Heiwu, Xingcheng.

The subordinates ran in to report that the expeditionary force had successively captured three city-states on the other side of Longshan and plundered a large amount of gold and silver supplies. This news made Yuan Fuji feel much more comfortable.

After sending an expeditionary force to cross Longshan, Yuanfu Machinery launched millions of workers to build roads in Longshan. This was a huge project. Although it had been nearly a year since the beginning, the progress was very slow.

Longshan is too difficult and dangerous. Although there have been detailed detections before the mountain was opened and the route has been determined, the deaths of many workers during the road construction process caused the project to fall into a deadlock.

The most difficult thing is to build a bridge over a mountain stream. A wooden bridge that allows heavy vehicles to pass through must cross the mountain stream. How troublesome and dangerous is it to build? However, for the development of the Black Martial Empire, this road has to be built.

The Black Martial Empire has been invading south for thousands of years. I hope to bully Daning as before?

In order to restore the Black Martial Empire as soon as possible, it could only develop to the other side of Longshan, which was originally impossible to pass.

There is no powerful empire on the other side of Longshan, all of which are scattered city-states. In the past, the exhausted army of thousands of people could sweep away their opponents, which gave Yuanfuji new hope.

"Okay, okay."

Yuan Fuji stood up, his face full of joy.

But the only disadvantage now is that the city-state has won three, but the road has not been repaired yet, and a large amount of gold and silver materials cannot be transported back.

Not long after the good news arrived, someone came in and handed a military report to Yuanfu Machine.

"King, the southern Xinjiang sends military newspapers."

Yuan Fuji took the military newspaper and looked at it, his face suddenly became a little ugly.

"Ningren is really too ostentatious."

Yuan Fuji put the military newspaper aside and said while walking, "The military newspaper sent by the southern border to say that the Ningguo Navy had already attacked the Sang inland. If nothing unexpected happens, the Sang people could not stop Ning people's soldiers at all."

A courtier leaned over and said, "Your Majesty, if Ningren destroys the Kingdom of Sang again, our last ally with some strength will be lost. If the Sangren restrain Ningren from one side, maybe..."

He looked at Yuan Fuji carefully: "Maybe the next step for Ningren is the second northern expedition. They have no worries. Taking advantage of the prosperity of national strength and high morale, they will most likely attack within half a year."

"We have some time left."

Yuan Fuji said while walking, "If the Ning people want to attack, they need to prepare for at least two years. The last time they made preparations for the northern expedition for at least five years, and a large amount of goods were continuously sent to the northern border of Ningguo. Their army did not have to worry about food and grass supply at all."

"The Ning people have always fought like this. They will prepare everything before they start the war. Even if they have destroyed Sang Kingdom now, they will not be able to transport the large amount of materials and equipment needed for the Northern Expedition in less than two years."

He didn't want to say something because it would damage his mood, although it was a difficult problem for Ningren.

This time, Ningren went north to expedition, and the grain supply line was much longer than the upper side, because the northern border of Ningren was no longer the line of Hanhai City, but Luojia Lake.

There are three thousand miles from Hanhai City to Luojia Lake, and these three thousand miles of grain roads are not that easy to walk...

wrong.

Yuan Fuji suddenly woke up. About a year ago, Nanjiang sent a military newspaper to say that he found that the people of Ning were building roads and had already built Luojia Lake...

.In other words, the Ning people started to build roads after the last northern expedition, and at least built a road from Hanhai City to Luojia Lake.

With this straight road, Ning Jun's time to transport supplies will be reduced by at least twice.

Yuan Fuji then woke up. The black warriors always thought that Emperor Ning Li Chengtang's expansion of the first northern expedition temporarily stopped, but the black warriors were wrong, so they suffered one after another.

Li Chengtang never stopped, but sometimes he could see his big strode forward, and sometimes he could not see his big strode forward, because these steps were very secretive.

When he seemed to stop and not move forward, Li Chengtang actually took a step forward in another direction. This official road was one of the big steps. When the black warriors felt that they could have a while of rest, Li Chengtang conquered the Sang Kingdom.

The more I think about it, the more I become scared.

Will you really be the opponent of such a person?

He had thought about this question before, but the answer he came to at that time was that under the same conditions, he might not be worse than Li Chengtang.

But now Yuan Fuji has just realized that he is still a lot behind.

"Send the order."

Yuan Fuji shouted: "From the day to recruit soldiers from all over the country, anyone over the age of sixteen must join the army. Violators shall be dealt with according to treason. All recruits collected will be sent directly to the southern border, and they will be trained and set up defenses."

After he gave the order, he added: "It's like this every year."

Yuan Fuji walked to the window and looked at the south. There was a talented and wise monarch who could not see the place he could see, but the two people had different eyes. His eyes saw the future Ning Jun like swords and guns, while Ning Emperor Li Chengtang's eyes saw the fertile fields of Heiwu thousands of miles.

Chang'an.

After watching for a full month, the people from Tingwei's Mansion retreated from Xue Zhao and Xue Zhen. The two of them did not do anything unusual. During this month, the two of them only returned to the secret meeting of the small courtyard they rented. The entire process of the secret meeting was under the surveillance of Tingwei.

At this time, Fang Shiyi had not returned from Shicheng yet, and the withdrawn people continued to investigate other cases.

On the Shicheng side, Fang Shiyi's investigation did not find any new discoveries. The identities of hundreds of officials in Gyeonggi Province were checked, and there were only a dozen people who could suspect it.

Fang Shiyi didn't know that his direction was wrong, not only his direction was wrong, but even the investigation direction of the Tingwei Office branch of Gyeonggi Province was wrong.

They checked the identities of these people, which were all on Xuecheng's line, and then expanded to the original Jiaziying line, but there were very few people who had direct intersections with Xuecheng.

They were not directly attracted and threatened by Xue Cheng, but by Queen Yang.

Queen Yang has been dead for many years, who would still find out about her? This person has been forgotten long ago, and even history may forget her.

After no major discovery, Fang Shiyi transferred the case back to the branch office of the Tingwei Mansion of Gyeonggi Province, and he was preparing to return to Chang'an.

Shicheng, Daocheng Mansion.

Xue Huayi sat at the desk and read quietly. He was a person who liked reading very much. His only pastime was reading. He had no bad habits, could not drink alcohol, gamble, and never went to brothels.

His capable subordinate Geng Yuan came in from outside, and now his identity is the newly recruited housekeeper of the Daocheng Mansion.

"Sir, if you don't expect it, Chang'an City sent news that Xue Zhao and Xue Zhen had always been around the Tingwei Mansion staring secretly. They were following the adult for so long.

, learned a lot of skills, the people from the Tingwei Mansion underestimated them, and were discovered by their carelessness."

Geng Yuan said: "In addition, a Qianban from the Tingwei Mansion came from Chang'an City. It was very secretive and there was no open action. However, as soon as we entered the stone city, we were seen by our people, and I kept watching me."

Xue Huayi nodded: "It's all expected. They will keep staring at me, and it will take at least two years to relieve people. In two years, even the Tingwei Mansion will be boring."

He looked at Geng Yuan and ordered: "The Ministry of War will have a document coming soon. The list of soldiers who died in the Eastern Expedition will be delivered to me. I will personally send all the soldiers who fell into battle, all the people from Gyeonggi Province."

Geng Yuan leaned over and said, "As for orders."

Xue Huayi said: "In addition, when I came from Hujiandao, the Ministry of Revenue had some of the travel expenses and other money allocated by the Ministry of Revenue, plus my salary, I added all of them to the homes of the fallen soldiers."

Geng Yuan asked: "But sir, when you first arrive in Shicheng, you can't keep any remaining money in your hand."

"What's the use of asking for money?"

Xue Huayi said: "The fallen soldiers have more families, so their future lives will be easier. I can eat, wear and spend money in the yamen, and I can't use it for money."

"yes."

Geng Yuan responded and asked, "Do you have any other explanation?"

"there is none left."

Xue Huayi's eyes left the book and looked at Geng Yuan: "You can make some preparations yourself. No one can say good about the future. I can't involve you all."

"Sir, our lives and deaths have long been tied to you."

Geng Yuan said: "Sir, don't say these things about you in the future. We are adults in life and adults' ghosts in death. Apart from us, who can understand adults' ambitions and who can understand adults' sacrifices."

Xue Huayi was a little moved. He stood up and walked to Geng Yuan and said, "I want to entrust this body to Daning. There is no need for you to follow me to spend your life. If I succeed, I will be a famous minister for all ages. If I fail, I will be a sinner for all ages... You still have a chance to escape, consider yourself more."

"Sir, don't say anything about letting us go in the future. I won't go anywhere."

Geng Yuan said: "If you want to become a famous minister for all ages and become a pillar of Daning, we will be your helper behind you. Whether it is right or wrong, success or failure, we will accompany you."

Xue Huayi smiled and said, "I am a fool, and you are all fools."

He thought for a while and said, "Since you don't want to leave me, then take the time to help me do something, one that I should have done long ago, but because the time is not right, I have been dragging it down."

"Sir, tell me."

"Li Changze is not the choice of a wise ruler. I have actually found someone. You can find some people in the martial arts world and find a chronic poison that is not easy to be noticed. After I help Li Changze to the throne, he must die in three to five years, otherwise Daning will be destroyed in his hands."

Geng Yuan was shocked!

The adult's mind was really a bit scary. He always thought that the adult just wanted to assist Li Changze as the throne and then the adult presided over the cabinet, but now the adult wants to kill Li Changze.

"He is a foolish person. I took his hand into the cabinet, but I couldn't destroy the country of Daning. He is not worthy of my assistance. I hold a secret in my hand, and this secret is my last goal."
