Chapter forty-eight
Now the situation in the Emerald Sea is generally stable, and after seeing the Duke of Bones' altar, Qianye is somewhat sure that the werewolves are at least temporarily stable. Carol is left in charge, and with the support of the Hall of Heroes, everything is safe.
Qianye ordered Aiska and Xu Jingxuan to step up training of the new army, and also ordered to pay attention to the surrounding movements, so there was nothing to explain.
The equipment sent by Empress Li is not very refined and cannot be used for large-scale development of common minerals. It can only be used for the mining and smelting of rare minerals. Xudong Island is the perfect location.
The people Empress Li sent were also very particular, and it was obvious that they had put a lot of thought into it.
Li Wanqing is good at sensing, good at surveying terrain, loves nature, and is a good at prospecting. I don’t know why she, a pretty girl, would choose to learn these things. Li Panyu, on the other hand, studies the art of war and is determined to lead the army in war. Qianye wants to open up frontiers.
Earth, of course, is inseparable from war. This was the perfect opportunity, but for some unknown reason, this young man chose to conflict with Qianye.
Qianye has no interest in delving into Li Panyu's true thoughts, nor does he intend to indulge him. Qianye is not related to him, and his talents are not so bright that he must be his, so naturally he will not let others do what they want.
So when he returned to the empire this time, Qianye took Li Panyu with him and wanted to return him to the Li family. As for what punishment he would receive after returning, Qianye was not concerned about it.
Seeing that Qianye was really angry, Eunuch Liu didn't want to fight anymore, so he and Qianye boarded the high-speed aeroboat and returned to the empire all the way.
The aeroboat had the Imperial House logo and traveled smoothly all the way to Qinlu.
Along the way, they encountered a total of five interceptions and inquiries by the imperial fleet. Qianye saw them and had a deeper understanding of the advantages of the imperial outer space fleet. Obviously, after occupying the floating land, the empire obtained an excellent void transfer base.
The frequency of outer space fleet patrols has also increased accordingly.
The airship sailed into Qinlu, drove all the way to the Imperial Capital, and finally landed at a manor on the outskirts of the Imperial Capital.
The manor is quiet and elegant, with excellent scenery. Several buildings are hidden among the green trees. On the bank of the stream and pond, every flower and tree is full of craftsmanship. Even a person like Qianye who does not understand elegance feels refreshed after seeing it.
.
However, there is a murderous intention hidden in the elegance, and Qianye feels a few vague eyes staring at him from the hiding place. These eyes are sharp but almost invisible, showing that they are truly strong people. They should be the guards of the manor.
, and in this way quietly competed with outsiders like Qianye.
On ordinary occasions, this kind of peeping would definitely anger the person being peeped at, but if the peeper is not noticed or cannot be found, that is another matter.
Qianye seemed to be admiring the scenery, but inadvertently, his eyes paused at several places. In the blink of an eye, those prying eyes disappeared without a trace. Apparently they did not expect Qianye to be able to find out where they were so quickly.
.
Surprise flashed in Eunuch Liu's eyes, and then he remained calm and said with a smile: "The weather has been a bit boring these days. My Majesty is tired of staying in the palace, so I came here to relax. You happened to be in the imperial capital at this time, so I ordered
See you here."
Qianye nodded and said, "Please, father-in-law, please lead the way."
Eunuch Liu took Qianye all the way through flowers and willows to the front of the main courtyard, stopped at the gate and said, "Your Majesty, you are right inside. You can go in by yourself."
Qianye didn't feel the strong man's presence in the courtyard, so he pushed the door open and entered.
A soft and soft voice came from the courtyard: "You are here, please close the door."
Qianye closed the courtyard door as he was told, walked around the screen wall, and came to the courtyard. There was a small pond in the courtyard. There were several lotus plants growing in the pond, and fish were swimming under the lotus. There was a beauty standing by the pond.
, holding a wooden box in his hand, using a silver spoon to sprinkle fish food into the pond.
A small silver spoon was only enough for one fish. However, she was not in a hurry, and neither were the fish in the water. They swung their tails leisurely and contentedly in the small world, and came over to take a bite of any one that was close.
.
The wooden box is not big and the spoon is even smaller. I don’t know how long or how long I will feed her if this continues. But her movements are soft and light, and every move is so pleasing to the eye. Qianye just watches quietly from the side without showing any impatience.
In fact.
After an unknown amount of time, the fish food in the wooden box finally reached the bottom. She handed the wooden box to the maid aside, raised her head, smiled, and said to Qianye: "You are so patient."
She was Empress Li. Her smile at this moment seemed to make the whole courtyard a little brighter. Qianye did not dare to look more, and turned his eyes to the ground, saying: "Whoever is here must be very patient."
Empress Li smiled softly and said: "Of course not, those people are just pretending to be patient and don't know what they are thinking. You are different, you are just watching me feeding the fish."
These words sounded a bit awkward, and Qianye couldn't help but explain: "I see that every move of the empress is vaguely consistent with the Tianji Dao, so I thought about it carefully, and I didn't mean to offend."
Empress Li waved her hand and said: "There is no need to be so careful. From now on, you can relax when you are here with me and treat it as your own home."
Qianye would not accept this, so he immediately said: "How is this possible?"
Empress Li sat down in the chair and put her hands gently on the table next to her. Her fingers stretched and curled like orchids, curled and unrolled. She looked at Qianye, half-smiling but not smiling, and said, "I don't care about what you did in Yonglu."
I heard that, it seems that many people underestimate your power!"
"I have just established my footing in Yonglu."
"It doesn't matter whether you have just established a foothold or have expanded your territory. Intelligence from all sources shows that you have just entered the Zheng Kingdom. According to common sense, you will not develop so fast. But I always feel that this is not like yours.
Style, perhaps you already have an army of over 100,000 men under your command?"
With Qianye's concentration, the blood core could not help but beat a little faster. This was a very subtle change, but I don't know if Empress Li could feel it. Qianye quickly controlled his emotions and said: "Your Majesty, I love you."
I would rather have an army of 100,000."
Empress Li smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if you don't have it now. Just have it as soon as possible. If you swallow up Zheng Guo, you will probably have 100,000 troops. You may not know it yet, but your recent efforts to expand the land have already entered a new era."
I have lost the discernment of those high officials in the court."
Qianye was a little surprised, "There are so many big things happening in the empire every day, why do they care about such a small thing?"
"This is not a trivial matter. There is a prince from the Zheng State who ran to the empire, claiming to be orthodox, and is asking for help from the empire. No matter what, the Zheng State is nominally our vassal state. Now that it is controlled by outsiders, it is always not good in terms of face.
nice."
Qianye frowned and said: "He is not the only vassal of the empire, and it seems that Zheng Guo has not fulfilled many obligations. In addition, King Zheng's family has been accustomed to fighting among themselves for many years and has no intention of making progress. It is really shameful. This Zheng Guo,
It doesn’t belong to them naturally.”
"What you say does make sense. But you can't say that in the court, otherwise someone will ask, isn't this Qin Lu naturally destined to be permanently controlled by your Majesty?"
These words were very sensitive. Qianye felt a chill in his heart, not knowing what Empress Li was going to say next.
Empress Li added: "Actually, everyone knows that although the world is big, only the virtuous live in it. No one is born to inherit the destiny. If Taizu Wuzu hadn't been the best in martial arts in the world, the surname of this empire would not be Ji."
, it’s hard to say. Even now, if it weren’t for His Majesty
After many years of hard work and hard work, he became a blockbuster. I am afraid that the Immortal King is still making waves now. The imperial family is really unstable. Those old guys blindly hide illnesses and avoid medical treatment. Rather than being loyal to the empire, it is better to use this as an excuse to suppress people.
Different."
Empress Li said this so directly that Qianye was quite hesitant and didn't know how to answer it, so he just nodded in agreement.
Empress Li glanced at him and said angrily: "I'm telling you what's on my mind, but you're just looking down on me. Do you think that now that your wings are hardened, I won't be able to hold you anymore, right?"
Qianye said hurriedly that he didn't dare.
Empress Li's face looked better now. She sipped her tea and said, "I'm not saying this without reason. Some time ago, a few old guys publicly said that you are a vampire after all, and you are opening up territory in Yonglu.
Whose territory are we opening up and whose land are we expanding?”
Qianye's face changed slightly, and he couldn't help but have murderous intent in his eyes. These words were really heart-wrenching. If such remarks create momentum, maybe he will be forced to take a stand against the empire even if he doesn't want to in his heart.
Empress Li didn't speak at this moment, just looked at Qianye quietly.
Qianye took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "I don't understand, what good will it do to them to force me into eternal night?"
"There are so many benefits. What's more, their original intention is not to force you away, but rather to target those who are willing to speak for you."
Qianye took a deep breath and said in a cold voice: "Zhao Clan?"
"Now it's not just Zhao Clan, there's also Zhang Clan."
"Zhang Clan?" Qianye was confused. He didn't remember any friendship with Zhang Clan. The only interaction he had with Zhang Clan was a brief chat with King Qingyang after the Battle of Baicheng.
"When the matter of you was discussed in the court meeting that day, King Qingyang suddenly spoke and said that you had made great contributions in the battle of Fulu Baicheng. Now that the war has subsided, it would be unreasonable to attack the heroes. It would be a shock to the hearts of the people in the world. He said
scolded the courtier who proposed the motion for pretending that the dawn would last forever
In the name of Fen's righteousness, it actually harbors evil intentions, or at least is pedantic. King Qingyang is currently in the limelight. When he let go of such a sentence, no one dared to continue to hold on to it. At least now, you don't have to worry.
We will encounter the Imperial Crusade Army."
Qianye thought for a moment and said, "If that's the case, wouldn't it cause criticism if the empress gave me those supplies at this time?"
Empress Li smiled lightly and said: "I also ordered the fleet to set off after the meeting that day. I never thought of hiding this from anyone, so there should be many people who know about it. As for what others think, that is their business.
.Anyway, even if nothing happens, they will come up with a bunch of conspiracies. It would be good for me to make some conspiracies to keep them busy."
After Qianye heard this, he always felt a little strange and could not help but frown slightly.
Empress Li said it lightly, but in fact King Qingyang and Empress Li seemed to have sided with Qianye one after another. Others would not think that Qianye had such value, and would only understand that there was a conflict between the Li family and Zhang Clan.
They have a tacit understanding. The Li family's upward momentum is extremely strong now, and it is said that a side branch has produced an unparalleled genius. It is almost certain that the family will be promoted in the future.
This is tantamount to an alliance between the Heavenly King clan and the current clan, which is a major event for the entire empire.
Qianye knew that he was not good at political disputes, and he was outside the empire, so he had insufficient grasp of the situation in the Qin Temple. Although he had doubts in his heart, he remained silent and waited for the next chapter.
