Zhao Lingyu said: "Going back hundreds of years, there have also been Manchu and Mongolian ethnic groups who have entered the Central Plains, but after a few years, they were all assimilated by the Han people, and their own tribe gradually disappeared. Daqi generations live by water and grass, nomadic living, the Central Plains is indeed a world of flowers, but in fact, it is not suitable for Daqi, stealing that the lord of the country should take this as a warning. ”

Dai Luosi interjected at this time: "What the eldest princess said is not sensational, but if you allow the Heng Dynasty to occupy the Central Plains, do you know that you will not go west and annex me after you sit down?"

Zhao Lingyu looked at Dai Luosi and said, "This is Her Royal Highness the Lady of the Holy Palace, although she is really young, she has extraordinary knowledge, I will answer your question." ”

"First, to put it straight to the point, even if I get the Central Plains, the first thing I have to deal with is the threat of the Jing Dynasty and the Wen Dynasty. ”

"Second, if Daqi takes advantage of the disputes in the Central Plains to expand in other directions at the same time, he can establish a broad strategic depth, coupled with the courage of the Huns, and there is no need to stick to one place, I want to annex Daqi, in the eyes of this princess, it must be difficult and the gains outweigh the losses. ”

"Third, taking a step back, even if there is a war between you and me sooner or later, it will not be until our DPRK reunifies and stabilizes the situation in the Central Plains, which is at least thirty or fifty years, and at most unpredictable. In my opinion, it's a matter for the next generation, so why should we worry so much about it now?"

Dai Luosi nodded and shook her head: "What the princess said is very frank, I think the previous words are reasonable, but the so-called people have no long-term worries, considering that the way out in the future is the responsibility of our generation, even if it is in its position, we have to take a long-term view, and we can't ignore the livelihood and even life and death of my future generations because of temporary small profits." ”

Zhao Lingyu raised his eyebrows and said, "Then how does Her Royal Highness think it will be in line with the long-term interests of both you and me?"

Dai Luosi replied: "The princess is so frank, then I will say it bluntly." The Heng Dynasty wanted to form an alliance with the surrounding three countries, naturally considering that it would be difficult to eat the Dust Dynasty on its own. ”

"Thinking that my Daqi and Chenchao have been fighting on the front line of Xiyuguan for many years, and no one can help anyone, we can choose to stand by and not participate, but focus on expanding in other directions as you said, and wait for the Central Plains dispute to have results before making plans. ”

"Therefore, the population of the grassland is only a few hundred miles away, which is really not very attractive to us. ”

Zhao Lingyu smiled and said, "That's what the princess said. However, as far as I know, the various ethnic groups within Daqi are mixed, but it cannot be said to be as solid as a rock, and Daqi will inevitably have some constraints if he wants to wave his army to open up, and if he chooses to cooperate with us, as long as he makes a situation to contain the defenders of Xiyuguan of the Dust Dynasty, he can get a lot of territory at his fingertips, why not do it?"

Dai Luosi also smiled and said: "The eldest princess is really well-informed, and I don't hide it, there are some young people in Daqi who want to subvert the rule of the royal court, but how can I also hear that the Kazakhs in the north of the Heng Dynasty are also perennial Chen soldiers across the border, and they are eyeing your country? Aren't you worried that once the war in the Central Plains is protracted, the Kazakhs will take the opportunity to make trouble?"

The two women are smiling and talking, but in fact, they are-for-tat inside and out, implying mystery.

Zhao Lingyu saw that Dai Luosi did not fall behind in the slightest, and instead said: "Her Royal Highness the princess has seen thousands of miles, so I'll say it differently." ”

"Looking at the situation on the continent today, although the Dust Dynasty has a lot of land and resources, it has been fighting against the surrounding four countries for many years, and the national strength has been weakening. ”

"The Jing Dynasty in the south, backed by the sea, acquired a lot of advanced weapons through trade with overseas, and their armies were limited in number but well-equipped, and they were good at armament and technology. ”

"The east has a long history of culture, humanities and education is beyond the reach of other countries, and the business is developed, although the current military combat power is slightly inferior, but over the years on the one hand, relying on the accumulation of wealth to continue to strengthen the army, on the other hand, through cultural export to enhance the influence, the national strength is thriving. ”

"Although the territory of our Heng Dynasty is not large, the land is fertile, the grain production is abundant, the people are well fed and clothed, and the strong force formed by the perennial war with the Kazakhs is not weaker than the other three countries. ”

"On the other hand, the situation in the country is tense, the people rely on the sky for food, and the rangers are indeed brave, but due to the influence of the weather and harvest, there is a small half of the year that needs to be recuperated, which is not conducive to continuous combat. ”

"Therefore, I think that your country should still take the expansion of land and increase the population as the top priority, the land I said is rich in water and grass, and the population is quite large, and the important thing is that the price paid is very small, and I hope that the lord and the royal highness will see our sincerity and consider it carefully. ”

Dai Luosi bowed her head lightly and continued: "Although Sister Zhao is a woman, she can see the general trend of the world clearly and thoroughly, and Dai Luosi admires it very much. ”

"However, as you said, Daqi lags behind you in terms of lifestyle and production technology, and because of this, we need to catch up, we need to learn and improve, we advocate the territory of Xiyuguan is not trying to encroach on the Central Plains, we want advanced technology and resources. ”

So, to sum it up. First of all, the situation in Daqi is not to worry about my sister. Secondly, we need land and population, but we can choose to fight it by our own force. Third, if the Heng Dynasty is really sincere, it will either give us Xiyuguan, or provide us with technology in farming, ore smelting, textile weaving, and firearms forging outside the land. ”

The two women argued for a long time, and finally came to the end and fell to the specific exchange of interests.

Zhao Lingyu saw that Dai Luosi had a tough attitude, lowered his head and thought for a moment and said: "That's it, it's late at night, everyone is tired, you can give me a list of specific needs first, I'll go back and think about it, let's find time to continue further discussions." ”

The two sides got up to say goodbye, and Dai Luo Sidai Mordington sent Zhao Lingyu out of the palace.

Hua Lanting secretly thought that the royal families of various countries really spared no effort in the education of their children in their future generations, and the two daughters were only in their twenties, but they both had such insight and eloquence.

He got this information and needed to go back to digest and think, and he also thought about going to the underground of the blacksmith shop to check the amount of treasures left by the Marquis of Qingyuan, so he dodged and went out of the palace, and saw that Zhao Lingyu's convoy was also heading towards the west of the city, so he followed for a while.

When they came to a fork in the road, Zhao Lingyu's car turned, and Hua Lanting continued to go west.

didn't go far, with Hua Lanting's sensitive perception, he heard a fierce fighting sound in the direction where Zhao Lingyu's car was going, and after hesitating, Hua Lanting rushed over with light skills, hiding in a corner and looking out of the shadows.

Someone hijacked Zhao Lingyu's convoy!

Take a closer look, the attackers are about thirty people, the first is a young man with an ape-backed bee waist and beautiful eyebrows, who is holding a sword in his left hand to fight against the three eldest princess guards, the sword road is wide open and magnificent, but the sword intent is light and chic, such as the painter swaying the hook points on the rice paper at will, which seems to be chaotic but is actually a bamboo in the chest, often a few strokes have been formed, and even Hua Lanting secretly applauded.

The number of the eldest princess's guards is not large, only fifteen or sixteen people, but all of them are good at choosing one out of a thousand, three of them only protect the princess in the middle and do not participate in the battle, the three strong ones were mixed by the young son, but the others resisted more than 20 assassins but showed that they were calm and calm, and even had the intention of gradually starting to fight back.

At this time, three more people turned out from behind a carriage, and Hua Lanting immediately recognized two of them as Lu Mantian's brothers and sisters!

The two were quite embarrassed at this time.

Originally, Lu Mantian's meteor chain hammer and Lu Xiaocui's short knife complemented each other well, but their opponents were not only skilled in martial arts, but also had a left shield in their hands and a gun in their right.

Zhao Lingyu saw that the situation was superior, and he waved his hand to send two people to join the battle group against the young son, striving to gain an advantage by fighting more and fighting less in this place.

At this time, the Lu Mantian brothers and sisters became more and more weak, their opponent struck away the meteor hammer of Lu Mantian with a shield, and stabbed the gun in his right hand to take advantage of the momentum to Lu Xiaocui's thigh.

This person is Min Yuemei. She lived in the same room with Lu Xiaocui, and when she saw Lu Xiaocui sneaking up in the middle of the night and sneaking out, she followed her and hid aside to watch, seeing that Lu Xiaocui was in danger, she appeared to the rescue, and the three of them worked together to barely block each other's attack.

The young man at this time with one enemy five is also a lot of pressure, I saw that he took out a short sword and held it in his right hand to start a sword technique, his right hand sword and the left hand sword The atmosphere is very different, and he takes a small and ruthless road, the sword is treacherous and sudden, and the two swordsmanship of the two-handed sword are not sluggish at all in his use, and they are natural, and he immediately regains the upper hand in the situation, and the opponent five people are overstretched and in a hurry.

Hua Lanting also remembered who this young man was at this time, Lu Mantian had talked to him on the way to Wangcheng, and praised him. This person is Fang Qingya, the lord of the Dazhai of Cutting Dragon Ridge, that is, the person who was replaced by Hualan Court to participate in the Hengqin Peak gathering, who was originally an officer of the Dust Dynasty, and was later dispersed in the war and pulled the flag in Cutting Dragon Ridge.

Fang Qingya and the other three are known as the four rising rookies in martial arts, and there is a saying that Qingya Bailu and Zihong are talking about these four people. Fang Qingya is famous for his two hands distracted and making double swords, the long sword swordsmanship is called splashing ink freehand, and the short sword swordsmanship is called the blank small inscription poem, known as the first swordsmanship in the young generation, and countless enemies have been defeated.

Fang Qingya had an obvious advantage here, but his companions couldn't hold it anymore, and the situation became even more critical as another idle guard joined the battle group with his twin swords.

The guard took advantage of Min Yuemei's iron soap tassel spear being pressed by the shield, and slashed at her neck, Min Yuemei crossed the body of the gun to block, but the man's right hand knife stabbed obliquely, Min Yuemei had no choice but to dodge sideways, but it was inevitable that she would be injured in the shoulder.

At the critical moment, a light and shadow flew in the distance and smashed the blade, and it was Hua Lanting who sent out an iron lotus seed to rescue in the dark.

Fang Qingya looked around, knowing that it was difficult to succeed in assassinating the eldest princess of the Heng Dynasty tonight according to the tip, and the attempt to sabotage the alliance between the two countries would not succeed, he attacked several swords in a row to force back five opponents, and shouted: "The idea is hard, the wind is tight!" After that, he used his double swords to cover everyone's retreat, and before leaving, he also glanced at Hua Lanting's hiding place.

The eldest princess did not chase after her, and when she saw the assassin retreating, she returned to her residence, stepped up her protection and informed the Great Odds, which was not expressed.

Hua Lanting saw that the road was full of them, and they were fine, and they also turned back to the Manhan blacksmith shop.

He saw Yuan Miao and told him what happened on Hengqin Peak, Yuan Miao didn't care very much about the political dispute, but agreed with Hua Lanting's subjugation of the Hejian Shuangsha, saying that these two people were strong in martial arts and could help in the future.

Hua Lanting wanted to go underground to explore the treasure situation, his cultivation no longer needed to rely on a long time of sleep to regain energy, just pranayama and meditated for an hour to complete his energy, and then led by Yuan Miao from the secret passage into the fifty zhang deep underground, but unexpectedly found a secret inside, difficult to solve.
