"If you kill Xue Ze and He Xu, the ghost will definitely take revenge. We have to be careful."
The empress guessed that the ghost fetus would definitely take revenge.
If the empress suffered such a big loss, she would definitely try her best to save the situation.
Long Chen worriedly said: "I'm still worried about Luo Xi, if the ghosts personally attack Diaoyu City..."
Long Chen mentioned Di Luoxi again. The empress didn't know whether Long Chen was worried about a sneak attack by the ghost fetus, or whether he was hinting to the empress to be reserved and not to lose control.
"You killed someone once in Linhu City. I don't think the ghost would dare to leave without permission."
The empress held the cold water in her hand and secretly cursed Long Chen as a bastard.
In the past, Long Chen deliberately teased him frivolously, but now that he took the initiative, Long Chen retreated step by step.
"After an attack in Linhu City, the defenses will definitely be strengthened. We need to think about how to defeat the enemy."
The empress put down the cold water, placed her left leg on top of her right leg, and pointed her toes towards Long Chen.
As an emperor, such a sitting posture is very rude.
Long Chen knew that the empress did this on purpose.
"Wei Chen is thinking of strategies, and there will always be opportunities."
Long Chen looked at the empress's long legs and felt a little restless.
As a man, facing a stunning beauty like the Empress, it would be a lie to say that he is not attracted to her.
The empress stood up and said, "Let me know when you think about it."
After saying that, the empress left the room.
The empress left, and Long Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
Back then, he and Di Luoxi were not engaged, so it was okay for Long Chen to flirt with the empress. Now that he was engaged, there were some things that he couldn't let go of.
...
To the west of Xianhe City, a carriage came slowly.
Sitting in the car was an old man in his fifties, who was Sun Lu, the minister of Sinong Temple.
Looking at the surrounding mountains, rivers and fields, Sun Lu sighed with emotion: "The land south of the Yangtze River is really different. It has abundant water resources and lush trees. It is very different from the scenery of my country in the Zhou Dynasty."
The driver driving the carriage said: "Master Sun, here there are rivers and lakes intertwined, and the water source is sufficient. However, the land is not flat, not as flat as our land in Dazhou."
"Look at those people. They are so sparse. You can hardly see anyone during the spring plowing season."
Sun Lu shook his head and said: "No, there are few people plowing in spring because of the war. Near Xianhe City is the place where rice is grown in Nanliang. I have eaten the rice here, and the rice porridge cooked is delicious."
"The Holy Father asked me to come here just to cultivate the paddy fields here and not to let them go unused."
It was Long Chen's idea to let Sun Lu come over.
The land around Wushun City and Xianhe City is fertile. If you want the army to have enough food, you must grow food.
"But Mr. Sun, you have also seen that there are no people here at all, how can we farm?"
Along the way, the people in the villages and towns along the way were afraid of fighting and ran away, and there were even fewer people working in the fields.
Without people, there is no way to farm. This is a very real problem.
Sun Lu also knew about this problem and said: "Don't be afraid, King Wu is not here. He has many ideas, just ask him."
The groom smiled and said: "Master Sun, you trust King Wu too much."
"It is said that a clever woman cannot make a meal without rice. Is it possible that King Wu could sow beans and make an army? Conjure people to cultivate the fields?"
This groom has been following Sun Lu for many years, so he doesn't shy away from speaking.
Sun Lu chuckled and said: "Others can't do it, but King Wu can. You will know when the time comes that Xianhe City is coming soon."
When the carriage arrived at the west gate, the soldiers guarding the city stopped Sun Lu for questioning.
The groom was a little unhappy and said, "This is the chariot of Lord Sinong Temple. Why are you so rude?"
The soldier said: "When two armies are fighting, no matter whose carriage it is, it must be checked. This is King Wu's order!"
Sun Lu got out of the carriage and said, "Stop talking, this is a battlefield, as it should be."
After saying that, Sun Lu took out the seal and ribbon document and said: "I am Sun Lu, the Minister of Sinong. I am here on the orders of the Holy One. Please inform me."
The soldier read the seal and ribbon document and immediately bowed: "It turns out to be Mr. Sun. Please forgive me for this unusual time."
"Come here, send Lord Sun into the city!" Bayi Chinese website
There is no problem in seeing the official seal and ribbon, but there are still people watching when entering the city.
Several soldiers escorted the carriage into the city until it reached the commander's residence. When Yingfeng saw the carriage, he was sure it was Sun Lu, and the soldiers retreated.
"Master Yingfeng, long time no see."
Sun Lu smiled and greeted, and Yingfeng returned the greeting: "Master Sun, you have worked hard all the way. Your Majesty is inside, please come with me."
Sun Lu followed Yingfeng into the study, where the empress was reading the report sent by Di Yuwei.
The government affairs of the court were handled by Emperor Yuwei and Emperor Xingwan. Small matters were decided by the two of them, but major matters must be reported to the empress regularly.
"Your Majesty, Master Sun has arrived."
When Yingfeng entered the door, Sun Lu immediately bowed and said, "I am a humble minister, Sun Lu, and I would like to pay my respects to the Holy One."
The empress put down the report, stood up and said with a smile: "Master Sun, please sit down. It is a long way to get here from the capital, and you are always tired."
Sun Lu bowed and said, "I'm ashamed. Compared with fighting on the battlefield, the journey of a humble minister is nothing."
The empress smiled and said: "Sit down."
Sun Lu thanked him and sat down next to him. Yingfeng brought tea.
"How's the journey going?"
The empress saw that Sun Lu was in good spirits and felt relieved.
Sun Lu's abilities were average, and the empress actually didn't want Sun Lu to come over, but Long Chen said that Sun Lu was just the beginning, and there would be others coming over in the future.
Moreover, Sun Lu was just not very capable, but he was quite serious about his work. All he had to do was make a plan and let him implement it.
"Thanks to the Holy Spirit, everything is fine."
Sun Lu smiled and took a sip of tea and praised: "Good tea. The tea here is indeed good."
The empress smiled and said: "The new tea I just picked tastes good."
Sun Lu finished drinking a cup of tea, looked around and didn't see Long Chen, and asked, "Isn't King Wu in the city?"
The empress glanced at Yingfeng, who immediately went to invite Long Chen.
"The reason why I called Lord Sun here this time is because there is not enough military ration. Rice must be grown on the spot. When the summer grain harvest is good, it can be used as military ration."
"It's just that rice cultivation is different from wheat, and it's a bit troublesome, so I need Mr. Sun to come in person."
Sun Lu said: "I already know about this. By conquering Nanliang, I, the Great Zhou Dynasty, can unify the world. This is an unparalleled achievement. I am really honored to be able to contribute."
When receiving the empress' order, Sun Lu's family was opposed to it.
When marching and fighting, no one would take Sinong Qing with him.
But Sun Lu was very happy and immediately packed up and went on the road.
This battle is very important to the Great Zhou Dynasty. If it wins, it can dominate the world.
Sinong Temple is actually a relatively cold yamen, and everyone doesn't think highly of Sun Lu. Sun Lu knows this very well.
The empress summoned him here, which was an opportunity to make meritorious deeds, and of course Sun Lu was happy.
"Lord Sun understands justice well."
For the first time, the empress felt that Sun Lu had a sense of the overall situation.
Outside the door, Long Chen walked in and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Sun. I will make amends to you, Mr. Sun."
Sun Lu immediately stood up and said with a smile: "What did King Wu say? When you get here, you have made great achievements. I would like to thank King Wu for your contribution."
Long Chen sat down and the empress said: "The season waits for no one. King Wu should talk to Master Sun about spring plowing now."
Although Sun Lu had just arrived and had a hard time along the way, the time has come to start farming and he cannot delay it any longer.
Long Chen said: "Then I'll tell you, Mr. Sun, don't hesitate to work hard."
Sun Lu immediately said: "King Wu, please give me your instructions."
