"Princess, aren't you going back?"

On the bustling streets of Liuzhou, the palace maid Yun Niang followed closely behind Xiao Mingxue, and Xiao Mingxue walked here and there like a curious baby, seeing that it was almost dark, the palace maid had to urge.

"This time flies so fast" The bright Xiao Mingxue looked at the sky, although it is winter, the days are short and the nights are long, and the sky gets dark relatively quickly, but he has not come out to walk around before noon, how does this time feel like flying over?

The palace maid couldn't help but glance blankly: "Like the princess, you have to ask for most of the day about every new thing, there are so many novelties in the south of the Yangtze River, where is the time for you to use the princess?" ”

"Curious" Xiao Mingxue smiled mischievously, and the palace maid was stunned.

After awakening the bloodline, this ancestor originally became extremely cold, but in the past few days since he came to Jiangnan, it was like ice and snow melting, as soft as the spring rain, and from time to time he would reveal the naughtiness that this kind of girl should have.

The palace maid's heart softened.

She originally wanted to follow this princess to Jiangnan, and then find a local scholar or school captain to marry, so she quit this errand of serving people early.

But now after a few days, she is more and more reluctant to give up on the other party, such a bright bead exudes such a soft light, where can a woman like her be reluctant?

But it's no wonder that His Highness is in such a good mood every day

The palace maid looked at the sky that seemed to have been washed, and took a deep breath, compared to the ghostly capital, this is simply a complete opposite, she has lived in the royal city for so many years, and has never seen such a place, even the vendors who fry scallion pancakes on the street, every day is happy, the people here. Always with a smile on your face.

It hardly takes to probe to know that the people here. All had a good time.

Only if you have a good life, will you have such a full spirit, such a gentle smile, such a place with very little anger, and a picturesque prosperous scenery, this is not a paradise, this is simply a prosperous paradise.

"Your Highness, the days are still long, you can come every day if you want to go shopping in the future, and if you don't go back now, the old lady should be worried again."

As soon as she heard the old lady, Xiao Mingxue smiled embarrassedly, before she came, she had been thinking about how to get along with Chen Qing's old mother, in the information, Chen Qing was raised by her mother, and the status of this mother was naturally very high, if she was not easy to get along with, how should she tolerate it.

But it turns out that she is too worried, the old lady does not have so many rules, and even quite enthusiastic, shh

There is no identity to say, just an old lady who is looking forward to her son giving birth to a baby as soon as possible, and a shy daughter-in-law who is just getting started.

"Yes. When my mother went out, she also said that she would stew duck soup tonight, but she couldn't wait for a long time. As he spoke, he hurriedly walked back to the road.

The palace maid followed behind, smiling slightly, His Royal Highness has no mother, his personality is much more lonely and cold, the old lady's enthusiasm and hush and warmth are sincere, which just makes up for what His Royal Highness originally lost in his heart, she can live so happily now, the old lady accounts for a lot of reasons.

What a lucky little girl.

And neither of them noticed that behind the two of them, there was a young man in white who had been following just now, and this young man was none other than Liuzhou Yin Si Chenghuang: Wei Gongcheng.

Looking at Xiao Mingxue, who was in a hurry home, Wei Gongcheng nodded slightly, turned around and took a step, and suddenly came to the Liuzhou Mansion.

He didn't deliberately follow it, but happened to see it just now, so he observed.

To be honest, when he heard that Xiao Mingxue awakened the Jinwu bloodline, he was more worried, as long as the Xiao family awakened the bloodline, they were basically ambitious, and now the pattern of Liuzhou is sensitive, she is a new housewife, if she wants to meddle in some powerful things, it is likely to cause some unnecessary trouble.

Especially Chen Ying's piece.

It is impossible for the military, and the best thing to start with is actually Chen Ying's status and resources in the academy, but in Wei Gongcheng's opinion, Chen Ying has done an excellent job, and the dean of the academy is a top warlock himself, which is very important, if Xiao Mingxue wants to have a mind, it will be really troublesome.

Because once political affairs involve the lord's family affairs, it is extremely difficult for foreign ministers.

In the mansion, Chen Qing was waiting in the lobby early, Wei Gongcheng glanced at it, and was slightly surprised, the seven major yin divisions are here, and I am afraid that this discussion is not a trivial matter!

"Wei Gongcheng is here, sit down." Chen Qing casually pointed to the seat.

Wei Gongcheng saluted, then sat down along the position pointed by the other party, looked around, and his heart was slightly complicated.

Three years ago. He is still a deputy general under Yu Chipeng, saying that he is a deputy general, in fact, everyone knows that he is just a slave, especially after being abolished, when he stays in Wei Chi's house, he will even be despised by regular house slaves.

Even if he didn't scrap it back then, in the end in the eyes of many big people, I'm afraid he was just a powerful house slave, right?

Three years ago, this young man came to himself to solicit himself, promising to give himself what Wei Chi's family couldn't give, at that time he just wanted to escape from Wei Chi's family, not to send people under the fence, originally planned to go to Jiangnan, just find an excuse, and leave to be self-reliant.

Unexpectedly, in just a few years, this teenager achieved everything he promised back then.

looked around, and on an equal footing with him, he was a big man who could only look up to him, Shen Sanye, Shen Erye, these people, which of these people is not a figure who can have a status in the imperial court Jiuqing?

Ziyue, as well as the ancient royal family Zhen, has never discriminated against when getting along with him, although his eyes are flat, but because of this, he will sit up straight, because he doesn't know when, in the eyes of the other party, they are all the same people as them.

He. It is the city god of Liuzhou Yin Division, ranking first among the seven Yin Divisions, and the existence of wealthy families in the capital vying for the first place!

"Everyone is together, let's talk about the current situation first" Chen Qing coughed lightly and said: "In the past half a year, the Central Plains has begun to have obvious turmoil, the strength of the demons in the world has expanded, and the capital's control over the Central Plains is getting weaker and weaker. ”

"Give up?" The others are nothing, but Wei Gongcheng, who grew up under the prosperous Great Jin Dynasty, still can't react for a while.

He never imagined that one day the Great Jin would take the initiative to give up the territory.

"It's normal, now it's different from the past, there must be a trade-off on the side of the capital" Chen Qing pointed to the ground, and a huge map appeared on the ground.

"The Central Plains region is huge, even if you lose the position of the north and the four seas, its territory is ten times higher than that of the south of the Yangtze River, such a huge territory, in the current situation, it needs enough military strength and warlocks to maintain law and order, the current royal family. I can't do it anymore."

Wei Gongcheng looked at the map, and after a little thought, he also understood the reason.

I also suddenly understood why the Lord spent countless resources to raise such a huge army in a land the size of Jiangnan!

The proportion of soldiers in Jiangnan is definitely beyond their common sense, the scale of the Doushen Army is now above one million, and the Western Navy is now approaching 300,000, not to mention the gate guards in the major cities and the mountain guards in the mountains.

Taking Liuzhou as an example, there are more than 50,000 resident men in Liuzhou, and Daqingshan, as the largest granary and agricultural experiment base in Liuzhou, is now full of 10,000 people.

Before the Great Jin Dynasty, he didn't dare to think that it would take 10,000 soldiers to defend a mountain?

But yesterday, after hearing the news that there was a worm demon attack in Qinghe Sijuan, killing and injuring millions of people, he immediately understood the Lord's arrangement.

In this era, if there is not enough military strength, where can we keep this prosperous world?

The number of troops before the Great Jin Dynasty was naturally able to hold the territory of the Great Jin Dynasty, but now it is different, the strength of the demons has expanded, and there are more and more large-scale demon incidents, resulting in the main cities of the states are not very safe now, and the major wealthy merchants have fled to the capital.

In this case, shrinking the forces is a last resort for the imperial court, because if the troops are dispersed, nothing will be held.

Shrinking the forces can at least ensure the safety of the capital and the surrounding important cities, and if the troops are dispersed again, the capital will not be able to be peaceful, and the royal family will really have no prestige.

"I called you here today to discuss two things." Chen Qing opened his mouth and said: "First, whether to expand the territory, and second, whether we want to enter the game on the other side of the Northern Wilderness!" ”
