It took a total of ten days for this tour to hunt in the mountains. The harvest was quite abundant, but unfortunately, many guards died in the wolf pack's encounter.

What makes me most happy is that after this incident, Lin'er and Changping became much more sensible. After dealing with the vicious wolf pack, Lin'er became much more courageous. The slightly cowardly expression on his face was nowhere to be found, but instead he had a hint of toughness.

Changping felt more about family affection and his temper was not as strange as before. He would act coquettishly towards her father and make me happy.

The two little ghosts were driven to ride their horses by me. I lay leisurely on my little legs, eating the oranges peeled from my hands, enjoying the extraordinary.

"By the way, Xiaoxiao. How did you find me?" I remembered this question and asked immediately.

Xiaoxiaoyu put her hand on my forehead and rolled her eyes and said, "You are so heartless, you never miss me. You actually put me in the wardrobe, and you have been in your wardrobe for three years. As soon as I got out of seclusion, I found out that you went to Wuyuanshan to hunt and followed you all the way. You don't know how hard I have worked."

"Haha." I smiled awkwardly: "I saw that you couldn't wake up after eating that crystal core. Later, I went to war and put you in the closet. Fortunately, you finally woke up. Do you know that I was so worried about you that I would go to the closet to see you every day before going to bed and when I woke up." Lies are the surname Tian of humans. Anyway, Xiaoxiao has been asleep, and I don't know if I looked at her.

The little eyes lit up and said tenderly: "Master, are you telling the truth?"

"Of course." I patted my chest and promised, "You don't have any jokes."

"Your Majesty, you are so nice. Xiaoxiao never wants to leave you in her life." As Xiaoxiao said, he leaned gently into my arms. His figure and movement seemed to be unique, and he was full of charm. He smelled the unique charm of her, and the numbness and itchiness immediately climbed into his heart.

It's worthy of being a vixen, which makes me feel so comfortable. After Xiaoxiao used the [***] operation on me, her whole body began to warm up and flutter. I did not use internal energy to wake myself up. I knew that Xiaoxiao's affection for me would not be malice.

"Your Majesty, Xiaoxiao wants it." The tip of the little tongue gently licked the sensitive part of my ears, and the surname blew the breath in my ears.

Her desire suddenly aroused, she laughed and pressed her back on the chair: "Let me come and meet you, the vixen."

...

I returned to the capital with endless spring scenery. Only now did I understand that King Zhou was so addicted to beauty. Xiaoxiao was indeed a beauty in heaven, a beautiful person, and a real person. Her enjoyment was far more than several times stronger than the last time she was in her sea of ​​consciousness.

Fortunately, I have reached the level of the king, and I am determined, and Xiaoxiao has no malicious intention to confuse me. Only then can I still maintain a clear mind.

This time I went out for nearly twenty days, and it was not a big deal to leave for so long. In the past three years, I have vigorously developed internal affairs, and everything has been on track. A group of officials who can't do any jobs have been cleaned up. Nowadays, officials are carefully selected by the Ministry of Personnel. They can't be said to be top-notch, but they are also very capable. Not to mention that I left for twenty days, even two hundred days will not be a big problem.

"The old minister will meet the emperor."

As soon as I came back, I met with Taifu Qin. Although Taifu Qin is not the position of prime minister, his power is almost no different from that of the prime minister. Many government affairs have gradually been transferred to Taifu Qin under my deliberate arrangement. In recent years, Taifu Qin has really put in hard work. Therefore, now I can get out of such busy government affairs.

"Master Qin is so anxious to see me. Is there anything important?" I said with a slight concern: "Master Qin, you have suffered over the years." Even though Master Qin has reached the level of a king, his appearance will not age anymore. However, all the heavy government affairs have been pressed on his shoulders. He has been very tired over the years. His originally gray hair is now completely white. It turns out that the skin of a baby is as tender as a baby, and there is even a hint of fatigue in his eyes.

"The emperor does not need to worry too much. Although the old minister is old, he is still energetic." Taifu Qin said with a serious look: "When he is alive, he will die without regrets. The emperor, let's talk about some serious matters."

My face turned right and I asked quickly, "Is something important?" Looking at the face of Master Qin, it should be that something big happened, otherwise it would not be so serious.

"A big thing happened," Taifu Qin's eyes were filled with his eyes and said angrily: "The crisis that the emperor told the old minister more than three years ago has finally come."

"Three years ago?" I thought for a moment, then reacted quickly, and said coldly: "Did the crisis come from the distant West?"

"That's true. The old minister just received 800-mile emergency information from Quanzhou Prefecture, saying that the local port was attacked by four or five unknown fleets, but was strongly counterattacked by the Quanzhou Port's god-machine crossbows, barely repelled those fleets. Fortunately, the emperor had foresighted and set up heavy god-machine crossbows in coastal ports, otherwise Quanzhou Port would probably fall. Once Quanzhou falls, if its troops are allowed to be transported, it is likely that the entire Guangdong and Fujian provinces will fall one after another." Qin Taishi said worriedly: "After repelling the enemy, two fleets also dispatched to track them, for fear that the fleets would not force the port to land and do things that harm the coastal residents."

"Hmph." I slapped the table and said angrily: "That was when they fought all the way and tasted the sweetness. I thought the Great Wu Empire was as easy to pinch like the soft persimmons in Southeast Asia in Africa. Tai Shi Qin ordered the Coast Defense Department to go deep into the sea of ​​Japan. We will be fully martial law. Any fleet dares to enter the warning waters, and will be killed without any doubt."

In the past three years, while vigorously developing internal affairs, military growth has not been relaxed. In particular, I deeply know that sea disasters must be inevitable, and the combat fleet is the object of my vigorous development. Today, the Great Wu Dynasty has 50,000 naval forces, more than 300 small combat ships of various types, more than 50 medium combat ships, and five dragon-class combat ships, all equipped with powerful divine machine crossbows. In addition, the main coastal ports are equipped with fixed heavy divine machine crossbows, with a longer range and greater power.

"Your Majesty, there is another strange place in the news from Quanzhou." Taifu Qin frowned slightly: "When he was fighting with the enemy at Quanzhou Port, a fleet emerged from somewhere to help Quanzhou Port attack the Western fleet. Strangely, the ship shape of that fleet is almost the same as the ship shape of the fleet attacking Quanzhou Port. Will it be a rebellion?"

I thought for a while, then shook my head and said, "I don't understand very well if the amount of information is insufficient. However, now it is an extraordinary period, so it is better to handle everything carefully. That fleet is also placed within the warning range. Unless they are willing to disarm, they are not allowed to enter the capital."

"Well, the old minister also thinks that this is more appropriate." Taifu Qin thought for a moment: "If you relax your vigilance, if it is the other party's bitter plan, it will be bad. Please give the emperor a mobilization order and military talisman. The old minister will go and mobilize the navy of the Coast Defense Department."

My internal power is very strong, but the military power is firmly grasped. Any transfer of more than a thousand people must have a transfer order and jade talisman written by me personally. After the transfer is completed, the transfer order and military talisman must be returned to me as soon as possible.

I thought about it for a while and then said, "No, I want to personally command the army this time. Although our navy is well equipped, it has never dealt with the European fleet. Taifu, during these days when I am not here, Dawu will be left to you to manage."

"Your Majesty, it may be too dangerous for the emperor to personally fight." Taifu Qin frowned slightly and persuaded him with all his might.

"I have decided, so there is no need to say more." I said seriously, then smiled again, "Don't look at those guys who are fierce and dare to attack Quanzhou Port in a fierce manner. That was because they fought in other places, and thought Quanzhou Port was just as unbeatable. After suffering this loss, they would consider it carefully before taking action again. Those Westerners are all mean bones, and they will be obedient only if they beat them up."

Tai Fu Qin wanted to persuade him, but I decided to come back with a word of my heart. However, he still had some confidence in me. After all these years of dealings, he also knew that I always had wonderful ideas and achieved incredible success.

In the third day of preparation, I received another good news. The technical book left by Yu Yingying has always been the focus of research in the Science and Technology Department of the Ministry of Industry. The person in charge of the Science and Technology Department was Tang Yi, a genius girl who was also responsible for researching firearms. This girl was a military man who fell head-on in the Ministry of Industry and researched, but she refused to come out. In order to study those wonderful wooden mechanisms, she even captured all the people with good skills in the Tang Sect to work for her in the capital, including her grandfather, Mr. Tang Lei.

After hearing this news, I immediately rushed to the Science and Technology Department with the person from the Ministry of Industry to report the news. As early as three years ago, the East Factory secretly searched for crystal cores everywhere. As the search efforts and experience increased, many crystal cores have been stored in recent years. However, the Science and Technology Department has not been able to imitate the first thing in Yingying's book, the Wood Tiger, so the beautiful crystal cores, except for a small number, were tested, most of the rest were stored in the basement of the treasury.
