Fang Ling said: "The number of people in the Zhu Department is already the largest, and the number of the Zhou Department is the same as that of the Xu Department, if they form an alliance, they should be the largest in terms of number and strength." ”

Commander Li sighed: "Yes, our royal family has more than 800 people, but the strength is only more than 300, the Xu Department has 1,500 people, the strength is more than 600, the Zhou Department is almost more than 600, and the Zhu Department has more than 2,000 people and more than 800 troops. And Zhu Conghou is very ambitious, I even suspect that he wants to replace the emperor!"

Xi Zhengyong said lightly: "It seems that there must be a mystery in his desire to meet the four parts." However, the reason why he has not moved is because my imperial city is the strongest defense and is heavily guarded, even if I gather thousands of soldiers and horses, it may not be pleased. Second, if you want to send troops, you must be justified and convinced by the people. No matter what he wanted to plan, it was also a rare opportunity to be able to get the four to gather. ”

Commander Li also nodded and said, "Yes, the war between the two departments is a disaster for all people." ”

Fang Ling listened to the conversation between the two, looked at the direction in which Zhu Conghou left, and secretly said that this is really a big deal, this Zhu Conghou is arrogant and domineering, obviously coveting the imperial power, if he really makes him the emperor, then this borrowed army is estimated to become a phantom.

Xi Zhengyong said to Fang Ling at this time: "I'm sorry, this is not a peaceful and prosperous world, I'm afraid it's much worse than the outside world, right?"

Fang Ling came back to his senses and said with a smile, "The emperor has a benevolent heart, and this is the most important thing. ”

Xi Zhengyong laughed, and said with a little curiosity: "I don't know what the situation is like outside?" In the past three hundred years, people in my clan have also gone out to inquire about the situation, but because they can't stay outside for a long time, they don't know much, especially in the past ten years, and they don't know what the outside world has become. ”

Fang Ling said: "The outside world is similar to ten years ago, but the national wars are gradually becoming more frequent, and now the border between Chu and Cai is not stable." ”

Xi Zhengyong nodded, and said to Commander Li: "Find two capable people to be Fang Gongzi's guards, so that Fang Gongzi can familiarize himself with the environment here." ”

So, Commander Li called two guards, both of whom were young people around 20 years old, good-looking and energetic, the slightly stronger one was called Zhao Meng, and the thinner one was called Wei Cheng.

Xi Zhengyong smiled: "You are the one who brought my daughter back, that is, my benefactor of Xi Zhengyong, so you don't have to worry about living here, you can go and take a look in this imperial city, but it's best not to go out of the city, by the way, Zhao Meng, you take my token and take Fang Gongzi to get an antidote grass!"

Hearing the lead plant, Zhao Meng couldn't help but be slightly stunned, but Fang Ling said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I don't have any symptoms now, this detoxification herb is not needed for the time being, and Village Chief Ge also gave me a bag of green silk pills, let's talk about it when I need it." ”

Seeing that Fang Ling was so considerate, Xi Zhengyong couldn't help but say with relief: "Okay, then Fang Gongzi, you can go down and rest first." ”

So, Zhao Meng and the others took Fang Ling to a palace in the deep palace, although this is the world at the bottom of the valley, but the rules in the palace are the same as the outside world, and the news is obviously spreading quickly, there are not many people in the palace, but the people who pass by along the way seem to have heard the news that the little princess was brought by a foreign boy, and they are very regular after meeting Fang Ling.
