Xia Xiaosu let out a long sigh of relief and put down the pen that was reading the memorial. Now, the Imperial City and the three cities, twelve towns, and forty-five villages around the Imperial City were all under her jurisdiction.
However, the scope of this was too small. The other northern dukes were basically in a state of ‘three nos’. They did not support, oppose, and did not consider him to exist. If he waited until his third royal brother raised his arm and shouted, who knew if they would all rise up in revolt?
” The righteousness is just for outsiders to hear. The key is the equal distribution of benefits. ” Xia Xiaosu rubbed her brows. She had thought of asking her brother to suppress them all the way, but unless they were completely suppressed, they would definitely rebound. Although suppression was tne Dest snortcut, It was also tne most rraglle way.
She read the history books.
The royal family’s resources were full of unique copies and secret treasures, and even historical fragments recorded in ancient times.
The history books said that in ancient times, there was a Great Emperor who could move mountains and move seas. His divine arts could summon the wind and rain. With a single punch, he could shatter mountains and rivers. Then, this Great Emperor used the power of a few people to sweep through the chaotic world and unify the world.
In the final battle, it was said that nine great divine dragons participated in the battle, wanting to subdue the Great Emperor. However, the Great Emperor was so powerful that he still defeated the enemy.
After that, the Great Emperor collected all the weapons in the world, melted them down, and destroyed them. He openly forged twelve giant golden men whose heights were almost as tall as the clouds, and secretly forged six thousand indestructible death warriors. He bestowed them with souls, making these six thousand and twelve monsters completely obey him.
This was truly a suppression of the world. However, the Great Emperor had only reigned for eleven years and had died for unknown reasons. However, after the Great Emperor died, his powerful soldiers and generals were still around, right?
In the end, such a huge empire was destroyed in less than three years.
“Other than the fact that everyone in the world is dead, what else can we do about the suppression? Moreover, elder brother will also be very tired and his cultivation will be delayed. He has his own Dao…” Xia Xiaosu stared blankly at the book for a long time before clenching her fists. ” Xia Xiaosu, you’re too weak. ‘
After saying these words, she stood up.
After leaving the royal study, they arrived at Huaqing Lake.
The Coiled Dragon Pavilion by the lake,
On both sides of the stone table,
King Shenwu was wearing a dark golden python robe and had a powerful aura. The young girl opposite him was wearing a crane cloak and looked somewhat otherworldly.
It was a little like a yang and yin, a hard and soft feeling.
Summer is drinking.
Ning Xiaoyu had taken out a white feather fan and was fanning herself slowly.
There was no trace of embarrassment left in her eyes from the Cloud Heaven Palace incident the day before yesterday. She also did not ask, ” Hey, why did I wake up naked? Why did you put me on the bed? Did you do anything to me? ” What? No? I’m so beautiful, why didn’t you do that to me? Are you even human? ”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWell, Ning Xiaoyu’s face was not red, and her heart was not beating. What was a wise man?
Being able to not play tricks and knowing how to play dumb was the first step to becoming a wise man.
Ning Xiaoyu pretended that she had not been naked in front of this man the day before yesterday, nor did she make any strange sounds.
Xia Xiaosu had read in the history books that there was a wise man named “Kong Ming” in ancient times. He was dressed in this feather fan and crane cloak. Ning Xiaoyu must have read that book as well.
This really corresponded to the phrase ‘like a fish in water.’
She was a fish, and Ning Xiaoyu was her water. However, it was a pity that
Ning Xiaoyu was 1.7 meters tall. It was really a hindrance to the dignity of the royal family. Her thoughts turned quickly and she quickly remembered a pair of shoes recorded in a volume of the Ministry of Heavenly Craftsmanship. The heel was as high as ten centimeters. If she wore that kind of shoes, she should be able to enhance the dignity of the king.
Xia Ji turned his head and saw the 1.5 -meter tall man standing in front of the courtyard. He said,
“Little 511, you’re nere. come ana Sit.’
Xia Xiaosu looked at the tea placed on the table. Her brother knew that she couldn’t drink, so he made it for her…Wait, it was juice!
She suddenly felt her throat heat up. Fruit juice tasted better than tea. However, as the king of a region, she had long decided to give up fruit juice, which was something children drank. After all, drinking tea would be more impressive.
He couldn’t let the military counselor find out that he was drinking fruit juice… Otherwise…
Thus, she sat down calmly and poured herself a cup of tea. She looked at the color and found that it was brown.
She secretly heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that the orange juice had been mixed with apple juice. It was not obvious from the outside.
Only then did she raise her sleeve to cover it and drink it all in one gulp.
Ning Xiaoyu found it strange. Why did the princess feel stuffy after drinking the tea?
“Brother, Military Advisor, I’ve thought about it,” said Xia Xiaosu.
If the Turkic diplomatic corps were to be repelled halfway, that would be fine, but if they enter the capital without us giving them an explanation, only becoming enemies and killing them would be inappropriate.”
“Then what do you want to do?”
” Martial arts competition, ” Xia Xiaosu said calmly. ” As long as they are qualified, I will recognize a sister and let her go to the Turks as my marriage partner. ‘
Xia Ji couldn’t help but turn his head to look at the vixen hanging from the tree.
This vixen was good at causing trouble and was also good at mental illusions. Controlling her secretly was the best choice.
Hu Xian Er was swaying in the breeze when she felt the killing intent and couldn’t help but shiver.
Seeing that her brother was silent, Xia Xiaosu said, “Advisor Jun, what do you think?”
“Princess, can I have some of your tea to moisten my throat?” Ning Xiaoyu sniffed.
Xia Xiaosu:lll
She pushed the tea out and poured a cup.
Ning Xiaoyu drank the wine in one gulp. Her eyes lit up as she said emotionally,”Good tea! This should be the 20-year-old Pu ‘er from the mother tree of Yun Mountain.
Xia Xiaosu was speechless.
Xia Ji was speechless.
“Another cup.”
Xia Xiaosu nodded and poured her another glass. The military counselor was really a wise man. She would not be wrong. With this temper, he was her water, like a fish in water.
“What the princess said is true, but I don’t think the person who came here has good intentions.
First, more than half of April had already passed, and the marriage was in March. If the Turks really cared about this marriage, why hadn’t the diplomatic mission arrived in March and had delayed it until the end of April? “Secondly, everyone knows about the great changes in our Shang Dynasty.
Everyone knew that the emperor was dead.
The ruler of the Imperial City was His Highness, so everyone understood.
Under such circumstances, would the marriage alliance that the emperor had promised still be kept? Doesn’t the Turks have any idea?” Puff.
Xia Ji couldn’t help but cough when he heard the word ” count.
“Little brother, you’ve never heard of vulgarities before?” Ning Xiaoyu smiled.
Ning Xiaoyu said, ” In other words, the Tu Jue diplomatic mission isn’t here to discuss the marriage alliance, but to use this opportunity to invade Great Shang.
Why invade? I guess they must have encountered some kind of crisis that forced them to flee.
In addition, my little brother’s name has awed the Northern Reaches. Although the battle of Floating Jade Mountain might not have spread to the Central Plains, the Turks definitely know about the defeat of the frost giant.
Even so, they still dared to come for a marriage alliance. They must have a trump card that could suppress their little brother. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have come.
Moreover, it’s no big secret that the Turkic diplomatic mission is here. There are so many vassals in the north who harbor ill intentions, as well as Your Highness ‘brother in the south. If they don’t go with the flow, I’ll look down on them.”
Xia Xiaosu was speechless.
It turned out that in front of a wise man, he was still a simple-minded person…
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNing Xiaoyu shook her feather fan and said slowly, “”Thus, this isn’t a kung fu competition, but a confrontation. Quite a few people are secretly standing behind the Turkic diplomatic mission, hoping to see Your Highness make a fool of himself.”
“Please teach me, Military Advisor,” said Xia Xiaosu.
“Eight words, kill and subdue the Turks, appease the Turks.”
We’ll kill as many as come and leave behind someone who can speak to express our goodwill. We’ll say that the heavens are gracious and that as long as the Turks are willing to submit, we can carve out a piece of land in the Central Plains for them to settle down in, but they have to accept our management. In addition, they were not allowed to marry Central Plainsmen. If there were any exceptions, they would be specially discussed. Otherwise, there would be the danger of chaos in decades. Under the influence of the culture of the Central
Plains, the Turks will become a province of ours in less than a hundred years.” Xia Xiaosu thought to herself.
“Little brother, you’re really good at fighting. I’ll have to trouble you again.” “Then guess what the Turks have up their sleeves,” Xia Ji said.
Ning Xiaoyu waved her feather fan and said, “”Guifang has the Frost Giants, but don’t the Turks have their own special powers?
I flipped through an ancient book and found that the ancestor of the Turks was the Shemo Sea God. In ancient times, the west wasn’t a desert steppe, but a vast ocean. That’s why it was the sea god. The descendants of the Shemo Sea God worshiped a deer.
Another theory was that the ancestor of the Turks was a terrifying wolf. If this wolf opened its mouth, its upper jaw would reach the sky and its lower jaw would touch the ground. The totem that the descendants of this wolf worshipped was the wolf.
These two were the mainstream totems. There were also many smaller totems, such as those that worshipped the Brilliant Sun Flower, and those that worshipped the Two-Headed Snake…
The Turkic King’s faction was an alliance, so there would definitely be deer and wolves.
And these two totems, in the legends that have been passed down, there were two things recorded in the corners…”
Ning Xiaoyu’s expression turned slightly solemn as she said, ‘”‘ Swallowing Soldier Wolf Clan, boasting moths in the rain. ‘
“What is this?”
“The Soldier Devouring Wolf clan refers to the blood of that ancient wolf that flows in the bodies of some Turks. Once activated, they can transform into a half-man, half-wolf existence, a giant wolf with incomparably sharp teeth that can tear through everything. When it opens its mouth, it can even swallow steel weapons.
The boastful moths in the rain referred to the Turkic people who had the blood
of the God of the Sea.
The moth refers to the ants, and praise is praise. To praise a moth is to praise oneself for being as strong as an ant, and because these Turks possess a sliver of the Seagod’s bloodline, they are blessed by the water. In the rain, their strength will rise to an unimaginable level. In addition, when they walk in the rain, they are invisible, so no one can see them.”
Ning Xiaoyu sorted out her thoughts and said, ” These two things are also known as wolf ghosts and rain demons…
If they really existed, and it was the wolf ghost that invaded the imperial city, then the wolf ghost could eat the city gate and break it.
Now, at the end of spring, the rain is continuous, and this is the best time for the Rain Demon to act.”
Xia Xiaosu listened with a solemn expression.
“Little brother, if there really are these two things, you won’t be unable to defeat them, right?” Ning Xiaoyu asked.
This was a prodding method that the Confucians had learned, and he was a
little excited to use it for the first time..
