Douluo: The Peerless Sun, Moon, and Yuhao

Chapter 173

According to the establishment of the Sun Moon Empire's Beastmaster-level soul engineer regiment, each soul engineer regiment has three division heads, one principal and two assistants.

Xia Xuanchen, who was also Wang Yiheng's deputy, blinked, as if he was a bit overwhelmed by the bomb thrown by his comrades.

He subconsciously cast his eyes on Wang Yiheng seeking knowledge, but what he met was the same suspicious eyes cast by the latter.

The moment their eyes collided, the two completed the communication tacitly.

"Master, didn't you arrange this?"

"Fart, I thought it was the two of you who were going to team up to force the palace, and you didn't know beforehand that he was walking alone?"

No need to speak, the two of them understood each other's meaning just by looking at each other.

(The name Xia Xuanchen appeared in the later period as the leader of the evil king soul engineer who succeeded Wang Yiheng, but the first time he appeared was as the contestant of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy that was used by Huo Hang to sacrifice the flag in the second competition)
In the main hall of the court meeting, there was a strange silence for a while, but the person concerned didn't seem to feel embarrassed.

Wen Jie was still holding the wat board, and looked at the old emperor on the dragon chair with piercing eyes, as if he was upright and worried about the state affairs.

The rest of the ministers in the court were silent at this moment. Apart from being shocked by the whimsical cannonball and intending to wait and see for a while, they were also a little uncertain which god Wenjie represented behind.

We are all colleagues, and our moral standards are basically in the same depression. Leaving aside those foolish words like "out of righteous indignation", everyone thinks about only one question - who exactly does Wenjie represent and what is his purpose?
Seeing that the scene fell into a cold spot, the minister in charge of finance finally couldn't help but step out first.

"Your Majesty, the financial budget for this year has been determined as early as the beginning of the year. Now that there is such a huge amount of expenditure, I am afraid that the national treasury will not be able to support it."

"It doesn't matter, Qin Tianjian has already predicted that this year's weather can be said to be smooth and rainy, without disasters and disasters, and there will be no major disasters. You can use some of the disaster relief budget saved in the past two years."

(In Douerli, there is indeed such an institution as Qin Tianjian, which is set up as a divination weather institution, although it was only mentioned once as a background board and became a real eunuch)

At the end of the team of courtiers, in the team of eunuchs whose presence was almost non-existent, the people from Qin Tianjian only felt that they were in a cold sweat.

Good weather, no disasters, no troubles... They fucking say that every year at the beginning of the year!Those who wear court clothes know that they shouldn't take it seriously, it's just to say something auspicious for the sake of color.

As far as the scientific level of Douluo Continent is concerned, the weather forecast within a week is very difficult. Every New Year's time, predicting the weather of this year is at best a sense of ritual.

But at this time, it was obvious that someone was serious, and the people of Qin Tianjian immediately fell into a state of bewilderment-after all, they couldn't clarify that they were talking nonsense.

Fortunately, the Minister of Finance never expected these capons to play any role, but said solemnly:
"Whether it costs money or how much it costs, I and other professionals have done a large number of professional and accurate calculations. Deputy Commander Wen, as a military attache, you want to intervene in how the country's finances are spent, which is beyond your reach."

Wen Jie's pupils shrank when he heard the words, as if his acting personality was having a seizure, he said in surprise:

"Strange, you said that this year's budget is unaffordable. I'm just giving you a little personal opinion on how to solve the problem based on facts. You don't consider whether my suggestion is feasible, but you only grasp some imperfections behind your sincere heart It’s too inappropriate to be entangled everywhere.”

Wang Yiheng wished he could step forward and pull Wen Jie back with exaggerated expressions, but seeing that His Majesty and the Crown Prince hadn't spoken yet to set the tone, he had no choice but to restrain his legs that were about to move.

On the contrary, the minister in charge of dealing with the military affairs saw that the debate on the field was turning into a personal attack, so he gritted his teeth and decided to go forward to put out the fire.

"Deputy Division Commander Wen, the Military and Political Department only has so many people. If the plan is revised so suddenly and large-scale military activities are carried out, I am afraid that even the personnel who made the plan will not be able to gather."

"It's so easy for you to touch your lips. I'm afraid that in order to support such a large-scale transfer, half of our country's military machinery will be shut down. The available personnel of the Military and Political Department cannot be transferred from other places..."

Although the military organization of the Sun Moon Empire ranked No. 1 in the Douluo Continent competition, it is still in a very primitive state overall, and there is no such thing as the General Staff, and in the future it will have to rely on the emperor and queen God of War personal wisdom.

"I've considered what you said."

Wen Jie nodded in agreement, but turned serious.

"But as far as I know, the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs has an organization in the west that is not much smaller than that in the east. I don't know how many elites who graduated from famous schools have spent their time in the west, depressed, and have no ambitions..."

"It's enough to use them all. Otherwise, what are they doing to write and draw on the map of the west? Study how to use the army to resist the invasion of sea spirit beasts?"

"Or, the western department of the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs is busy discussing what to do if another continent hits from the west? Are you treating the Sun Moon Empire as cabbage? Can you still wholesale a second one?"

The output rhythm of the Minister of Military and Political Affairs was interrupted for a while.

The western organization of the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs...it is really a well-known idle agency. It is usually used to arrange some rich and powerful children who have gone to prestigious schools to be gilded but have no ability at all, or to send out those who have been marginalized in internal struggles. loser.

I have been in a daze for the west, which has no neighboring countries and only a sea. I am afraid that the only serious business of the western department of the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs is to occasionally suppress various rebel armies.

Wen Jie's series of self-destructive and weird low-emotional intelligence eyes made the atmosphere in the court hall even more obscure. Everyone has their own thoughts and calculations.

Finally, His Majesty the Emperor with drooping heavy eyelids reacted.

"Prince, what do you think of Wen Jie's words?"

With a look of surprise on his face, Xu Tianran, who seemed shocked by the army's lone behavior, seemed to have finally come to his senses when he heard the words, and shook his head again and again:

"Soldiers are the most important weapon of the country, such important military affairs can only be ordered by the emperor."

The emperor shook his head slowly, as if he might be able to knock his head off if he tilted his head too hard.

"After all, you are the crown prince of my Sun Moon Empire. If you don't know anything about military affairs, how can I be relieved after a hundred years?"

Xu Tianran sighed secretly in his heart: "If I am so proficient in military affairs, Father, you may be worried about me before you die."

"Deputy Commander Wen has a good saying. Xiaoxiao from all walks of life dare to raid Mingde Hall today, and tomorrow they dare to attack and kill all your lovers, and they will dare to assassinate me in the future!"

The old emperor said in a deep voice, but listening to his voice, it seemed that his voice was blocked by something, and it was cloudy.

"Are you dear friends still willing to share my worries?"

All the ministers under the stage said in unison: "The ministers are willing to share the worries for His Majesty!"

It's just that if they ask them how to share their worries for His Majesty at this time, they will definitely not be able to hold back a fart for a long time.

"Prince, tell me, how should we deal with the opinion of Deputy Division Chief Wen?"

Why is this still holding on to me?
Xu Tianran suppressed a little boredom in his heart, and evaded:
"Father, important military and state affairs are by no means child's play. You should think twice before acting. You should also give your ministers some time to think about it. It is better to discuss it in a few days."

"Okay, then listen to your prince and discuss it in three days."

The ministers breathed a sigh of relief, it's good that you don't need to express your opinion on the spot, as long as you leave some time for them to connect with each other, it will be much more comfortable.

After the court was over, Jing Hongchen, who returned to Mingde Hall, was very anxious. He felt as if he was surrounded by an invisible net again, and the smell of conspiracy and tricks entered his nostrils.

"Grandpa...why are you so frowning? The funds for the reconstruction of Mingde Hall have been blocked?"

Just brought Ye Guyi to see the Mingdu auction house's ability to devour wealth like a gold-selling cave. Meng Hongchen returned to Mingde Hall and found that Jing Hongchen's state was obviously not very right.

"It's a little more troublesome than that..."

Looking at his beloved granddaughter, Jing Hongchen directly told her about the changes that happened when the imperial court was approaching.

"Wenjie... I'm not very familiar with it, but you are right, grandpa, this is too abnormal. What do you think, grandpa?"

"Me? From the point of view of me and Mingdetang, there is nothing to do. No matter what His Majesty decides in the end, it will not have any important impact on us. But Grandpa is worried that there is something I don't know, which will make me make a mistake. cause disaster."

Jing Hongchen was still worrying about the invisible mastermind behind the scenes.Mingdetang may be considered an arms dealer, but Jing Hongchen himself is not a warmonger.

The main reason is that he himself has no further hope, and the hope now is to completely consolidate the status of the Hongchen family after the children are promoted to the Title Douluo.

So... Even if you really want to fight, it's better not now, at least you have to wait until those little guys are in the climate and have the ability to show off a big bite on the cake of war dividends.

Anyway, some of the armaments will be steadily updated every year. This is the golden rice bowl that Mingdetang has always held. Jing Hongchen's desire for war fortune is not very strong.

"Master!"

Just when Jing Hongchen was frowning, there was a knock on the door, and someone brought the latest news.

"Congratulations to Mr. Kong."

…………

Shrek City, night.

Huo Yuhao looked at the decorations of the shops in Shrek City, wandering around as a tourist.

"It feels the same as when I came here a few years ago."

With his hands in his pockets, Huo Yuhao said to Xiao Hongchen who was acting as a tour guide beside him.

Back then, in order to save his first travel expenses, he had sold grilled fish in Shrek City for a while, so he definitely had no knowledge of Shrek City.

It's just that time has passed, but his mentality has changed a lot from before.

For example, in order to save his first pot of gold back then, Huo Yuhao could only salivate at the various attractive products in Shrek City, but he couldn't even pay for them.When he left Shrek City to run away, except for a few necessary supplies, he was not willing to buy a single thing.

Now... still haven't bought a single thing.

Huo Yuhao has become accustomed to treating some things that he could only stare at in the window as a daily intermittent supplement, and he really can't think of spending money to buy them. After all, he can eat and drink with public funds when he returns in a few days.

As for some good things that are special products of Shrek City, Yan Shaozhe hasn't given a specific and clear answer yet, and it's obviously delayed, but Huo Yuhao doesn't care too much, and he can get some things after all, let's see before leaving See what is missing and make up for it.

As for the well-known auction houses such as the Starlight Auction House, Gu Xiao Hongchen said that there was nothing worth paying attention to in the auctions these days.

The two passed a street corner, and the originally noisy street seemed to have pressed the mute button. Not only did all kinds of noise disappear, but the atmosphere also became a little mysterious and seductive.

There was a kitsch scent in the air.

Huo Yuhao turned his head and looked, the width of the alley on his right was obviously half narrower than the normal street, and the source of a series of changes was this alley.

On the second floor of the building where the alley is connected to the main road, several strings of huge red lanterns hang on it, which looks inexplicably festive, as if inviting people to come in for a feast.

Huo Yuhao stretched out his fingers to those huge strings of red lanterns, and said with his head:

"Laugh, what is this place, I don't feel like it's anything..."

Noticing that Huo Yuhao was twisting and turning, he came to this place without paying attention, Xiao Hongchen's complexion changed, and he quickly strode forward and pressed Huo Yuhao's head, and stretched out his hand to cover Huo Yuhao's eyes.

"This is the notorious red-light district. If you dare to enter this kind of place, I will fight for your dream!"

Hearing the name that verified his guess, the corners of Huo Yuhao's mouth twitched, but then he smiled.

"Did you forget that I have mental detection, and I don't need to open my eyes to... I'm Zhuo!"

Huo Yuhao's complexion changed suddenly, and the hidden flying soul guide behind him was instantly activated. With the sound of breaking wind, the two wings stretched out at a speed beyond normal under the urging of soul power.

"what?!"

Xiao Hongchen was confused by Huo Yuhao's sudden exclamation, but what made him even more confused was still to come. Huo Yuhao not only suddenly activated the flying soul guide, but also directly hugged his waist , take him up from the ground at the fastest speed!

The figures of the two had just left the ground for a moment, and their original positions were shrouded in violent explosions.

"Huo Yuhao, have you provoked someone to assassinate you again?"

Xiao Hongchen, whose mind was spinning rapidly, asked suddenly.

"Why not concoct you?"

"Nonsense, I've been in Shrek City for so long, anyone who wants to deal with me has already started!"

Although he kept talking nonsense, Huo Yuhao didn't stop moving. The flying soul guide took him and Xiao Hongchen away from the original explosion zone quickly.

A string of huge red lanterns fell with a "bang" from the second floor beside the alley, and a series of exclamations and curses resounded throughout the alley.

Pedestrians on the street began to flee in all directions the moment the explosion sounded, and their chaotic fleeing exacerbated the chaos, triggering a series of stampedes.

Xiao Hongchen swallowed, with a lingering look of shock in his eyes.

"It doesn't matter which one of us... dare to use force in Shrek City, are they going to die?"
