Your Majesty the Empress, I am really not a traitor!

The girl looked much younger than the man in white, with her long, pale hair tied behind her back, and she was wearing a robe underneath.

The robe of Tianshi Mansion showed a very gentle and elegant image on the man in white, but when worn on this little girl, it immediately showed a slightly clumsy and cuteness.It can be seen that whether a type of clothing is suitable for a person still depends on the body shape.

"It's done, I think, there is no reason for their family to reject such a proposal."

The man in white walked up to the girl, and the girl stretched out her hand naturally, letting the man in white pull her up.

"Is it a little too cautious for His Majesty to send the two of us for this matter? In fact, I think it is enough to find a foreign official for this matter." She raised the cane beside her, and then supported her body .

"No, negotiating with people like them requires a certain amount of force as a basis. Besides... this is just a mission for the two of us to do along the way. Don't forget our main mission."

When the man said this, the movements of his hands did not stop at all, and he did not forget to wipe and maintain his sword while chatting.

"For us, the main tasks and secondary tasks can be done at will. In the end, Zhu Tianshi, this is just a task for you, a new celestial master, to practice in the court."

When the girl speaks, she always smiles. On her immature face, this smile looks harmless to humans and animals.

However, for "Tianshi Zhu", her disguise is really unnecessary.

"Thanks to seniors for taking care of me, but, I think, since it is the order received by the Tianshi Mansion, it should not be an easy task." He talked about seniors, but in fact, the relationship between the two seemed to be the same. It is the 'senior', "We set off today, and tomorrow we should be able to reach the dwelling place of the gods that the Saar people said."

"Don't you prepare something more?"

"There is no need for that, I have enough things on me," Zhu Tianshi patted his bag, which was filled with various talisman papers and materials for releasing formations, "These extraneous things are just It’s all just a little bit of help, the one who really plays a key role is myself.”

"Then you still have so much?"

"Ling Tianshi has inconvenient legs and feet. I think if you have these, you will be able to deal with danger more freely."

Zhu Tianshi said with a smile.

"Zhu Tianshi was joking." The girl—or, Ling Tianshi's pure smile seemed to be unworldly, she gently raised her cane, and paused on the ground.

In an instant, a heat wave spread to the surroundings, the water vapor contained in the ground evaporated, and the air was scorching hot.

And Zhu Tianshi knew that this was just the girl's "performance", not the actual effect.

She can achieve a terrifying heat wave that melts gold and stone within the range of her eyes, that is to say, almost no one can pass through such spells and attack her.

Not to mention, she doesn't have this hand alone.As a celestial master, being able to fight is one aspect, but on the other hand, one has to be able to survive.

"You see, even if I don't need your protection, I can protect myself enough. What Zhu Tianshi should do is to concentrate on doing the errands requested by His Majesty, and the rest is out of your consideration. As for me, Just treat me as a shadow."

"Understood, I underestimated you." Zhu Tianshi smiled.

"It's okay, I appreciate your kindness."

After saying this, she opened her vermilion lips lightly, and her silver bell-like voice sounded along with the ancient syllables, and the surrounding heat completely disappeared within these few short syllables.

"Let's go, we have to hurry. As for the king, someone will help."

"King? King Thrall is in the royal court now, right?"

"I speak of the future King Thrall."

Ling Tianshi watched the other party lead a horse, and then let the other party carry him on the horse's back.

"Do you think the throne will be hers?"

"It's not going to be hers, but it must be hers," Ling Tianshi pulled the rein, "Zhu Tianshi, for Daxia, Wuheya is a very suitable King Saar. The Taiwei's eyes on people Sometimes it is more accurate. In this kind of matter, we and His Majesty can trust him. What we need to beware of is not his ability, nor his loyalty, but that he knows something that he should not know. After that, will there be any actions to interfere with us?"

"The captain doesn't look like that kind of person."

"I think so too. However, before His Majesty took the throne, all the actions of the Taiwei almost disrupted our layout. We dare not imagine what an ambitious guy who is not under any control will do. Fortunately, Later, the Taiwei stopped in time, otherwise..."

Master Ling didn't continue talking.But neither of them knew what was going to happen next.

The matter of the Taiwei's domination of the government almost caused the Heavenly Master in charge to change the layout.If he continues to follow his own thinking, Tianshi Mansion will have to take coercive measures.

Fortunately, he didn't. His Majesty's several attempts roughly tested his bottom line, which made Tianshi Mansion breathe a sigh of relief.

However, the Tianshi Mansion still dare not fully trust him, and so does His Majesty.It's not because His Majesty and Tianshifu are suspicious by nature, but because none of them dare to make a wrong step when it comes to the fate of Great Xia and even the world.

"In short, let's do the things in front of us first. There will be many similar things in the future."

As Ling Tianshi said, he clamped the horse's stomach with a very light force. This steed, which is very familiar with its owner, knows the meaning of the person on its back without extra movements. In the darkness.

Chapter 29 Qin Ji's Meeting Plan

Wu Heya was not aware of all the actions of the Tianshi Mansion.

She has just mastered part of the army, and then she set her sights on other border families.

Yes, as a person who is not qualified to seize the throne, Wuheya's goal was very clear from the beginning. Since it is difficult to win the throne from the perspective of legitimacy, he should directly seize it by force.This kind of thing may be difficult, but it is definitely one of the most effective methods.

During this process, what she didn't realize was that Qin Siyue was also "supporting" Wuheya's actions behind the scenes.

As the person in charge of the external intelligence of the Gray Scale Division, Qin Siyue immediately made strategic adjustments based on the current situation in the northern border of Great Xia after learning about Wuheya's current situation.

On the one hand, she and Qin Ji made preparations together, and modified the defense of the troops on the front line. Instead of relying on favorable terrain and passes to resist, she chose the areas where it was easiest for them to face the enemy - and the easiest Deploy areas that are easily spotted by the enemy.

"Brother, this is the modified defense map, can you see what's wrong?"

Qin Siyue submitted a deployment map to Qin Ji, which was adjusted according to the recent border deployment, and, in Qin Siyue's thinking, she also selected several suitable logistics supply routes up.

"Very well, I have no problem, Siyue, sooner or later you will be alone in the future, as a brother, I have seen some good things."

Social terror is still social terror, but the current Qin Siyue is still very strong in talent. In this regard, Qin Ji believes that she will grow better.

The advantage of this kind of defense is that the front is flat, Daxia's troops can form any formation and organize an attack of any scale, and the enemy here also has not many natural dangers to defend.

In fact, the border soldiers of the Saar Dynasty have complained more than once that they controlled too few dangerous places, but this is an unsolvable deadlock. The troops of Daxia can firmly control the construction of these dangerous places. The pass, in fact, is largely due to the continuous expansion of the territory of the first emperor and earlier emperors, thus forming the current territory.

Daxia's troops camp directly in flat areas, which is equivalent to clearly telling the other party that they are always ready to fight, and at the same time, once a war is launched, Daxia's army will drive straight in.

The pressure on the border forced the royal family to gradually strengthen the defense of the border area. Batches of weapons and equipment and soldiers were sent to the border area. Very full.

The defense of the border area was deliberately ignored and withheld by the royal family during times of peace, and at this time, the reinforcements provided by the royal family to the border did not exist—this was just to pay back the fact that they have been using the border troops at will. It's just "kindness".

Taking advantage of this time point, the families on the frontier hurriedly took the opportunity to expand their family size and improve the armed forces of their troops.

This method is actually not very difficult in Daxia. At the beginning of Daxia, more than one person in charge of border defense did this.But the ending is also the same, that is, these people have been dealt with strictly.

At the same time, Qin Ji also asked Xia Yuxiao to find a way to send personnel to have a careful discussion with those families on the border. Xia Yuxiao was obviously concerned about this matter.Within a few days, Qin Ji received the definite news that His Majesty seemed to have sent someone from the Tianshi Mansion to resolve the matter.

Regarding Xia Yuxiao's dispatch of Tianshifu, Qin Ji also hopes to get some information he wants from it, but obviously, these people don't like letting him get in touch with Tianshifu, Tianshifu has always been with himself Keep a certain distance.The communication on many matters in the military is quite good, but they interfere with domestic affairs, and they have less communication with themselves. Qin Ji can guess why on this point.

As for the matter of the Tianshi Mansion that Lingyan secretly investigated, there was no clue at all. Although Lingyan had been an apprentice under the Tianshi's hands, it was just some basic help.

In fact, Lingyan said at the beginning that the spells she learned were just the surface of the spells mastered by the celestial master. Moreover, at that time, Lingyan was only a temporary disciple because of her status. What kind of monsters are living in it?

"Sorry, master."

While eating, Lingyan said in a low voice.

This time, she went out to carry out the investigation mission and still found nothing, and this time, not only did she not get any news, but even the camouflage spell she was proud of was seen through.

And the celestial master who saw through her was the celestial master who had taught her.

This is a big embarrassment for his young master. You know, that celestial master knew exactly where his apprentice, who was not considered outstanding at the time, went, so when he caught his apprentice, Tianshi asked Lingyan to go back and told Qin Ji in a very calm and polite tone: what should be let him know, Tianshi Mansion will let him know; things that he doesn't want him to know are also for his own good to a certain extent.

"This is not your problem. Of course, failing to obtain information is due to your lack of strength, but Tianshi Mansion is not a fuel-efficient lamp. If possible, I don't want to use such abnormal means."

Now it seems that there is probably only one way to really know about the internal affairs of Tianshi Mansion——and that is to get information from Xia Yuxiao.

However, Qin Ji is very clear about Xia Yuxiao's character, she will not tell herself the secret of Tianshi Mansion at this time, at least, she will have to wait until after marriage.

Speaking of...

As the time of marriage drew closer, Qin Ji always felt that Lingyan's condition was not right.

Lingyan, who used to be "exuberant" in the past, suddenly changed her normal state during this period, no longer took the initiative to attack, but slept honestly every day, and no longer made any small moves.

In addition to these, Lingyan will often give herself some very nourishing things now, euphemistically saying that it is for the sake of the future prince's physique.

Others don't know about her, but Qin Ji knows very well that she can become so "normal", there must be a ghost, but he still doesn't know what she is doing.

And now, Qin Ji was going out again.

However, this trip was not for war, but to meet someone.

It is the "book man".

Qin Ji had planned ahead of time to meet Shuweng, but Xia Yuxiao never approved it because he was worried about his safety (Qin Ji could ignore her dissuasion and go directly, but it's not very good) , He didn't go to contact Shuweng with confidence until Lingyan sent someone to investigate the actual situation of the Shuweng and confirm the Shuweng's real name and specific background.

But this time, the meeting with Shuweng was in a county town at the foot of a mountain.

Chapter 30 Bookman

The county seat is very small, with two streets in the north and south, and three roads in the east and west, that's all.

This is the case with the counties in Daxia. The big ones are very prosperous, while the small ones, like this Fushan County, only have the most basic configuration of the county.

So far, the division of counties and counties left by the ancestors is still applicable, but Xia Yuxiao is currently considering whether to place a division in it in the future, so as to strengthen the jurisdiction of the local area and improve administrative efficiency, so as to adapt to the development of some developed areas in Daxia. Administrative management.

However, even if there is a new transition plan in the future, it will not be a "minimalist" small county like Fushan County.

"Master, this is the place where Shuweng meets you."

The carriage stopped, Lingyan lifted the curtain, said a few words to the coachman outside, and then turned to him.

"Okay, then get off here."

Qin Ji tidied up his sleeves, then stood up.

"Wait a minute, master."

In terms of protecting Qin Ji, Lingyan has always been very careful. She first held down Qin Ji's movement of getting up, and then poked her head out: "Check it out."

"Yes."

On this trip, Lingyan brought her most trusted scale guards, who were outstanding in terms of combat effectiveness and alertness, in order to be able to eliminate all dangers.

After receiving her order, the scale guards immediately started their respective operations, responsible for protecting the surroundings of the carriage, spreading out for vigilance, and confirming whether there were dangerous people hidden in the nearby buildings...

A few minutes later, Lingyan got out of the carriage, keeping an eye on her surroundings, and Qin Ji got out of the carriage afterward.

"You are too strict." Qin Ji was a little bit dumbfounded.

Lingyan is really too reassuring in this regard.

"Although the investigation is clear, young master, your status is important both in public and in private. I dare not make any mistakes. It's just the first time I've met the scholar, so I don't know what kind of person he is. It's better to be careful."

Lingyan smiled, keeping her hand on the ring-shou knife at her waist.
