The time entered the middle of December, and the atmosphere in the whole capital suddenly became tense. Although the gates of the capital have not yet been closed, everyone knows that it is not far from the four gates.

The entire imperial court, even the emperor, was eager to order the city gates to be closed now. Everyone knows that the invasion is near. A large number of refugees entering the city are right in front of you.

The interracial who got the benefit last year. It was learned that the army of the Great Zheng Dynasty was vulnerable. Probably not coming? The greedy heart will only grow greedy. In the eyes of other races, the Great Zheng Dynasty is a piece of fat. Don't eat for nothing, don't eat.

Seeing the footsteps of the alien invasion approaching. The imperial court still needs to be faced. It is impossible to close the gates for no reason. Anyway, the order has been issued, as long as a large number of refugees appear near the capital. The gates will be closed.

As the New Year approached, there was no news of an alien invasion. The refugees who enter the capital every winter are also nowhere to be seen. Who can tell me what's going on? The Emperor of the Jinluan Palace asked loudly.

This year's Beizhili grain harvest is rare. There were no large numbers of hungry people in the capital. The imperial court was very uncomfortable. I have been accustomed to it for many years, and a large number of hungry people pour into the capital every winter.

Especially this year, how could it be that even the aliens did not come. Are they especially kind? Or did you grab too much last year? It's just incredible. As a result, there are no hungry people in the capital this year, there is no foreign invasion, but it is not so steady!

Of course, Li Miao knew what the reason was. Have mixed feelings. Of course, there are more joys and fewer sorrows. This year's alien race did not plunder the northern lands on a large scale. gave Li Miao a year of development time. Next year's Li Miao will only be stronger.

First of all, this year's Jurchens didn't come at all. Some of the steppe Tartars came, and the number of them was simply not comparable to last year. Last year, I came to the Great Zheng Dynasty to fight for my life. Almost out of the nest. This year, I came to the Great Zheng Dynasty to pick up the cheap.

Last year, the Datong and Zhangjiakou areas were broken. The surrounding area was devastated. This year, the steppe Tatars chose the Chengde Province to invade. As a result, it happened to be Li Miao's key defense area.

The Northern Bureau has adopted a strategy of clearing the wilderness in the border areas. It's not that they burned down the granges of the surrounding people. Instead, he concentrated the belongings and grain of the surrounding people in his own grange.

As a result, as soon as the steppe Tartars entered the boundary of Chengde Prefecture, they either flew into the air, or they went and had no return. Within a few hundred miles of land, not only did there be no harvest. And it also lost its troops.

Plus this time I'm here to pick up property, not to work hard. In addition, their cattle and sheep and other grain and grass were also insufficient. There were no supplies in Chengde Province. On the contrary, the loss is not small. So, in desperation, the steppe Tatars chose to retreat.

Li Miao's operation successfully protected the northern region. So that the steppe Tartars returned in vain this year. And the Northern Bureau organized a large number of guards, and there was not much gain at all. In total, less than two thousand horses were captured.

It's not as good as the harvest of a thousand-acre grange in Changping last year. A large number of guards did not receive merit and wealth. The first 300 outstanding meritorious people promised by Li Miao do not know how to arrange the heavy rewards.

In total, there were less than three hundred guards who received meritorious service. So Li Miao is a mixed bag. Overall, the pros outweigh the cons. The point is that this group of guards cannot be withdrawn yet, and must hold out until the end of January.

To a certain extent, Li Miao's winter operation this year is a big loss. In terms of economic benefits, it is a loss of money. But from a political point of view, Li Miao has achieved great success.

Hit the arrogance of the steppe Tartars. Escort the sustainable development of the northern economy. It has laid a solid foundation for the rapid development of the Shunfeng Transport Dart Bureau next year.

As for the reward for 300 guards, how to arrange? How to mobilize the enthusiasm of those guards who run for nothing? After all, Li Miao still has to think about the border guard next year. If the motivation of these guards is gone. What to do next year?

In short, Li Miao felt a little like a punch was in the air. A large number of guards and dart masters were dispatched. A lot of material resources were used, but few were gained. The key is the enthusiasm of the guards and dart masters who came to support.

Most of them are from the Northern Bureau, and some of them are drawn from the Southern Bureau and the Liaodong Bureau. It can be said that they rushed all the way to the border to support. The result? Most of the guards didn't even earn merit points.

Therefore, Li Miao has ordered Wang Yonggui and Li Shi to formulate reward and punishment measures to resist the invasion of foreign races this winter and support the guards and dart masters of the border grange. Wang Yonggui and Li Shi are also big-headed. The two discussed for a few days, but they couldn't come up with a good plan.

On this day, Li Miao walked aimlessly in the backyard. When passing by Miaoyu's courtyard, he saw Miaoyu alone in a daze in the tea room, so Li Miao walked in meaningfully. Miaoyu, who was in a daze, didn't even notice that Li Miao was sitting opposite her.

Li Miao looked at Miaoyu, who was full of Taoist rhyme. That charm attracted Li Miao deeply. Li Miao had already forgotten about hanging Miaoyu at this time.

Li Miao began to release her Dao Yun, and she didn't dare to release too much. Soon, Li Miao's Dao rhyme wrapped Miaoyu's Dao rhyme. Miaoyu came to her senses instantly. I felt that Li Miao's Dao rhyme wrapped her own Dao rhyme.

Miaoyu was startled at first, then understood what was happening. Although Li Miao's Dao rhyme is not much, Miaoyu feels that Li Miao's Dao rhyme is all-encompassing. At this time, Li Miao's Dao Yun was naturally sucked around her body by Miaoyu.

Miaoyu is like a primary school student, carefully experiencing Li Miao's Taoist rhyme. Li Miao is also experiencing the rhyme of Miaoyu. After a little experience, Li Miao felt that Miaoyu's Taoist rhyme was more solid than himself in the Taoist system.

The Taoist rhyme that Miaoyu comprehends is a pure Taoist system. Although it is only the realm of the first glimpse of the doorway. But it helped Li Miao a lot. Li Miao is a wild man who understands everything. It can be said that the scope is wide and all-encompassing.

Li Miao also did not have a complete enlightenment system. I've always been thinking about it myself. Although it can't be fully grasped the essence of Miaoyu. But Li Miao also benefited a lot. And Miaoyu is not to mention now, eagerly absorbing Li Miao's Dao Yun essence.

Li Miao's Dao rhyme, although Miaoyu can only understand a rough idea. But it pointed out the direction for Miaoyu. Miaoyu comprehended the rhyme of the Tao very early on by chance. But for so many years, there has been no progress in the realm.

This time, the master went to Beijing with her to help Miaoyu find opportunities. Miaoyu's master himself did not comprehend the Tao rhyme. I have never found anyone who can comprehend the rhyme.

When Miaoyu's master learned of Miaoyu's situation, it was much like the comprehension of Daoyun described in the ancient scrolls. How could Miaoyu's master not be ecstatic? It's not good to make Miaoyu more precious, and go around looking for opportunities for Miaoyu.

Only those who comprehend the Tao rhyme can be called a master of the Tao. According to the ancient scrolls, there are very few such people. Each one of them is an amazing character. How could Miaoyu's master not be ecstatic?

To have such a disciple will definitely be a matter of the lintel of the light gate in the future. For so many years, she has also been looking for opportunities for Miaoyu and running around. And take care of Miaoyu's possession of Dao Yun, and never mention it to anyone.

This is not only related to Miaoyu's path, but also to Miaoyu's net worth.

Although Miaoyu's master does not have a rhyme, his fortune telling is extremely accurate. Calculated Miaoyu's fate in the capital. So, despite his poor health. Accompanied Miaoyu to the capital to find opportunities. Even before he died, he calculated a hexagram for Miaoyu.

Therefore, before Miaoyu's master died, he took care that Miaoyu did not have to return to Gusu. Instead, I found a family in the capital to stay. Keep looking for opportunities. Miaoyu never thought of her chance, it turned out to be in the Li Mansion. It's Li Miao.

And it's Li Miao, who has always wanted to commit to him these days. Sometimes the fate can't stop it, and Miaoyu's Dao rhyme has improved from the early stage of the first peek of the door path to the middle of the first peek of the door. There is still no sign of stopping.

Miaoyu's realm continues to improve. Miaoyu's face turned red with excitement. It's like it's going to drip blood. Miaoyu enjoyed Li Miao's rhyme at the same time. It was also influenced by the double cultivation rhyme in Li Miao's Taoist rhyme. Shortness of breath.

Li Miao was also awakened by the rapid rotation of the glass ball. Now the glass ball is reminding Li Miao to start. Li Miao understands Miaoyu's character. It should be no problem to succeed now, but what about later?

Li Miao observed Miaoyu's current state. If Li Miao came to Miaoyu now, she might be insulted by her. So what to do after that? Miaoyu, who has come to her senses, will definitely blame herself in the future.

Li Miao got her people, but she couldn't get her heart. As a result, Li Miao began to converge on the rhyme. looked at Miaoyu, whose face was flushed and her legs were still moving. Li Miao finally chose to leave.
