According to the establishment of the Sun and Moon Empire's Beastmaster-level Soul Master Group, each Soul Master Group has three division leaders, one positive and two deputies.

Xia Xuanchen, who was also Wang Yiheng's deputy, blinked, as if he was blown up by the bomb thrown out by his comrades.

He subconsciously set his eyes on Wang Yiheng for knowledge, but it was the latter's equally skeptical eyes on life.

The moment their eyes met, the two completed the communication tacitly.

"Division Commander, this was not arranged by you?"

"Fart, I thought you were going to join forces to force the palace, and you didn't know in advance that he was walking alone?"

There was no need to speak, the two of them could already understand each other's meaning when they looked at each other.

(Xia Xuanchen's later appearance was as the head of the Evil Monarch Soul Mentor who succeeded Wang Yiheng, but his first appearance was as a contestant set by Huo Hang when the Sun Moon Royal Soul Mentor Academy was used by Huo Hang to sacrifice the flag during the second competition)

In the main hall of the court meeting, there was a strange silence for a while, but the person concerned did not seem to feel embarrassed.

Wen Jie was still holding a wat board, looking at the old emperor on the dragon chair with blazing eyes, as if he was upright and heartbroken for national affairs.

The rest of the ministers in the court did not speak one by one at this time, in addition to being shocked by this seemingly whimsical cannon battle and planning to wait and see for a while, they were also a little unsure of which immortal Wen Jie represented behind him.

Everyone is a colleague, and the moral standards are basically in the same depression, so let's not say those foolish words such as "out of righteous indignation", everyone is thinking about only one question - who does Wenjie represent and what is his purpose?

Seeing that the scene was cold, the minister in charge of finance couldn't help but step out first.

"Your Majesty, this year's budget was set as early as the beginning of the year, and now there is suddenly such a huge amount of spending, I am afraid that the national treasury will be really difficult to support."

"It's okay, Qin Tianjian has already predicted that this year's climate can be described as smooth and rainy, no disasters and no difficulties, and there will be no major disasters, so you can embezzle a little of the disaster relief budget saved in the past two years."

(Dou Erli does have such an institution as Qin Tianjian set up as a divination meteorology, although it was only mentioned once as a background board and became a real eunuch)

At the end of the courtiers' ranks, in the eunuch team whose sense of existence was about equal to nothing, the people from Qin Tianjian only felt that they were in a cold sweat.

The wind and rain are smooth, and there is no disaster and no difficulty...... That's what they say at the beginning of every year! Those who wear court clothes know that they can't take it seriously, it's just to ask for a lottery and say something auspicious.

As far as the scientific level of Douluo Continent is concerned, the weather forecast in a week is difficult, and predicting the climate of this year at the time of the New Year every year is at best a ritual.

However, at this time, it was obvious that someone was more serious, and the people of Qin Tianjian immediately fell into a state of helplessness - after all, they couldn't clarify that they were talking nonsense.

Fortunately, the Chancellor of the Exchequer never expected these steers to play any role, but said in a deep voice:

"Whether it costs money or not, how much money it costs, I and other professionals have done a lot of professional and accurate calculations, the deputy head of the civil division, as a military attaché, you want to meddle in how the country's finances are spent, and it is overstepping."

Wen Jie's pupils shrank when he heard this, and he was surprised as if he had a histrionic personality seizure:

"It's strange that you said that this year's budget is not affordable, and I am just giving you a little personal opinion on how to solve the problem. You don't think about whether my advice is feasible or not, and you only dwell on the little flaws behind the next piece of sincerity, which is very undeserved. ”

Wang Yiheng couldn't wait to step forward and pull Wen Jie, who had an exaggerated expression, back, but seeing that His Majesty and the crown prince hadn't yet opened their mouths to set their tone, he had to hold his legs that were about to move.

On the contrary, the minister in charge of handling the military affairs saw that the argument on the field had turned into a posture of personal attack, gritted his teeth and decided to step forward to extinguish the fire.

"Deputy Commander of the Wen Division, the Ministry of Military Affairs has such a manpower, so abruptly revising the plan and carrying out large-scale military activities, I am afraid that even the personnel who formulated the plan will not be able to muster together."

"It's easy for you to touch your lips like this, I'm afraid that in order to support a transfer of this scale, half of our country's military machinery will be shut down because of this, and the available people in the Ministry of Military Affairs will never be able to be transferred from other places......"

Although the military organization of the Sun and Moon Empire can rank first in the Douluo Continent's competition competition, it is still in a very primitive form overall, and there is no trace of an organization similar to the General Staff, and it will have to rely on the personal wisdom of the emperor and queen god of war in the future.

"What you said, I've thought about it."

Wen Jie nodded in agreement, but turned to the right color.

"However, as far as I know, the Ministry of Military Affairs has institutions and organizations in the west that are not much smaller than those in the east, and I don't know how many elites who graduated from prestigious schools are wasting their lives in the west, being depressed, and having ambitions that are difficult to ......."

"It's enough to use them all, otherwise what are they usually doing with them writing and drawing on the map of the west? Research how to use the army to resist the invasion of sea soul beasts? ”

"Or is the western branch of the Ministry of Military Affairs busy discussing what to do if another continent collides from the west? Do you treat the Sun and Moon Empire as cabbage, and can you wholesale the second piece? ”

The output rhythm of the Minister of Military Affairs was interrupted for a while.

Western Agency of the Ministry of Military Affairs...... It was a notoriously idle office, usually used to arrange for the children of the elite who went to prestigious schools to gild but did not cultivate any ability at all, or to distribute losers who were marginalized in internal struggles.

Facing the western part of the country all year round, which has no neighbors and only a sea, I am afraid that the only thing that the western organs of the Ministry of Military Affairs have to do is to occasionally suppress the rebel armies from all walks of life.

Wen Jie's series of weird low EQ eyes like self-explosion made the atmosphere in the court hall even more obscure, and everyone had their own thoughts and calculations.

Finally, His Majesty the Emperor, who was drooping his heavy eyelids, had a reaction.

"Prince, what do you think of what Wen Jie said?"

Xu Tianran, who still had a look of surprise on his face and seemed shocked by the army's lone behavior, seemed to have finally come back to his senses when he heard this, and shook his head again and again:

"The important weapon of the soldier country, such important military affairs can only be done by asking the father and the emperor to make a holy judgment."

The Emperor shook his head slowly, as if he might be able to get rid of it with a tilt of his head.

"You are the crown prince of my Sun and Moon Empire after all, you don't know anything about military affairs like this, how can I rest assured after a hundred years?"

Xu Tianran sighed secretly in his heart: "If I am so proficient in military affairs, I am afraid that you will not be able to rest assured of me before I die."

"Deputy Division Commander Wen has a good saying, all the people dare to raid Mingde Hall today, dare to attack and kill you Aiqing tomorrow, and I am afraid that they will dare to assassinate me the day after tomorrow!"

The old emperor said in a deep voice, but listening to his voice, it was as if something was blocking his throat.

"Are you still willing to share your worries for me?"

The ministers in the audience said in unison: "The ministers are willing to share the worries of Your Majesty!" ”

It's just that at this time, I asked them how to share His Majesty's worries, and they must not be able to hold back a fart for a long time.

"Prince, tell me, what should I do with the opinion of Deputy Division Commander Wen?"

Why is this still holding on to me?

Xu Tianran suppressed a little boredom in his heart and shirked:

"Father, military affairs are by no means child's play, since you should think twice, you should also give your ministers some time to think, it is better to discuss it later."

"It's okay, then listen to the prince, and we will discuss it in three days."

The ministers breathed a sigh of relief, they didn't need to express their stance on the spot, as long as they left some time to connect them, it would be much more comfortable.

After the dispersal, Jing Hongchen, who returned to Mingde Hall, was anxious, he felt as if he was surrounded by an invisible net again, and the smell of intrigue and intrigue had penetrated into his nostrils.

"Grandpa...... Why are you so worried, the funds for the reconstruction of Mingde Hall are stuck? ”

Meng Hongchen, who had just taken Ye Guyi to see the Mingdu Auction House, which can be called the ability to devour wealth like a gold cave, returned to Mingde Hall and found that Jing Hongchen's state was obviously not very right.

"It's more troublesome than that......"

Looking at his favorite granddaughter, Jing Hongchen directly told her about the changes when he was close to the scattered dynasty.

Wen Jie...... I'm not very familiar with it, but grandpa, you're right, it's so abnormal. Grandpa, what do you think? ”

"Me? From the perspective of me and Mingdetang, nothing is necessary, and no matter what His Majesty decides in the end, it will not have any important impact on us. But my grandfather was worried that something I didn't know would make me make a mistake and cause disaster. ”

Jing Hongchen is still worried about the mastermind behind the scenes. Mingdetang may be an arms dealer, but Jing Hongchen himself is not a warmonger.

The main reason is that he himself has no hope for any further, and his current hope is to wait for the children to be promoted to Title Douluo and completely consolidate the status of the Hongchen family.

So...... Even if you really want to fight, it's better not now, at least wait for those little guys to have the weather and the ability to take a big bite on the cake of war dividends.

Anyway, part of the armament will be steadily updated every year, this is the golden rice bowl that Mingdetang has always held, and Jing Hongchen's desire to make war money is not very strong.

"Hall Master!"

Just as Jing Hongchen was frowning, there was a knock on the door, and someone sent the latest news.

"Mr. Kong, please."

…………

Shrek City, night.

Huo Yuhao looked at the decorations of the shops in Shrek City, wandering around as a tourist.

"It doesn't feel any different than when I came a few years ago."

Huo Yuhao put his hands in his pockets and said to Xiao Hongchen, who was acting as a tour guide beside him.

In order to save the first travel fee, he sold grilled fish in Shrek City for a while, and he must not know anything about Shrek City.

It's just that time has passed, but his mentality has changed much from back then.

For example, in order to save the first pot of gold, Huo Yuhao could only salivate at all kinds of attractive goods in Shrek City, and he couldn't pay at all. When he left Shrek City and ran away, he didn't want to buy anything except a few essential supplies.

Right now...... I still didn't buy a single thing.

Some things that used to be coveted only in the shop window, Huo Yuhao has become accustomed to treating them as daily intermittent supplements, and he really can't afford to pay for them, after all, he can eat and drink at public expense when he goes back in a few days.

As for some of the good things that are special to Shrek City, Yan Shaozhe hasn't given a specific and clear answer yet, obviously it's delayed, but Huo Yuhao didn't care too much, he was able to get something after all, just see what he lacks before leaving and make up for it.

As for more famous auction houses such as the Starlight Auction House, Gu Xiaohongchen said that there is nothing worth paying attention to in the past few days.

The two passed by a street corner, and the originally noisy street seemed to press the mute button, not only did all kinds of noise disappear, but even the atmosphere became a little mysterious and tempting.

There is a kitsch scent in the air.

Huo Yuhao turned his head to see that the width of the alley on his right hand was obviously half narrower than a normal street, and the source of a series of changes was this alley.

On the second floor of the building where the alley meets the main road, several strings of huge red lanterns hang on it, looking inexplicably festive, as if beckoning people to come in for a feast.

Huo Yuhao stretched out his hand and pointed to the strings of huge red lanterns, and said:

"Laugh, what kind of place is this, I don't feel like it's a ......"

Noticing that Huo Yuhao twisted and turned, he arrived at this place without paying attention, Xiao Hongchen's face changed, and he hurriedly stepped forward and pressed Huo Yuhao's head, and stretched out his hand to block Huo Yuhao's eyes.

"This is the notorious red light district, if you dare to enter this kind of place, I will fight for you for the dream!"

Hearing this name that verified his guess, the corners of Huo Yuhao's mouth twitched, but then a smile appeared.

"Have you forgotten that I have psychic detection, and I don't need to open my eyes to ...... I'm blanching! ”

Huo Yuhao's complexion changed suddenly, and the flying soul guide behind him, which was originally in a hidden state, was activated in an instant, and the two wings stretched out at a speed beyond normal under the urging of soul power with the sound of breaking wind.

"Huh?!"

Xiao Hongchen was stunned by Huo Yuhao's sudden exclamation, but what made him even more stunned was still to come, Huo Yuhao not only suddenly activated the flying soul guide, but also directly hugged his waist and took him up to the ground at the fastest speed!

The figures of the two had barely left the ground for a moment when their original position was enveloped by a violent explosion.

"Huo Yuhao, did you provoke someone to assassinate you again?"

Xiao Hongchen, whose brain was spinning rapidly, suddenly asked.

"Why didn't I concoct you?"

"Nonsense, I've been in Shrek City for so long, and you've already done it if you want to deal with me!"

Although the trash talk on his lips was endless, Huo Yuhao's movements did not stop, and the flying soul guide took him and Xiao Hongchen quickly out of the original explosion zone.

A string of huge red lanterns fell with a "bang" from the second floor on the side of the alley, and a series of exclamations and angry curses resounded throughout the alley.

Pedestrians on the street began to flee the moment the explosion sounded, and the chaotic rush to escape exacerbated the chaos, triggering a series of stampedes.

Xiao Hongchen swallowed his saliva, with a lingering look of shock in his eyes.

"It doesn't matter who of us starts...... Dare to use force in Shrek City, do they want to die? ”
