Shen Tang remembered this incident with embarrassment.

"Ahem, this is just a lie, and the marriage process of aristocratic families is cumbersome. It is usually prepared one or two years after the crowning ceremony for men and the hairpin ceremony for women. In the meantime, if you think of some way to delay it, the southwest can be included in the pocket in at least three years. middle."

Shen Tang is not a crazy boss.

Where would you sacrifice the marriage of your subordinates for the sake of your own great cause?

Unless, you and I are willing.

Miao Na raised his head in surprise: "Three years?"

The way she looked at Shen Tang changed a little more than before, as if she was looking at a miracle. If someone else said that they conquered the Southwest Continent in three years, Miao Ne would think that this person was unruly and had no other abilities except his breath. In reality, Will teach you how to be a good person.

But the person who said this was Shen Youli.

In more than ten years, he went from poverty to integrating the northwest forces, and also turned the two cancers of Shiwu and Beimo into the legendary founding monarch of his own backyard. Everything is difficult at the beginning, but as long as you get through the stage of primitive accumulation, everything will fall into place.

"Otherwise? I said that these three years were all about giving face to the countries in the southwest. They are not the same size as the Kang State today, in terms of territory, population, and national strength. I sent you and Kewu here to cooperate overtly and covertly. It is not for Mei Jinghe alone, it is just incidental to deal with her. The real purpose is to slow down the expansion of Qi State in the past three years and fall into the vortex of mutual suspicion between the monarch and his ministers... to end the trend of the southwest countries being vaguely led by Qi State... to let all countries It is impossible to cohere into a single rope. If the people in the Northern Desert and Gao Country do not need to be appeased, be wary of chaos in various places, and the soldiers need to rest, it is not impossible to organize the troops and horses to attack the southwest now. "

She didn't even have to worry about how to raise military rations.

The territory of Kang State has a bumper harvest every year, and relatively complete intelligence transmission departments have been established in various places. Any sign of natural danger must be reported as soon as possible. Coupled with the existence of the Taishi Bureau and Qin Li, there is no such thing as floods, droughts, locust plagues... exist.

The common people worked for a year and paid the land tax. The food left over could not only feed the family, but also save a lot of money, buy clothes for the family all year round, renovate the house, and no longer suffer from hunger. This kind of life in the past The heyday of human civilization is not worth mentioning, but for the bottom class who have suffered from hundreds of years of chaos, it is already a peaceful and prosperous age that they can't even dream of...

The Battle of Bei Mo and the Battle of Gao Kingdom were basically fought on the enemy's territory. Except for the forced migration of the people on the border, the people in Kang State basically didn't feel much. For more than a year, the sun rises and the sun sets, and I occasionally sigh with emotion. A road appeared somewhere.

Shen Tang does have the capital to attack the southwest.

Miao Ne felt that the burden on her shoulders was heavier.

She twitched her lips: "But this, this important matter related to the national destiny of Kang State, is only left to the grassroots and Cui Nujun..."

Do you think too highly of them both?

Shen Tang smiled and said: "How can it be just the two of you?"

Other countries planted spies for Kang State, and Kang State was not stupid. Naturally, they would also plant spies in other places. Some of these spies were just pawns, and some were just subordinates. They looked inconspicuous, but at critical moments they would also send big spies. use.

Miao Ne let out a long sigh of relief after hearing this.

Shen Tang changed the subject: "However, you two are indeed the highest-status among the spies, and your weight is very important. You don't have to worry about Ke Wu, even if he is exposed, Cui Zhi will not touch him. The combined scheming of the couple can There are eight hundred, but you are different. Hide yourself and protect yourself. If it is leaked, the best thing to do is escape and save your life! Do you understand?"

This was completely different from Miao Ne's initial expectations.

"Spies are equal to dead soldiers, and survival is a cowardly act of betraying one's master."

Shouldn't you just ask for death if your identity is exposed?

Shen Tang: "If you are my general, of course I can ask you like this, but you are just doing nothing in the field. Helping me is Ximin who already understands the righteousness. How can I ask you to lose another life?"

Miao Ne's mission is very important!

But it doesn't mean that it cannot be completed and the battle cannot be fought.

Miao Na said: "The common people will not let Mr. Shen down."

Even if the opponent is Mei Jinghe, who has deep roots in Qi State, the enemy is overt and we are covert, as long as the alienation tactic is used well, it is still unclear who will win. As soon as Shen Tang stood up, he remembered another thing: "By the way, my incarnation." Wu You' will also be active in the southwest. If you have any difficulties or need cooperation, you can find Wu You and he will contact me as soon as possible. In addition, another person will come to contact you after a while. If anything happens, You can find him."

"If I dare to ask, who is this person?"

"Shang Shu Sheng, Zuo Pushe, Liao Jia."

Naturally, Liao Jia came to the southwest to find opportunities to perfect the way of being a scribe. His consummation ceremony was too deceptive. Shen Tang could not let him harm his own people in the northwest territory. If Mei Jinghe planned to start a second consummation ceremony, then Even better.

As an enemy, you don't have to feel guilty if you cause harm.

Miao Ne took a deep breath.

Liao Jia's background obviously exceeded her psychological expectations.

When the conversation was almost over, Shen Tang raised his hand to break the barrier of words and spirits. It happened that the palace also sent someone to summon Miao Ne. Miao Ne said gently: "Can the angel wait in the hall for a while while the daughter of the people washes up and puts on makeup?"

The waiter who delivered the message had a very good attitude.

He said in a sharp voice: "My lady, please."

Shen Tang had already left quietly.

Miao Ne herself is a lady from a noble family. Even if there are differences in etiquette between the northwest and southwest, she can still pass the test with careful attention and surprise training. In addition, her practice has made her aura restrained, and she is more like a flying swallow and a dragon than a serious southwest lady.

"My nephew has met his uncle."

"Get up quickly."

The eyes of the king's male favorite cannot be suppressed with amazement.

He had seen his niece when she was young. She was really cute in pink and jade, but he didn't know what she would look like when she grew up. He only heard from her family that she had an outstanding appearance and was good enough to be a queen. Unfortunately, the current ruler of the country does not have the habit of sharpening mirrors. , the man’s favorite does not need to ask his niece to help him maintain his favor. The niece has the talent for cultivation and good looks. If she can enter the court, she will be a big help to him after he establishes a firm foothold!

But these words cannot be said openly.

He had a nice chat with his niece.

She asked her how her parents, brothers and sisters were doing at home, and if there were any shortages, she took a long detour before turning the topic on the right track and asked: "I heard from your father that you fell in love with Cui Houbai at first sight?"

Miao Ne nodded without blushing: "Yeah."

The male favorite scolded: "My daughter's family doesn't know how to be shy."

Miao responded calmly and generously: "Why should my nephew be shy? The daughters of Qi State all follow the example of the king, dare to love and hate! Dare to think and do! If you like it, you are happy, and if you don't like it, you are not happy. Why should you say things that go against your heart? Be rigid.

What kind of virtuous woman's ring? You have to fight for the person you like, and you can't wait for God to be kind and give you one."

The male favorite was happy in his heart, but he said: "Nonsense."

Miao Ne sighed in aggrieved manner and stopped talking back.

Because her goal has been achieved.

The sermon about men's favorites had just begun when a lazy female voice came from behind the screen: "Well said, this is the style that Qi Guo's daughter should have. Coy and coquettish, neither fighting nor grabbing, it is better to twist your hair and find a temple.

Sister-in-law, forget it if your six roots are pure."

Miao Ne seemed to have just discovered that there was a third person.

There was a moment of panic, and then I remembered that this was the inner courtyard of a temporary palace. There was no other woman besides the king who could say this in my uncle's house. She bowed and said, "The daughter of the people has met the king."

When the woman turned out from the screen, the room was filled with brilliance.

"Did it scare you?"

Miao Na shook his head: "My Lord, the beauty of the sky, the beauty of the country, the women of the people feel ashamed when they see it, and it is too late to marvel, how can they be afraid?"

No one likes sweet words, let alone refuses compliments on one's appearance. Even the king is not immune to this. The king himself is interested in his niece, and it was only when he met her in person that he realized it was a surprise.

The child's character versus his own appetite: "You just said that women from Qi State should dare to love, hate, think and do? Do you still want to use Gu as a role model?"

Miao Ne nodded and said: "Every word of the folk girl is true."

The king motioned for her to continue.

Miao Ne opened her beautiful eyes that no one could resist, and spoke sincerely, word by word: "People's daughters don't understand other big principles. They only know that if there is no king, how many daughters of the Qi Kingdom will be buried in the backyard.

They have been trapped in a small place all their lives. Don’t talk about the far ones, only talk about the nearby ones. The women of the country are what they are today because of the blessings of the country’s master.”

The king was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

Although what Miao Ne said was not entirely correct, it did please her, and the worries caused by the friction with Mei Meng also dissipated a lot. She waved to Miao Ne and motioned to sit closer: "The Cui family is from a wealthy family.

, Cui Houbai is the next head of the Cui family..."

Miao Ne showed the unique anxiety and worry of a young girl.

"Your Majesty, what you mean is that civilian women shouldn't have extravagant thoughts?"

The head of the country said: "There is indeed a big difference between your background and his. The Cui family values ​​​​family status, so I'm afraid it will not be easy."

Miao Ne was a little discouraged, but soon his eyes became firm again.

The king teased her: "You still don't want to give up?"

Miao Na said: "No matter how powerful the Cui family is, they can't surpass the master of a country. If the master grants a marriage, let alone a commoner girl, even if she is born in the market, she can still enter the Cui family!"

The sky is big and the earth is big, even a noble family cannot be bigger than the king of the country.

Although it was a child's talk, it also made the king happy.

"Why did I grant you a marriage?"

Miao Ne: "The loyalty of a common girl to the Lord can be seen in the sun and the moon! If she can make great contributions, she will naturally be a match for the eldest son of the Cui family!"

The male favorite listened with fear.

For fear that the king would change his face on the spot and drag his niece down to kill her.

However, the scene he feared did not happen.

The king just looked at the girl for a long time, as if he wanted to see her sincerity through these determined black eyes. Just when the atmosphere reached a deadlock, the king gently pinched Miao Ne's cheek, and his eyes seemed to be reminiscing about something: "Although there is

You are ambitious, but you must also have the ability to match it, otherwise it will just become a laughing stock, do you understand?"

"Women of the people should remember the teachings."

The king of the country kept Miao Na by his side as a female official.
