Mei Niang looked puzzled, wondering what kind of mystery Chu Huan was playing, and asked, "What is this?"

At this time, the queen also approached, seeing what Chu Huan made, she was obviously a little puzzled, and couldn't help asking softly, "Chu...Master Chu, can this...can this thing point the way?"

Chu Huan looked up at the Queen, and said appreciatively, "The Queen knows the function of this thing?"

The queen said: "Qin Tiansi seems to have something called Si Nan, which can point out the way when people lose their way. Whether it is in the desert or in the sea, it can point out the direction accurately... I have seen it once. The appearance is quite different now, but... but somewhat similar.≧,"

Chu Huan laughed and said, "Remember, this is the north needle... Well, it is the Si Nan that the queen said. If you look at the direction of the thin needle, it points to the north. If you know the north, you will naturally know other directions... ...If you get lost in the future, you can try this method, and there should be no problem."

The queen was a little surprised: "This...is this really Sinan?"

Chu Huan nodded with a smile and said: "It can be regarded as Sinan, but it is very simple. It is similar to Qin Tiansi's Sinan in principle, but Qin Tiansi's Sinan must be very precise, and the workmanship will be more exquisite. .”

Mei Niang couldn't help but praised: "Brother Huan, how do you know this method?"

"I know more than you think." Chu Huan said with a smile: "But you remember, I rubbed the needle just now to make the needle magnetic...!"

"Magnetism?" Qi Hong was puzzled, "My lord, what is this magnetism?"

"Just treat it as a spell." Chu Huan said: "The silver needle is magnetic, so it can point the direction, but once the magnetism disappears, it loses its effect."

The queen said: "That is to say, after a while, you need to rub the silver needle against the stone. After rubbing, the silver needle will have the magnetic...magnetism you mentioned?"

"That's right." Chu Huan said: "Now that we know the direction, we know how to move forward. When we turn back and the direction is unclear, we can use this method to identify the direction."

Only then did a few people understand.

It was raining heavily, so we ate under the big tree. While Qi Hong and Mei Niang were preparing food, Chu Huan chopped off some branches with a dagger and made a few simple umbrellas.

Both Qi Hong and Mei Niang are martial arts practitioners, and their physiques are extraordinary. Even if they get wet in the rain, they will be fine. Chu Huan is worried about the Queen's physique. In the deep palace, rich clothes and fine food, if it is wet by heavy rain, it may not be able to resist.

Since it is like a drop in the ocean in the mountains of the North Ridge, it is difficult to trek forward.

……

Hexi, Wuping Fucheng, Governor's Mansion.

In just a few days, the Governor's Mansion has been replaced by newcomers. Feng Yuanpo's conspiracy to rebel has already been announced to Hexi, and Feng Yuanpo's Governor's Mansion has also become the Prince's temporary palace.

The whole Wuping Prefecture is naturally under the control of the prince. This sudden change naturally made people in Wuping Prefecture panic. The prince naturally knows that the current priority is to let Hexi be under his control. Since Hexi was established as a country, it has been The Feng family's father and son are in charge, and the Feng family has operated for 20 years. Most of the officials in Hexi from top to bottom are single-handedly promoted by Feng's father and son.

Although Feng Yuanpo died, the crown prince knew that it was impossible to wipe out all the forces of the Feng family in Hexi in a short period of time.

When Feng Yuanpo died, the dragons had no leader, and Feng Tianxiao, the Marshal of Hexi, was never heard from again. The prince knew that if Feng Tianxiao did not die, it would be a disaster, so he secretly sent people to search everywhere. The arrest of Chu Huan is even more serious.

Since it is impossible to clean up the forces of the Feng party in Hexi in a short period of time, the prince can only appease for the time being. Hexi officials without Feng Yuanpo, because of participating in the birthday ceremony, most of them fall into the hands of the prince , and the prince temporarily placed these officials in Wuping Mansion and closely monitored them.

Although these people are in the hands of the crown prince, the crown prince cannot immediately eradicate them. They are all deeply rooted figures in Hexi. Once a bloodbath is carried out, the whole of Hexi will definitely be turned upside down. At that time, even the crown prince will find it difficult to control the situation.

To control Hexi, the first thing to bear the brunt is to control the military power in Hexi. The crown prince acted vigorously and resolutely. In just a few days, except for Wuzhou, which has not yet been controlled, most of the soldiers and horses in Hexi have been controlled by him.

With the two sharp weapons of the Royal Guards and Shenyiwei in his hands, he can move quickly, and with Hexi officials in his hands, the speed of controlling Hexi is also extremely fast.

In addition to the tens of thousands of Hexi troops who once belonged to Feng Yuanpo's command, the Hexi soldiers and horses, the prince naturally would not ignore another force, that is, more than 2 barbarian cavalry.

The crown prince had to admit that although Feng Yuanpo was punished for treason, the wealth he left behind had greatly helped the court.

Feng Yuanpo wanted to conquer the world with all his heart, so he spent all his time in recruiting and training troops in Hexi. Now not only tens of thousands of Hexi elite soldiers and [-] barbarian cavalry are left behind, but also the warehouses are full. The warehouse is full, the prince saw the full warehouse with his own eyes, he was both pleasantly surprised and frightened.

If Feng Yuanpo hadn't missed at the point of heaven, once he was really forced to hold the emperor to order the princes, coupled with the strength accumulated in Hexi over the years, Feng Yuanpo would undoubtedly be a strong contender for the world, and also the most dangerous of the Great Qin court one of the enemies.

Feng Yuanpo already had nearly [-] Hexi troops under his command, and with the addition of [-] barbarian cavalry, his strength has exceeded [-]. In addition, the prince soon learned that Feng Yuanpo was building the Heavenly Palace under the guise of , recruited nearly [-] civil servants to carry out large-scale construction projects. These civil servants are strong and strong men. While building the Tiangong, Feng Yuanpo actually dispatched some military generals as foremen. These generals usually manage most of the civilian labor under the military system. , and even set aside a certain amount of time every month to conduct preliminary military training for these civilians.

Among the [-] civilians, nearly half have received training. Although they are far behind the regular army, it is undeniable that once there is a shortage of troops, these civilians can be deployed to the army and replenish their forces at any time. Come, it saves the time consumption of recruiting soldiers everywhere.

Over the past few days, the prince rode a specially-made carriage to appease the soldiers and civilians in the city, inspected the soldiers and horses in Hexi who were attached to him, and even went to inspect the civilian husband's camp near Tiangong.

By the time he met the barbarian chiefs, it was already a few days after entering Wuping Prefecture.

The thirteen Yiman chiefs were afraid of Feng Yuanpo. When the Yiman Jingqi was transferred to Hexi, the thirteen chiefs were put under house arrest by Feng Yuanpo in Wuping Fucheng. It is to send a group of beauties specially, so that the chiefs can enjoy it.

The life of the thirteen chiefs in Wuping Fucheng was far more comfortable than that in Mobei. For them, the wine and beauties of Qin State were enough to make them forget that they were imprisoned in Hexi.

When the prince received the thirteen chiefs, the thirteen chiefs even thought it was Feng Yuanpo who summoned them. When they saw the prince sitting in a wheelchair, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Feng Yuanpo's rebellion has already been punished by the imperial court." The prince cut straight to the point, "I am the prince of the Great Qin Dynasty. I summoned you today just to let you make a choice."

Although the news of Feng Yuanpo's murder had been made public, the thirteen chiefs were placed under house arrest in a special Xingyuan, where they spent every day drinking and beautifying, and after the crown prince took control of Wuping Prefecture, he immediately sent people to block the Xingyuan. The thirteen chiefs didn't care, they didn't know much about the outside world. Today they heard that Feng Yuanpo had been punished, they all looked at each other, then whispered, what they said was barbarian language, the crown prince frowned, It's just that the expressions of these barbarian chiefs let the prince see at a glance that they were obviously full of doubts about Feng Yuanpo's death.

The father and son of the Feng family have been in Hexi for more than 20 years. For more than 20 years, they can be said to be the rock in the north of the Great Qin Empire. At the beginning of the founding of the country, the world was in the ascendant. After a happy time, after the Feng family settled down in Hexi, they ruthlessly attacked the barbarians. The Hexi soldiers who had just stepped down from the battlefield of pacifying the world were naturally invincible against the scattered barbarians.

The two generations of the Feng family were powerful first and then kind, and the barbarians who were already in a state of disunity were beaten to pieces. Feng Yuanpo also became a nightmare in the hearts of the barbarians. In the entire Mobei, when the names of Feng Yuanpo and the Hexi Army were mentioned, Even if they kept silent like cicadas, it was precisely because of this that the ferocious wolves of the barbarians were like docile sheep in front of Feng Yuanpo.

It was hard for them to believe that Feng Yuanpo, who was so beautiful in Hexi and unimpeded in Mobei, died so easily.

Seeing them whispering, the prince coughed, and soon, a person came out from behind a screen in the corner of the room, with a graceful figure and a graceful figure, it was Empress Snow Flower.

Empress Snow Flower came out holding an exquisite gold-plated wooden box, her face was a little pale, when all the chiefs saw Empress Snow Flower, they all knew each other, and immediately fell silent.

The Snow Flower Empress came from the barbarian Slavic tribe, and the chief of the Slavic tribe, Bone United, was also one of the thirteen chiefs. When he saw the Snow Flower Empress, he was taken aback for a moment, and immediately said something loudly. After all, the barbarians knew very little about the etiquette of the Central Plains. In the eyes of Gu Lianhe, Empress Xuehua is still a member of the tribe, and when she saw Empress Xuehua, she immediately asked for help.

Empress Snow Flower frowned, with a hint of fear on her pretty face, she didn't answer, Yingying stepped forward, put the gilded wooden box on the ground in front of the thirteen chiefs, and immediately stepped back a few steps.

All the chiefs looked at each other, but the prince raised his hand, with a smile on his face, motioning for everyone to open the box.
