit.

Chen Liu and Li Wan both nodded yes.

Needless to say, Li Wan also understood the mystery under the finger of his own hidden master.

At this time, the Taoist shouted two more sentences to Chen Liu:

"Although you don't seem to be his heir, if you can meet him, tell him that the debate is not over."

There is a huge message in these words.

Li Wan didn't know at this time, but Chen Liu knew who this person was talking about.

He actually dared to argue with Daozun?!

Chen Liu only nodded, and said whether he passed the word or not. Dao Zun, who can he see if he wants to?

"But we do want to see both of us?"

"See us?"

The old monk's words made both of them feel a wave of doubt.

But I only heard the old monk say:

"The two of you will play a pivotal role in the future changes, and we hope that you two can keep your true intentions and not be burdened by foreign affairs and fall into the devil's path."

The old monk spoke eloquently, but the Taoist was more direct:

"What nonsense, if you fall into the devil, we will take action to eliminate harm for the people."

Li Wan's face was cloudy.

Chen Liu didn't care, he walked straight to the stone pavilion, picked up several chess pieces on the chessboard, and then fell one by one.

The situation on the chessboard was turned upside down in an instant.

The originally dominant monk side was overwhelmed by the Taoist's sunspot, and it only took a few steps to lock in the victory.

However, after Chen Liu dropped another chess piece, the situation reversed.

In the end, it was a draw.

"The benefactor has great wisdom."

"A little cleverness may not be able to grasp the general trend."

The Taoist flicked his sleeves, and the chessboard exploded in an instant, turning into dust all over the ground.

"Teachable."

Chen Liu then exited the stone pavilion and bowed to the two.

The Taoist snorted coldly, and the old monk folded his hands and returned the salute.

Then the entire stone pavilion suddenly disappeared, as if it had never appeared.

At the same time, the sky is shining!

The peak of Tantuo Temple suddenly condensed and turned into a halo.

In the depths of the clouds, in a trance, you can see a golden Buddha with low eyebrows and lowered eyes, overlooking the whirlwind.

In another place, a spring breeze suddenly rolled up between the strange rocks full of holes.

The spring breeze drilled through the hole, making bursts of strange sounds, like the sound of a crane.

Eight scenes, and then out of the top of the mountain Golden Buddha, the wind is roaring!

Li Wan and Chen Liu couldn't ease their nerves for a long time.

They fell into deep thought in front of such a spectacle, and wondered about the identity of the two masters.

"You...... Does it have anything to do with Feng Shuai?"

After Li Wan saw Chen Liu's reaction, she was a little surprised.

At that time, he was still thinking about whether to make a move with these two mysterious people, and Chen Liu dared to enter their realm directly.

The attitude that Chen Liu showed in the stone pavilion was extremely appetizing to Li Wan.

In this chess game, he wants to be a chess player, not someone else's chess piece.

When the Taoist finally broke the chessboard, he was naturally saying that if there was no strength guarantee, no matter how much thought he had was delusional.

But Chen Liu may not have power and strength, but he is different, he is backed by the entire beam, who in the world does not dare to compete?

However, Chen Liu's wisdom and courage from beginning to end made him very eager to make him his staff.

"Feng Shuai...... It's kind of an elder below."

There is no real gold content in this answer, but Li Wan is aware of the gold content.

He gets along with Fengshuai, but there is no relationship between elders and elders.

If it weren't for the gold medal of Emperor Wu in his hand, even if he was a dignified prince, he might not be able to see Fengshuai.

"I see."

Speaking of which, Li Wan also knew that most of the solicitations were useless.

So, he plans to continue with his current identity.

As long as you don't puncture the layer of window paper of his identity as the crown prince, you can still have a personal relationship with him.

At this time, Princess Mo Li, who had been away for a long time, returned.

She also had a brass bell in her hand.

"What? Tired of playing and want to go back?"

Li Wan asked dotingly.

For this imperial sister, Li Wan really doesn't have any momentum of the crown prince.

Chen Liu looked at the copper bell in her hand and felt that something was wrong.

Is this a brother-sister relationship? Or do you want to ......

And Mo Li also picked up the copper bell in his hand and said to Li Wan:

"Brother Huang, I want to hang the bell."

"Huh? Isn't this a copper bell for marriage? Do you have someone you like?"

"It's okay, it's just fun, just let him hang with me."

Mo Li pointed directly at Chen Liu, who wanted to escape but didn't know where to flee.

He could only smile bitterly.

Please ask, in this case, can the Nine Clans still be saved?
