Duan Xing ran the Pure Yang Supreme Gong for three great weeks, and he consciously improved his skills. The divine sense probed inwardly and felt his current strength. Intuition is still a little bit away from the innate realm, and if you can have an opportunity, you can break through in an instant. If there is no adventure, it will break through on its own within three years. The practice is gradual, Duan Xing does not intend to deliberately look for opportunities to break through in advance, and he gets up satisfied.

As soon as I washed up, a loud voice came from outside the door: "Has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ever gotten up?" ”

Duan Xing lifted the curtain of the tent and found that the sun had passed noon.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, the last general doesn't know what you eat in the palace on weekdays. The barracks were simple, and the general made some things at random, and asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to taste them. Duan Xing looked at the plate in Banonka's hand, two roast lamb legs and a big roast chicken.

The two of them ate some at will, and then left the camp to prepare to go around.

The fat man Taishou arrived just before Duan Xing left the camp. shouted to Duan Xing from afar: "His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Duan Xing responded with a smile: "Lord Mu, why are you so alarmed?"

The fat man Taishou took a breath and said, "Doesn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince want to take a stroll around Dingnan Mansion today? ”

"Oh, isn't Lord Mu busy with official business on weekdays?"

"It's basically done in the morning, and I'll leave the rest to Fu Cheng to do, I don't know where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to go around first?"

Bannonka had been watching coldly from the side, and finally couldn't help but interject and said: "There is General Ben here, so I won't bother Lord Mu, Lord Mu might as well please go back." ”

The fat man Taishou Haha said with a smile: "If you talk about fighting between battlefields, this official can't catch up with General Banunka if you ask yourself." However, if it is about the understanding of Dingnan Mansion, this official believes that General Banungka still needs to learn more. ”

Duan Xing didn't know why there seemed to be a lot of grudge between the two, and he only cared about studying the military plan last night, and he forgot to ask General Banunka.

Seeing that the conflict between the two had a tendency to escalate, Duan Xing began to be a good man again, and said: "The two adults don't need to fight each other, since Master Mu is already here, why don't the three of us travel together." ”

The fat man raised an eyebrow at Banonka, who snorted coldly and turned his head away from him.

In the afternoon, Duan Xing and his party only made a circle in the center of Dingnan Mansion. The fat man was too stubborn and tireless, chattering to report the general situation of Dingnan Mansion to Duan Xing.

Dinh Nam Province now has a population of about 1.2 million people, and this is when all the counties under its jurisdiction are included. There are about 700,000 young adults between the ages of 16 and 40, and the living environment here is not very good, the elderly die quickly, and many children die young. However, more children are dying and more are born, and the overall population is still steadily increasing.

Part of the grain was grown in the counties near Dingnan Province, and the other part was purchased from the country of Chenla. Perhaps because of the soil quality, the grain of Zhenla is better than that grown in Dingnan Province in terms of yield and quality.

Because of the difficulties in the survival of the common people, some small businessmen and small households secretly do some business in the border areas, reselling the special products between the two countries back and forth. This kind of thing, the fat man is too guarded to do it, but he can't see it.

When Duan Xing asked: "Why don't you station soldiers at the border, protect the safety of merchants, and collect checkpoint fees by the way", the fat man Taishou glanced at Banongka with slanted eyes, and said bitterly: "Your Highness doesn't know, the only people who can be mobilized by the lower officials are some servants who barely maintain daily law and order." The people of the Southern Wilderness are fierce, and there are incidents of blood and injury at every turn, and it is simply impossible to transfer manpower from the government to protect the safety of merchants.

Duan Xing turned his head to Banunka and asked, "Where is the army?"

Unexpectedly, Banonka also began to complain to Duan Xing. At first, Taishou couldn't spare manpower, so he discussed it with Banonka. Banungka did send a small unit to protect the safety of the small merchants.

However, small merchants did not accept such protection, preferring to take shortcuts and mountain roads on their own rather than take official roads. One is to save time, and the other is to save checkpoint fees. The troops sent over not only served any purpose, but also delayed daily training.

The climate of the Southern Wilderness is humid and hot, and everyone is not interested in cutting wood. There are many mountain roads and forests. A few people went into the mountains and forests, but the sentries stationed in some sensitive border areas of Banungka could not find anyone at all.

Because of the above reasons, this matter has come to an end.

Duan Xing and the others stopped and walked, and soon the sun set. Just as Duan Xing was about to finish today's field investigation, two fast horses rushed to the front of Duan Xing and the others.

A group of guards who were in charge of opening the way at the front pulled out their weapons in unison, and the captain of the guard shouted: "Who dares to rush into the prince's driving?"

"Old decay Li Wen", "Old woman Wang Jing", "Ask to see His Royal Highness the Prince." The two men turned over and dismounted, gave way to the center of the road, and arched their hands.

The captain of the guard seemed to have heard the names of the two men, and instead of continuing to yell, he turned to Banunka with his eyes.

Banonka glared at the fat man Taishou with his eyes and said, "This should be Lord Taishou's arrangement of haode in advance, right?"

The fat man smiled and said to Duan Xing: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, these two are the heads of the Li family and the Wang family among the three major families in Dingnan Mansion. The two heard yesterday that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was coming to Dingnan Mansion, and came to the palace early this morning, and told the officials that they wanted to meet His Royal Highness the Prince, see the demeanor of His Royal Highness the Prince, and appreciate the royal atmosphere of the imperial capital. ”

Duan Xing kept a smile on his face, but his tone was a little cold, and said, "So Lord Mu didn't ask this king for advice, and made a decision without permission, right?"

The fat man is too conservative and Duan Xing is young, so he should like this kind of welcoming and lively scene. But listening to Duan Xing's words, he seemed to be a little dissatisfied with himself. Immediately, his expression changed, and he said with a hint of emotion in his voice: "Xiaguan knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't like this kind of occasion, so he sternly rejected the two of them at first. But who knows, the two of them want to see His Royal Highness the Prince. begged the subordinate for an hour. Xia Guan Nian and the two of them did a lot of good deeds to the people of Dingnan Mansion on weekdays, and they relented for a while, so they agreed to the two. However, the lower officials absolutely did not make any assertions, and made a decision for His Highness. just ordered the two to come and ask His Highness for instructions, and as for whether His Highness is willing to meet the two of them, it is completely up to His Highness to decide. ”

After speaking, the fat man's face showed compassion, as if he had to do it completely for the people of Dingnan Mansion.

Duan Xing resisted the urge to kick the fat man Taishou off the horse, and said in his heart: "This fat man borrowed my name, I don't know how much silver he received from the two of them, I will definitely clean him up when I turn around, and let him jump for a few days for the time being." ”

Duan Xing turned his head and asked Banonka, "How are these two people on weekdays?"

Banonka looked at the two in front of him and said: "Back to Your Highness, the ancestors of these two people began to live in Dingnan Mansion, and they have been living in Dingnan Mansion for about a hundred years. It is rumored that many members of their family have married with the southern four countries. There are even rumors that the two families have secretly moved their base camps to other countries, and it is impossible to know whether the rumors are true or not. It's just that, according to the contact between the last general and them, they are very cunning, especially good at seeing the wind and steering, and their subordinates have countless businesses in the open and in the dark, and they are by no means kind people. ”

Speaking of this, Banonka turned his head to the fat man Taishou and said, "Lord Mu knows this more clearly than the last general. ”

The fat man didn't hear it, and looked down at a group of ants passing by the horse's hooves.

Duan Xing looked at the two in the distance, his divine sense probed over the two of them, and he was surprised to find that there was a huge explosive power hidden under the seemingly old bodies of the two, and their skills were undoubtedly first-class masters. Duan Xing put away the contempt he had for Nanhuang when he first came. I figured it out in my heart: "It seems that people with a little status and status are so good in martial arts, and I am afraid that the skills of these two people are not as good as Uncle Zhennan Wang." The centuries-old family heritage is truly extraordinary. ”

"Master Mu!" Duan Xing said with a smile at the fat man Taishou.

The fat man immediately withdrew his gaze from the ant, looked at Duan Xing respectfully and said, "Your Highness just orders." ”
