Six months later, the Feixiong Army and the Mengjiang Navy successfully joined forces, and the entire Nanni Kingdom, except for the areas ruled by the Young Master, had become the territory of the Wu Dynasty.
The Young Lord's army had been stationed outside the royal city, confronting Li Wuming. He had sent envoys into the city many times to ask Li Wuming to give up the royal city. But he did not have the courage to attack the city directly and break up with the Wu Dynasty.
Li ignored him without any numerology, and even did not let the envoys enter the city at all the last few times.
The young prince pretended to attack the city, and Li Wuming immediately prepared to fight - which frightened the young prince: Damn the Wu people, they won't just wait for me to attack the city and then use this as an excuse.
Destroy me?
He immediately gave up. In fact, he never had the courage to go to war with the Wu Dynasty.
When the main force of the Flying Bear Army approached the royal city, the Young Lord's army immediately retreated, fearing that they would not be able to escape if it continued further.
Now, the young prince is anxious. He keeps asking to see the second master, asking him to tell the Wu Dynasty that he is loyal and willing to become a vassal state that the Wu Dynasty will never betray.
He just asked the Wu Dynasty to give him a canonization so that he could keep his current territory. However, there has been no response from the Wu Dynasty.
However, he did meet the second master, and finally understood why Lady Chun had been the one to receive him before. The second master used the "Celestial Butterfly Transformation" to lurk around the pseudo-kingdom, replacing one of the puppet king's favorites!
All the secrets of the Nanni Kingdom and the Red Yi Barbarians are almost transparent to Da Wu... It must be said that the pairing of the Second Master and Lady Chun has become more and more tacitly understood after constant running-in. Now.
The two of them give people the impression that this pair was born to engage in intelligence!
Now, if I tell people that Mrs. Chun would be tricked as soon as she accepted a task from the Second Master, no one would believe her and think it was just the "interest" between the husband and wife!
The most embarrassing part for the second master now is precisely the relationship between the two.
Such a long-term revolutionary friendship should have broken through the bottom line long ago. Lady Chun has been wandering in the rivers and lakes for many years, and she has long wanted to settle down. In addition, in the early days of Nanny, the two of them were in a very dangerous situation. Lady Chun wanted to bully the king several times.
Raise the bow - Fortunately, the second master was alert and did not let the female goblin succeed!
Mr. Sun is very depressed. From the perspective of the second master's avatar, he certainly has feelings for Mrs. Chun. But the real body is still a child. Does the avatar have to be...
Moreover, Master Sun always felt that he was deceiving the woman by not telling Mrs. Chun the truth, but he was afraid that Mrs. Chun would not be able to accept it if he told the truth. The intelligence work of Nanni Country was very important, and Master Sun did not dare to abandon public service for personal reasons.
Later, the Meibo was sent there to increase the strength of the second master, but it was also a "little cleverness". With the Meiba in the way, the second master should be able to keep his innocence.
The young master's idea was learned by Lord Sun through the second master, and Lord Sun sneered: "Wishful thinking!"
Master Sun does not blame the Young Kingdom Master for once trying to compete with the Flying Bear Army for the royal city. At one time or another, if Master Sun were in that position, he would have tried. After occupying the Royal City, the Young Kingdom Master would occupy the next situation.
Certain advantages.
But now, the whole situation of Nanni is over. The young prince is still unwilling to accept the reality and still wants to retain all the territory? You must know that the young prince not only occupies the five counties where he raised his troops, but also the people he went all the way to the north to surrender.
A large territory, there are about six counties!
How could Da Wu allocate all these territories to him?
Mr. Sun, Mr. Lu Guangxiao and Mr. Liu Zhi had a special discussion on how to place the young prince. In fact, it was mainly Sun Changming and Mr. Lu Guangxiao. Mr. Liu Zhi was not good at these aspects, but he wanted to get involved.
Mr. Lu's idea is that the first five counties can be reserved for the young prince. After all, they are the young prince's basic plan. As long as he hands over the remaining six counties.
Dawu could canonize him as King Nanni, and he would not be replaced hereditary. But he could not retain the army. All defense would be handed over to the army of Dawu Dynasty, and military expenses would be paid by Nanni.
The young prince can retain a royal guard of 3,000 people.
Liu Zhi feels that this arrangement is already very harsh. If you station troops in other people's countries, they still have to pay for the military expenses?
Mr. Sun was still listening attentively. After waiting for a while and Mr. Lu didn't continue, he said in surprise: "Is it over?"
"It's over." Mr. Lu wondered, what else could there be?
Mr. Sun quickly shook his head: "Sir, you are too lenient. I have to advise you. This is a battle between countries. Our gentleman Wu Qianqian's tricks should not be used here."
Liu Zhi glanced at the boy: Is this condition "too generous"?
Lu Guangxiao saw through Sun Changming's purpose: "You want to annex Nanni directly, I know that. But the young master is our ally of Wu after all, so it is inappropriate to do so.
Although the magnanimity of a great country is just an empty talk, it cannot be completely disregarded..."
Sun Changming said: "Nanni must be merged into our dynasty, otherwise our dynasty will sacrifice tens of thousands of soldiers. Is it to help the Nanni people drive away the red barbarians and let the Nanni people take charge of their own affairs?"
"However, I will not directly annex Nanni." Sun Changming continued: "For now, we will follow the boss's arrangements. In this way, although the young king will not be very satisfied, he can accept it.
Then in two or three years, we will incite two of these five counties to write to the court, requesting to break away from King Nanni and come under the control of our King Wu.
In another two or three years, two more counties will request to surrender to Dawu - the specific progress will be determined at that time. In the end, at most, only one county will be reserved for the young prince. In fact, in my ideal world, only the land of one mansion will be the best.
good.
Then, all the young prince's heirs will die prematurely, and no matter how many concubines the young prince marries, he will not be able to produce any offspring.
In the past, we would have executed all the qualified heirs in the Nanni royal family through the prosecution of the false king, leaving only a few who listened to us. The young king will only be able to choose from these few people to adopt him.
When the young master dies - we can also let him leave this world when we need him to die - the successor will be ours. After another seven or eight years, or a transition of ten years, he can be brought to the table.
Please remove the king title from me, and I, the Great Wu Dynasty, will protect him from wealth and honor throughout his life.
In this way, we can successfully incorporate the entire Nanni Kingdom into our territory without arousing resentment among the people of Nanni."
Lu Guangxiao and Liu Zhi looked at each other and did not shy away from Sun Changming himself. They said to each other: "What a vicious plan!"
"This son can only be a friend, not an enemy."
Sun Changming had a dry cough and rarely turned red.
Now that the imperial court has decided on the policy against the young prince Nanni, Mr. Sun and the second master are not in a hurry to give the young prince any response.
Wait, is this settled by the court? It seems that there is a missing procedure? It’s not important anymore.
However, the imperial court was waiting for the Young Master to do nothing but send envoys over. It also kept transferring the elites of the Flying Bear Army to the outskirts of the Young Master's territory. The Young Master was worried and kept looking for the Second Master.
The old man was very troubled. On this day, Mrs. Chun suddenly received the contact charm. After avoiding the second master and chatting for a few words, her eye circles became red. When she came back, she said to the second master with a cold face: "Follow me home."
.”
Of course the second master didn’t want to go, but at this moment his desire for survival was overwhelming and he agreed without hesitation: “No problem! I’ll accompany you back.”
Mrs. Chun's face looked better now - the second master also took this opportunity to avoid the young master.
At this time, in the Nanni Kingdom, the army of the Great Wu Dynasty had swelled to 1.1 million. Among them, the number of southwest wolf soldiers reached 300,000! These were the "profitable" military leaders of the southwest who saw
", and quietly sent his subordinates over.
In the entire Wu Dynasty, except for the frontier troops in the northwest and northeast, almost all the combatable troops have entered Nanni. The rest of the troops can just bully the people and cultivate the fields and let the horses go, but they really go to the battlefield.
That's the result of breaking up in a hurry.
After this battle, at least 600,000 elite soldiers were trained for the Wu Dynasty!
Almost 40% of the more than one million elites are now milling around outside the Young Lord's territory... The Young Lord simply can't sleep at night, because the channel of communication between him and the Wu Dynasty - the second master has run away again!
…
Lady Chun's home is in a small mountain town in the southwest of the Wu Dynasty. The scenery here is beautiful and has always produced beauties, but the locals are very poor. The girls have worked with the adults since they were young, and they have developed a straightforward character.
In the eyes of people in the county town, the most powerful official is the county prince, and the strongest monk in the entire county town is only a second-level monk.
When they were approaching the county seat, Mrs. Chun suddenly slowed down and grabbed the second master's arm tightly, as if she was a little "timid".
After the second master practiced "Nine Transformations of Desolate Ming", his body can switch freely between the spiritual body and the physical body.
He patted Lady Chun's little hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I'll stay with you."
Mrs. Chun slowed down her steps, slowly let out a breath she had been holding for an unknown amount of time, and said, "I have two homes. This is the home of my biological parents."
The second master listened silently, there were countless such things in the Wu Dynasty.
"When I was seven years old, my parents couldn't feed us anymore, so they sold me. But I don't hate them. My parents used the last handful of corn at home to make me a small bowl of rice the night before.
My mother held me in her arms and cried all night, and said to me: Da Ya, you are the eldest in the family, you have to take care of your younger brothers and sisters, my parents are incompetent, there is really nothing I can do..."
"So I don't blame them. I am the eldest sister in the family. I have to take care of my younger brothers and sisters. They are all younger than me. If I sell me for money, I can take care of them."
The second master sighed quietly, Mrs. Chun's biological parents were quite conscientious.
"I and seven or eight other girls of about the same size were tied up with straw ropes and walked away from here for several days..." Lady Chun suddenly smiled stiffly: "It's funny to say that, I
At that time, I felt that it was quite good to keep up with those people. Although I was very tired and not full, I was able to eat three meals. When I was at home, I couldn't eat one meal a day."
The second master felt distressed for a while.
"But before we were sent to the place, my master suddenly jumped out from behind a mountain!" The stiffness in the smile melted away: "She yelled, punched and kicked us, and saved us easily. Then.
She stepped on the defeated Yaman leader, threw him a sum of money, and said she bought us."
"This money will help the dentists avoid losing money."
"Later I asked Master, why do we still need to give money? Master said that those Ya people also have to live. If there is no evidence that they are abducting people, Master will give some money. It's just that when they are rich, they will give more money, and when they are poor, they will give more money.
Sometimes, I can only think about it - but Master has been in poverty all year round."
"One time my master took me through a ready-to-wear store. He saw a goose-yellow dress. It looked really good after she put it on. We all clapped our hands and liked it. Master walked around the store several times, but in the end he still couldn't.
I was reluctant to buy it. She had a big yard and children like me who needed to be fed - but Master looked down on ill-gotten gains. She often boasted to us that every tael of silver she had was earned cleanly, but
We all know that she can't get even a tael of silver together all the year round."
"Then Master began to teach us how to practice. We were sisters and brothers in a big courtyard. In the end, only four of us were able to practice. I still remember clearly that Master was not happy at the time. After that day, the food for the four of us was obviously better than the others.
Those children are secretly dissatisfied, saying that the master is partial, and some even viciously slander the master. She saved us just to find a successor, and the other children will be abandoned by her sooner or later."
"But Master didn't blame them. He just sighed and said: It may not be a good thing for the four of them to practice, but it is a good thing for the rest of you."
"Many years later, after Master passed away, I realized that those of us who are able to practice need to take care of a large courtyard of sisters and brothers, as well as the new little ones. We were also taught by Master not to accept ill-gotten gains and only take
It’s very hard to support yourself with the money you earn through your own abilities.”
"It may not be a good thing for us. Of the four people who were able to practice at that time, two of the other three could not persist and left ten years ago never to come back.
There was another person who wanted to take a risk and earn a lot of money and took on an errand that was beyond his ability, but he was not as lucky as he thought, alas...
Now I'm the only one left. I'm not as great as Master. I'm also a girl. I like pretty dresses, sparkling jewelry, and bright rouge and gouache... I can only work harder to make more money. But...
I don’t know why, Master found the four of us who were able to practice all his life. As a result, after I took over the big yard, the little guys who were able to practice were like bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest. One of them popped up without paying attention.
Another one pops up...Practice costs money, and I'm so broke!"
Lady Chun pulled her ears down with both hands, like a frustrated rabbit.
"Then I met you!" Mrs. Chun glared at the second master with a fierce look in her eyes: "What kind of jobs did you introduce to me? If it weren't for my stubborn fate, no one would care about the children in this big yard.
!”
The second master wisely chose not to make any excuses. Mrs. Chun snorted twice: "Finally, you damn devil has a conscience and the price you gave me is fair."
As she spoke, she was already standing outside the county town.
"After I followed Master for four years, Master happily brought me back here. Along the way, he told me how difficult it was for her to find my relatives. She also boasted that if she hadn't had a powerful
Even those old guards in the Yamen can’t find any clues using the means of cultivation.”
"She asked me to meet my parents. The moment my mother saw me, she knelt on the ground, hugged me tightly and cried. She refused to let go no matter what she said, but I left in the end. I remember my mother said
If so, I will be the eldest and have to take care of the younger siblings. The family is still so poor, so I will stay here to have an extra mouth. I will go back with the master and give the saved rations to my younger siblings, so I will take care of them."
"And at that time, I not only had younger brothers and sisters at home, but also younger brothers and sisters in the big yard. I also had to go back and take care of them."
"From now on, Master will bring me back every few years to leave a little money for my parents. It's not that Master doesn't want to give more, it's because she is really poor."
"Then the master left. I was not as open-minded as the master, but my ability to make money was better than the master. I still came back every few years, found a good family for my sister, built a house for my brother and got a wife."
"But now, my mother is dead..."
Lady Chun suddenly fell silent, just staring blankly in the direction of the county town.
The second master sighed quietly. Her feelings for her biological mother must be very complicated. She had never experienced it personally and would not advise anyone to let it go. The second master just stayed by her side silently.
After a full stick of incense, Mrs. Chun gently pulled the second master: "Let's go to the city and go home."
The funeral shed has been set up at home, the younger brothers and sisters are wearing sackcloth and mourning, and relatives and friends are helping to organize the funeral. The second master is accompanying Mrs. Chun, and he can feel that there is a sense of alienation between her and her relatives, or that she is alienated from the mortal world.
time, there are already clear boundaries.
He accompanied Mrs. Chun to meet her father, an ordinary little old man. Mrs. Chun comforted her a few times and didn't even let the second father come forward to pay her respects.
At night, Mrs. Chun asked her younger brothers and sisters to rest, and she stayed alone to keep vigil for her mother.
She pulled the second master and whispered: "I want to... see my mother again." The second master understood and nodded gently. But that night, the second master's secret soul-calling technique did not attract Lady Chun's mother from nearby.
's soul.
This is very abnormal. It's not over seven years yet. Normally, the soul should be lingering near the corpse.
Lady Chun's expression changed, and she rushed into her father's room the next morning: "How did my mother die?!"
The whole family looked at a loss. Mrs. Chun was trembling with anger and pointed at her younger siblings: "You have no worries about food and clothing at home. If I ask you to take care of my mother for me, you still can't do it..."
The second master hurriedly took Lady Chun out. The two flew away, leaving everyone in the courtyard stunned.
The second master took Mrs. Chun out of the city and found a small hill. Mrs. Chun calmed down and tried hard to hold back her tears, but her tears fell down like broken beads.
The second master gently held her shoulders, and Lady Chun fell on his shoulders.
"I'll go see our mother in person tonight." The second master's attainments in this area are much higher than those of Lady Chun.
In the evening, the two went back. The relatives and friends at home looked at the two with obvious fear. Neither of them explained. Mrs. Chun entered the mourning hall and kicked out the brothers and sisters. The brothers and sisters were a little dissatisfied.
They wanted to keep vigil for their mother, but the eldest sister's face was as cold as stone, and they didn't dare to make a mistake.
The second master waited until late at night when no one was around, checked the body in person, and then gritted his teeth angrily: "How audacious!"
Mrs. Chun's mother died suddenly. If the yamen's general office came to do an autopsy, they would only find that there was something wrong with the old woman's heart. It was very common for this kind of disease to occur at her age, and it would not arouse anyone's suspicion.
But the second master saw it: "Spell!"
Lady Chun's eyes turned red, but she did not lose her mind: "My mother is just an ordinary old woman, how could anyone use cultivation methods to deal with her? There is only one possibility, this is for me!"
"It's me who has caused trouble to my mother..."
Although Mrs. Chun has taken good care of her family over the years, in order not to involve her family with matters in the spiritual world, she has never revealed the secret that she is a spiritual practitioner. She also did not give her family too much money, just to make the family live a better life.
Just abundance.
Yesterday, when the two flew away in the sky, everyone realized that she was no ordinary person.
The second master shook his head gently: "The matter has not been found out yet, so don't take the blame for yourself first." He was secretly vigilant, but the surroundings were quiet and there was no ambush.
The second master did not say this just to comfort Lady Chun. If he really used a spell to kill his mother in order to deal with Lady Chun, then last night should be the best opportunity to do something to Lady Chun. But last night passed peacefully.
Moreover, killing people with curses will not destroy the soul. Where did Mrs. Chun’s soul go?
Another dawn came, and the second master had quietly started an investigation. He had various soul secret techniques, and he did not "interrogate" Lady Chun's younger brothers and sisters, but started with the surrounding neighbors.
Even the neighbors didn't know that they had been "interrogated by the soul".
A suspect soon emerged. Instead of alerting the enemy, the second master returned to Mrs. Chun's home, summoned her father and younger siblings, and solemnly asked: "What's going on between you and the Ma family?"
Mrs. Chun's eldest brother has always been dissatisfied with this man who came back with his eldest sister. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who are you? Do you need to take care of our family's affairs?"
Before the second master could get angry, Mrs. Chun had already shouted with a cold face: "Sit tight! You can answer whatever I ask!" The eldest brother glared at the second master angrily, lowered his head but did not answer.
Mrs. Chun's father seemed to have lost his soul because of the loss of his wife. Mrs. Chun's eyes fell on her younger sister: "Siya, tell me."
The younger sister's voice was hoarse from crying: "The Ma family's house is back to back with ours. Their family has made a fortune in business over the years. They wanted to expand the house, so they came over to discuss buying our house at a large price.
We should learn from other wealthy families to build a back garden.”
"We all listen to our parents on this matter, but my mother has always refused to agree. She said, she said..." The younger sister choked up again: "It's not that our family can't survive, but this house can't be sold at any cost. If we sell it, we can't."
We have moved the house, sister, you will not be able to find us when you come back..."
The family did not know what Mrs. Chun was doing for a living outside the home, nor where she lived, so there was no way to contact Mrs. Chun. The mother was worried that the family had moved away and the eldest daughter would not be able to find her home when she returned.
Lady Chun lowered her head, her shoulders trembling slightly.
The second master said calmly: "Okay, you go and have a rest."
It is already certain that the focus of the conflict between the Ma family and Mrs. Chun's family is Mrs. Chun's mother. But just because of this matter, killing someone is necessary? Moreover, the Ma family has only exploded in the past few years. They can ask for a spell.
A murderous monk?
The younger sister was the last to go out and asked the eldest sister in a low voice: "Did someone kill our mother?"
Lady Chun said solemnly: "You don't have to worry about these things! As long as I'm here, I will definitely give my mother justice!"
Chapter completed!
