Jue looked around and didn't find any enemies.

"Alright, put away your weapons, Cohen. It is estimated that there are no enemies. Jue said.

Cohen slowly put away his weapon.

"The smell of blood just now is ......"

"I don't know, but it's certainly not a good thing. Jue said and looked around.

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

"Lord Jue. "Nuo Xiaoyi came in," according to intelligence, a group of nobles blocked their warehouses and part of the road, and now the goods have been cut off. ”

"Hmm?!Damn!It's been calculated!" Jue realized the seriousness of the problem after hearing this.

The nobles' domain has important transportation arteries and commercial supply points, and if the roads and supply sources are cut off, all the plans promoted by Najue will no longer exist!

Originally, Jue's plan was based on the premise that domestic businessmen responded and offended foreign businessmen, but in this way, it was tantamount to pinning all hopes on domestic businessmen.

What should I do?Jue fell into deep thought.

If business collapses, then it is no longer as simple as the state losing its vitality, but the beginning of the whole country's turmoil.

Maybe there will be a way, but in terms of the kind of supply it is, it's not enough!

"Noble...... I guess it's from the aristocratic faction. It seems that they really want to overthrow the power of the country and then create a divided state. Cohen said.

"In addition, the assistant minister has also prepared a list of all families who are suspected of participating in this event. Nuo Xiaoyi came up with a list.

Cohen took the list and asked, "So, what about the nobles' reasons?"

"According to their words, the flow of supplies should be blocked on the grounds that the territory needs to be built and cannot mobilize surplus supplies to support it, and as for the roads, it is to prevent people from smuggling. ”

"Really, it's clearly not helping us. Cohen smiled helplessly.

Seeing Cohen so calm, Jue asked curiously, "Do you have any solutions?"

"Yes. Cohen looked at the list, "These nobles are not stupid, they should understand what benefits they will have by enforcing our policies. They are simply emphasizing here that they are in a hostile relationship with us. As soon as one person joins us, they will have an avalanche of defections. ”

"But who is this breakthrough, and who can be the breakthrough?" Jue asked.

"You don't have to worry about that, it's my job. Cohen said, "Things are still very interesting among the nobles, so I have a way to defeat them from within." ”

Jue nodded, "Yes, this kind of thing should be left to you." ”

"You go back first, and think about how you will bring the prince to politics tomorrow. ”

Jue glanced at Cohen and left.

When he walked to the door, Nuo Xiaoyi saluted Jue respectfully.

In an instant, Jue once again felt the strong power fluctuation.

Jue immediately used the elven eyes to look at this Nuo Xiaoyi.

"Is there anything else?" asked Nuo Xiaoyi.

Jue saw that Nuo Xiaoyi did not have any power fluctuations, and it was the same as an ordinary human race.

"Ah, no, nothing...... Can you prepare some brown sugar water? When the time comes, just give Ouyang Taxue directly, and it is best to add some red dates and other things to the water to nourish the blood and nourish the body. ”

Nuo Xiaoyi was stunned for a moment, and then said with a slight smile: "Understood, please leave this kind of thing to me." ”

After speaking, Nuo Xiaoyi retreated.

Jue did not return to his room, but wandered around in the southern country.

This is supposed to be a powerful country.

Jue looked at the scenery along the way. Really, the construction of Bannanguo is quite good, even the newly built water conservancy project is a perfect project. The aerial canal, built directly from the top of the mountain in the south, stretches for thousands of miles and traverses the entire country.

It's crazy engineering.

Jue stood on the southernmost hill in Bannanguo, overlooking the whole country.

The reason why Jue had the urge to come and see this country was because when he was connecting with Lin Fengmian's consciousness, he recalled the past.

In the past, there were countries like this that took him in, and there were people like that who accepted him...... But in the end, they will all usher in the fate of extinction. I don't know if it's the so-called division for a long time, or Jue itself has this kind of fate that is difficult to consummate, in short, for Jue, there is no place that can be called a home.

Will this nation inherit the fate of the former, or will the dragons fall to me?

The cold wind blew, and Jue recalled the past.

How many years have disappeared, what is the meaning of existence for Jue, and what is the real value?

Silver-white scales grew on Jue's arms, and the distortion of the hands slowly turned them into the claws of the silver-white scourge.

Jue looked at his hands.

Now I have power, but what's the use? I'm still lonely, I still don't have any purpose...... It's not like I was at all......

Huh? The original me......

Vaguely, Jue's most primitive memory was slightly loosened.

[Ah...... That's how the day started......

A child of several years old was trapped in an iron bed.

His vision was a little blurry, and the bloodshot on his eyes made what he saw glow slightly blood-red.

In front of him, there were multiple iron beds. Some of them had children as big as him tied to them, and some of them had no one but blood-stained beds.

In this dimly lit room, some people were on the move.

Someone threw a child who had just died aside like a piece of garbage.

Today...... I want to live too......]

This is...... What happened before......

Jue fought a little cold, and no one knew what he was fighting for. It's too cold, your muscles twitching, or ......

Jue returned to his room and found Ouyang Taxue sitting on a chair with a blanket, and still blowing the cup in his hand with brown sugar water.

"Lord. Ouyang Taxue stood up when he saw Jue come in.

"No, sit down first. Jue said and pressed Ouyang Taxue, who was standing up, back.

Jue walked straight to his desk, and then sat down heavily.

"Lord, are you tired, do you need any help?"

Jue pinched the bridge of his nose and said, "It's nothing, you stay honest now." Let's pause your physical training for the next few days. ”

“...... So what are my plans for tomorrow?" asked Ouyang Taxue in a low voice.

Jue opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling and thought for a while, then prepared a money bag and threw it on Ouyang Taxue's lap.

"It hurts!" Ouyang Taxue leaned back after being hit by the money bag.

With tears in her eyes, she slowly lowered the cup in her hand to the table beside her, and then picked up the money bag.

"What do you mean?" asked Ouyang Taxue rubbing his legs.

"Go out by yourself, and remember to come back before ten o'clock every night. After Jue finished speaking, the whole person collapsed on the chair.

"Then I don't have to accompany you to the court anymore?"

"I said, you can play by yourself. Follow me when you're over. Jue said.

Ouyang Taxue took back the cup on the table and drank the brown sugar water quietly.

“...... Thank you. I don't know how long it took to be silent, Ouyang Taxue said.

"Uh-huh?......" Jue's voice said muffled as if he was asleep.

Ouyang Taxue heard Jue's current state, but she still smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for thinking so much about me, thank you so much." Perhaps, you and Mom and Dad are the only three people in the world who are good to me...... At least treat me as a human ......"

In the morning, the faint light became dazzling, and Jue was awakened.

Jue wiped his face, "I'm asleep again?......"

He looked at the blanket that Ouyang Taxue used yesterday.

This Nizi is really interesting.

Jue looked at the blanket and thought, and then he got up and cleaned up, intending to go to court.

Ouyang Taxue was gone, but Jue could sense her current general position.

Is it on the street? Beside you...... How many maids-in-waiting?

After Jue finished preparing, he opened the door and went up.

Jue came to the conference room and saw that there was already a debate in it.

As Jue expected, after the news of the nobles' deliberate sabotage reached the government, people began to condemn and scold.

Jue glanced at the seat next to him.

Is Cohen not there? Is he out to settle disputes? He's really busy.

At this time, someone walked up to Jue's side and sat down.

Jue looked over and found that it was Ouyang Xun, the head of the Ouyang family.

"So, don't you want to join the group scolding meeting?" Jue said.

Ouyang Xun shook his head, "Lord Jue, the situation is still controllable. Lord Cohen came to me last night and told me about the situation, so I mobilized the strength of the Ouyang family to fill the lack of supplies for this noble faction...... But it won't last long. ”

"You mean let me figure it out?"

"I'm sure you'll have a solution, my lord. Ouyang Xun looked at Jue and said.

After hearing this, Jue crossed his arms and leaned on the backrest. He took a deep breath and said, "Your Ouyang family is really loyal. ”

"Yes. Ouyang Xun nodded deeply, "The Ouyang family is bound to exist to defend the royal power!"

“...... Even if it's a seller?" After listening to Ouyang Xun's words, Jue remembered Ouyang Taxue.

Ouyang Xun didn't know what to say for a while, but he still thought for a moment and said, "Yes." ”

Jue didn't continue the topic any further. Maybe Ouyang Taxue became a victim like this.

But......

Jue looked at Ouyang Xun's face carefully.

"Hmm, is there something wrong?" asked Ouyang Xun.

"It's nothing, it's just a moment of stup. Jue smiled and perfunctory Ouyang Xun's question.

It's not very similar, Ouyang Xun doesn't look like Ouyang Taxue......

Jue used keen observation to see the difference between Ouyang Xun and Ouyang Treading the snow. How to say it, I feel that Ouyang Taxue is more beautiful and has a special charm, while Ouyang Xun is simply handsome.

Ouyang Xun looked at the people arguing in front of him, and then sighed.

"Originally, it was a powerful country. It's a shame that it didn't collapse from within the country......"

"I'm not uncommon to see such situations, so you don't have to worry and regret so much. Everything will end, but when it ends, everything will change. ”

Ouyang Xun glanced at Jue, and then he whispered, "Your Excellency, do you think your position in the Dragon Clan is suitable for you?"

"What do you mean?"

"I want to say ......"

Just as Ouyang Xun was about to speak, he suddenly stood up and shouted, "There is an objection!"

Then he joined the rhetoric ahead.

Ouyang Xun is really a talent, even when he is talking to me, he can distract some of his energy to listen to the debate in front of him.

Jue sighed in his heart Ouyang Xun's ability.

Jue listened to Ouyang Xun's debate in front of him, and he couldn't help but show a headache expression.

Indeed, what the aristocratic faction did was too great. Jue's plan was completely disrupted. What's more, if this plan fails, then Jue's position in Bannanguo will completely become a bystander in the future, and his status as a political official will make him very passive.

Merchants would stop trading because of policy, the circulation of goods and coins would become sluggish, and the people would have to hoard property and abandon the purchase of national debt because of the small amount of goods...... Eventually, the lack of supplies would escalate from small-scale looting to large-scale riots – and that would be the end of the country.

Jue speculated on how things would change based on his previous experience.

But who can have such a strong appeal to persuade so many nobles to hoard goods? The nobles are not stupid, they should know what is at stake.

Jue looked outside the door of the conference room and found that Nuo Xiaoyi was waving to him.

Nuo Xiaoyi is also very mysterious, obviously he has only been here for a few days, but he can mix like a fish in water. What's more, she came with the Auxiliary Officer. Who is that auxiliary magistrate, and will his appearance have anything to do with the death of the king of Bannan?

Jue stood up and walked towards Nuo Xiaoyi.

"What's the matter?"

"I'm sorry, Lord Jue, but I asked you to come over in person. But the other party wants to meet you secretly. Nuo Xiaoyi said.

After hearing this, Jue looked back at the conference room behind him, and closed the door casually after making sure that no one was following.

"Please go this way. "Nuo Xiaoyi led the way for Jue.

After navigating through multiple hallways, they came to the door of a room.

"The Lord is already waiting for you. With that, Nuo Xiaoyi knocked on the door.

"Come in. Said the man in the room.

"It's rude. Nuo Xiaoyi pushed the door open.

Jue walked in and took a look, and found a middle-aged man standing by the floor-to-ceiling window of the room, looking at the whole country.

The man looked a little old, his sideburns were completely white, and his face was wrinkled by the years.

"You're the head of the dragon clan, Lord Jue, aren't you?" the man asked.

"That's right. Jue nodded.

"My daughter is really taken care of by you. The man said with a smile.

"Daughter?" Jue was a little confused, he didn't remember who he had taken care of.

Well...... Wait, this breath is......

"Are you Ji Yun's parent?" Jue asked.

"Exactly," the man nodded, "I'm the Marquis of the Southern Kingdom, Ji Tuo." ”
