Chapter 454: Land

Whether the lotus girl interfered in the married life of the dragon king, probably there will never be direct evidence, Gu Shenwei can only take the responsibility on his own shoulders, ashamed of his temporary weakness.

Zhong Heng's reminder was timely, and there was not much gossip after three days of abnormal performance, but if it continued like this, the Dragon King would be reduced to an ordinary king, no different from the weak royal family of the Five Kingdoms of the Free Sea, and the various kings of the Western Regions who suddenly rose and fell.

Gu Shenwei had always thought that the little monster hiding in his heart was a shallow guy, but now he realized that as long as he was given enough food, he could grow into a behemoth.

Now that it's robust enough, it's not easy to shut it up again.

This is like eliminating the influence of "The Theory of Persistence" back then, only a more persistent killing intention can defeat the scripture that makes people less murderous, and Gu Shenwei has to use more ruthless means than before to defeat the monster that ** has cultivated.

In the evening of the same day, the princess was returned to the royal palace in the city.

The princess doesn't know why, she is dressed up and waiting for the dragon king, she is both shy and expectant to her **, he is no longer a high-minded, murderous demon, but a man who brings pleasure to lift her up to the clouds, even the countless scars, which made her heart tremble when she thought about it before, but now she longs for that rough sense of friction.

Suddenly, with no explanation, no comfort, no promises, not even an appearance, the Dragon King was going to chase her away.

The princess couldn't help but ask, "Why?"

Long Chuanyun, who was in charge of escorting the princess, felt embarrassed, the dragon king didn't say the reason, but he couldn't just tell the princess so bluntly, "Queen, the dragon king is very busy, the army of Jinpeng Castle is about to fight, and the military camp is not safe, so ......"

The princess hoped that these words would be said by the dragon king himself, even if it was a lie, it would make her feel a trace of respect, but she was sent away like a prostitute, and the princess's heart was deeply stabbed, and every drop of ** was transformed into corresponding anger and incomprehension.

She didn't bother to argue with a captain of the guard, and she wouldn't go directly to the dragon king to theorize, but nodded haughtily, "Prepare the car." ”

But she was not convinced, the dragon king was also a human being, a man, and she didn't believe that she would not get him after such a lingering and sad three days.

Xu Yanwei broke into more than ten tents in a row, and finally found the dragon king, panting and asking: "Why do you want to get rid of the princess?"

Zhong Heng and Dugu Xian retired with interest, the matter they discussed had been decided, and there was no need to discuss it further.

I don't know since when, Xu Yanwei thinks that she has an unshirkable responsibility for the care of the Dragon King's private affairs, like her mother and sister, and similarly, Gu Shenwei doesn't know how she inexplicably accepted this relationship.

"I didn't chase her. Gu Shenwei's tone was cold, but he still opened his mouth to defend himself, "This is a military camp, there shouldn't be a woman living here, the soldiers are all abiding by the rules, I can't take the lead in sabotage, the big wedding is over, that's it." ”

"What about me? I'm also a woman, so I can't live in the barracks, right?"

"Well, you have to go back to the palace with the queen. ”

Xu Yanwei's temper exploded, she didn't understand, why men in this world always leave after eating and wiping their mouths, women's requirements are not high, a few good words, just a little gift, she thought that the dragon king would be different, but she didn't expect her to be so disappointed.

"Do you know that the princess is yours when she marries you? What is the matter when you go back to the palace? The king is a selfish fellow, and has no feelings for his sister, and you are pushing her back into the fire pit. ”

"Even if you have to let the princess go back to the palace, can't you send her off in person? She is a princess of a country, and her face is more important than her life, and if you let her go back to the marriage house alone, won't you cause a lot of shame?"

Gu Shenwei had no intention of embarrassing the princess, but he knew how strong his ** was, and if he gave it a little excuse, he might get out of the stiffness, and he didn't go to see the princess, not because he was indifferent, but because he wanted to test himself at a critical moment.

"It's my people, you should think about me, Jinpeng Castle is not destroyed, how can I have the heart to think about women's affairs?"

"Ha, women's business? You are going to be a real man now? What is the matter with Miss Ru, you killed someone's husband, and gave her a country, and the lotus girl, you two are almost glued together, but you didn't give her a name. If you make a woman cry sadly, you can show your masculinity, right?"

Xu Yanwei was filled with righteous indignation, all the negative men he had encountered over the years came to his heart at this time, the dragon king was their representative, although the two of them had never slept together, but this also became one of the sins of the dragon king looking down on women, "I was sweet the night before, and when we meet again, we will be like passers-by, what about your promise? Everyone said to take me out of Nancheng, but it turned out to be all liars...... If you want to go to bed, you're even lower than the lowliest minions, and if you sleep with you, you're going to be a man? If I know martial arts, I'll dig out your hearts and see ......."

Xu Yanwei began to digress, it seemed that he wanted to treat the Dragon King as an enemy, dancing excitedly, and his voice became more and more high-pitched.

Gu Shenwei was very surprised, how could this petite body contain such a strong anger, and indiscriminately burn it.

He clapped his hands, and two tall guards walked in from outside the tent, both of whom were swordsmen from the Great Snow Mountain.

"What are you doing? If you can't say anything, I'm going to do it? Men will bully women with their strength, and you don't want to think about who brought you up in your arms? Think about your own mother, don't you blush?"

The two guards blushed, glanced at each other, bowed respectfully to the disrespectful woman, and then set up Xu Yanwei and led him away from the dragon king's tent.

Gu Shenwei cleared his mind and let himself forget about the princess and Xu Yanwei, as well as all women, there were many things he had to do, and each of them was more important than women.

Before Xu Yanwei came, he was discussing with Zhong Heng and Dugu Xian how to deal with Jinpeng Castle.

The spies brought back information that in Shuangquan Village, on the other side of the desert, the number of Jinpeng Castle troops was increasing every day, and countless grains and grass had been accumulated, so as to fully prepare for the big battle in spring.

Dubu King is determined to win the free sea, he has no doubt about defeating the dragon army, the key is to win quickly and beautifully.

"This is a big play that Dubu King performed for Beiting. Zhong Heng's eyes are precise, and this time is no exception, "It is said that Beiting has formulated a huge plan to prepare for a decisive battle with the Central Plains at the turn of summer and autumn, and Jinpeng Fort hopes to play an important role in the decisive battle, so he has to show that he has this strength this spring." ”

Dugu Xian only had one arm left, and he quickly pointed back and forth on the map, "Although the Xiaoyao Sea is easy to defend and difficult to attack, there are only two moats that can be used as checkpoints - the desert and the big lake, and the rest of the place is a flat river, and the side with many people and horses has an absolute advantage, if the dragon army wants to keep the entire Xiaoyao Sea, it must hold the desert, I am worried that if the army of Jinpeng Fort increases, we will only die in vain with more than 10,000 people." ”

The total number of dragon troops is close to 20,000, but if they are stationed in the five countries of Xiaoyaohai, the main force that can be concentrated is only 14,500 people, far less than Jinpeng Fort.

"We have to let the five countries continue to recruit soldiers, and at least 10,000 more people must be replenished. ”

Dugu Xian's proposal from a military point of view, Zhong Heng pointed out the difficulties from a political point of view, "The five countries are all concealing the population, without the cooperation of the royal family, it is even more difficult to recruit soldiers, and the more soldiers, the more serious the shortage of food, grass and armor." ”

Gu Shenwei had been thinking about this issue before, he had seen with his own eyes those people who would rather hide in the capital and beg for food than join the Dragon Army, the five royal families turned a blind eye to this, they were all making preparations with both hands, once the Dragon Army was defeated, no one wanted to be the most loyal supporter.

"I'm afraid that the forced conscription will not be effective, so it is better to recruit an army. ”

A large part of the army of Jinpeng Castle was hired swordsmen, and Gu Shenwei felt that this was one of the solutions.

"But, where did we get so much money?" Zhong Heng, as the prime minister, knows best the economic strength of the Dragon Army, Xu Xiaoyi's accumulation, and the wealth of the Xiangji Country, which together are indeed huge, but compared with the daily expenses of the entire army, they are still stretched.

If you want to recruit 10,000 soldiers, the entire Western Regions can probably only afford the Meng clan of Biyu City.

Gu Shenwei came up with an idea, "We don't have money, but we have land." ”

"Land, where did the land come from?" Zhong Heng was puzzled at first, and then suddenly realized, "That's right, the Dragon King has a large piece of fertile land in his hands. ”

Dugu Xian was a little slower to react to this kind of thing, and he didn't quite understand it, so he thought for a while before saying, "The Dragon King is talking about the country of incense? But aren't there inhabitants there? And across the Wushan Mountain, the people of the sea may not be interested." ”

Before the Dragon King could speak, Zhong Heng had already excitedly explained, he had never been to the country of incense, but every few days, he would receive supplies from there, "There are very few residents in the country of incense, and they can't fill the entire country at all, thanks to those nobles who have no foresight, they are afraid that the population is too large and cannot be controlled, so they have been using various means to keep the number to a small range, and there are many ownerless lands there." ”

"Although the area of the five countries is not small, but most of the land is barren, and many people have become refugees during the war, they are told that there is a fertile field waiting for them, which is more attractive than gold, silver and jewelry. ”

"Then the only problem we have left is the shortage of food, grass and armor. Gu Shenwei said, I think this problem can be solved quickly, Wushan is in the world, guarding this territory, there is not enough steel, as for the grain and grass, it can only be collected slowly.

"And training, no matter how many people are recruited, they are a rabble at the beginning, and it takes time to train them to become warriors. Zhong Heng is most concerned about this issue.

It was at this point that Xu Yanwei broke in.

Taking Xu Yanwei away, Gu Shenwei continued to think about it along the original line of thought, the "only problem" is not only the grain and grass and armor, the distribution of land will not be smooth sailing, there are also Jinpeng killers, the strike is still effective, but as soon as the war begins, there will be groups of killers pouring into the sea.

Jinpeng Castle has not used all its strength before, and this time the attack that was launched after gathering momentum is bound to be unprecedentedly fierce.

The Lotus Maiden stepped out, like a phantom in the dragon king's mind, appearing when he needed it most, helping him solve his problems.

And she herself is also one of the problems, Gu Shenwei thought to himself, what means did the lotus girl use to make herself and the princess **erect, this is a loophole, he must plug it.
