To fight against the outside world, one must first settle down the inside. According to Li Yi's plan to cultivate the queen, after they completely take over the five states, they should not rush to expand for the time being. They must first carry out construction honestly and build the six northwest states into a
With a piece of iron barrel, even if it faces the imperial army, it will have the confidence to compete with it.
Unfortunately, things backfired. Chen Qing and Fan Qiao led their troops out to take over their new territory early this morning.
A few days ago, some big forces in the surrounding area sent people over, and Wei Liang kindly took them to visit a military exercise to open their eyes.
Who would have expected that after opening their eyes, the overlords of the three states would come to surrender in person the next day, expressing their willingness to follow the princess to conquer the world. They had been dormant and forbearing for many years, just to wait for such an opportunity...
Perhaps they rebelled against the imperial court in the first place just to wait for such a wise leader.
Or perhaps it was because on the day of the military exercise, Wei Liang and the others were not stingy with artillery shells at all. Dozens of red cannons fired a salvo, razing a section of the old city wall in Cangzhou to the ground.
Overnight, the forces they could control in the northwest expanded to three more states.
As a result, almost the entire northwest of Wu Kingdom has fallen into their hands.
Coupled with the various crushing firearms that have penetrated into the Holy Cult members in all states, it is equivalent to having two kings and four twos in a game of Landlords. If they lose such a good card,
That's really God's will...
"See Your Highness!"
"I have met Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
…
Yang Liuqing's popularity in Cangzhou has reached an incredible level. There are many people in Cangzhou who have set up longevity tablets for her. Along the way, after seeing her, many people knelt down and kowtowed to the ground...
The one who wins the hearts of the people wins the world. If she wants to be the emperor, the people of Cangzhou will definitely have no objection at all.
Up to now, many people still come to the Princess Mansion to deliver things every day.
Sometimes it was a handful of green vegetables, sometimes it was a few eggs. When they walked back, there were still a few people in front of the princess's mansion, looking inside, just wanting to see the beauty of Her Royal Highness.
Seeing this scene, Li Yi felt relieved. Liu Meng would continue to grow and develop in Wu Kingdom and temporarily move its headquarters to Wu Kingdom. Goulan would be gradually built in the place they recovered to cooperate with her in completing the task of unifying her thoughts.
In terms of work and business, dedicated personnel will also be responsible for driving the development of these areas. Only when people's lives are prosperous will they remember her goodness more and more.
Now that she has completely established a foothold here, it is time for Li Yi, Ruyi and the others to leave.
In front of the princess mansion.
A guard looked at the woman holding the child in front of him and said: "Sister-in-law, it's not that we don't accept it, it's that we have discipline. We don't take a stitch from the people, not even an egg..."
"If it hadn't been for you, we and I would have died in the army a long time ago. The little woman has nothing to repay the princess, so I leave this basket of eggs for peace of mind." The woman said, silently
He put down the basket, hugged the child, turned and left.
The two guards sighed. The people in Cangzhou really liked the princess. They had to experience things like this dozens of times every day.
Another old woman with white hair came forward without holding anything in her hand. She must have come to try her luck and want to see the princess.
A guard walked over and said: "Old man, please go back. His Highness has just returned to the mansion and will not leave the mansion today..."
The old woman raised her eyes and asked, "Is Princess Duanrong inside?"
The guard looked at her and thought the old man had bad ears. He raised his voice and shouted loudly: "Old man, the princess has just returned home. Please come back tomorrow!"
The old woman glanced at him and said coldly: "Don't speak so loudly, no one will think you are mute!"
After saying that, he turned around and left.
The guard looked at her and felt that this old woman was different from other old women. She came here to see the princess and didn't even take an egg...
Inside the princess's mansion.
Although He Ruyi and the others are leaving, there are some important things they need to remind Yang Liuqing before leaving.
This is an independent courtyard. Li Yi sat with her at the stone table in the courtyard, picked up the teacup, moistened his lips, and said: "Being supported by the people at the bottom is your advantage, but only the people support you."
, is not enough. They can help you get to that position, but they cannot help you govern the country. In addition, you have to win the support of scholars..."
Before Li Yi finished speaking, he looked up at an old woman who walked into the yard and stood up.
The Princess Mansion is heavily guarded, and there are many guards at the entrance of this small courtyard. Even Wei Liang and Chen Qing need to be notified before they can enter.
It is a strange thing to have a strange old woman appear here.
In particular, she just stood there so casually, giving people an extremely dangerous feeling.
The old woman walked into the yard, looked at Li Yi, and asked calmly: "Where is Princess Duanrong?"
Yang Liuqing turned her back to the door, and was about to stand up after hearing this. Li Yi walked up to her, put his right hand on her shoulder, pressed down, and asked the old woman, "What are you doing with Her Highness the Princess?"
"Someone asked me to take her life." The old woman said lightly, her figure swayed, her speed increased sharply, and she slapped Yang Liuqing with a palm.
Even before she spoke, Li Yi had already grabbed Yang Liuqing's shoulders, pushed her to the side with a gentle push, raised his hands, and met the old woman's palms.
He stepped back and took a few steps, a look of shock appeared on his face, and his chest felt uncomfortable - this old woman was actually stronger than Yiyi!
At this time, the old woman had already bent her hands into claws and grabbed at his neck.
Two years ago, Li Yi was able to enter the top 20 on the Heavenly Ranking. In two years, because of the Turtle Breath Skill, his strength was improving every day, and every time he fought against Bai Su, who was already in the top five on the Heavenly Ranking.
, the victory or defeat is between 50 and 50, but still can't beat this old woman's move!
Even if she is not a Grandmaster, she is extremely close.
Facing her claw, Li Yi stood calmly and stood there.
The old woman's body also stopped. One of her hands had been placed on the neck of the young man opposite her, but she could no longer move forward. She could not exert any strength. The transformation of her internal energy was extremely obscure and difficult.
Beside her, the young woman put her slender white hands on her neck, looked at her calmly, and softly uttered two words.
"Let go."
The old woman released her hands from the young man's neck, and the young woman also released her neck.
Her two big acupoints had been sealed just now, and her peak martial arts skills could only be used at this time, less than 10%.
This level of success was not even as good as the young man opposite, let alone the young master who sealed her acupuncture points.
The old woman was tied up by Bai Su who came over. Li Yi looked at Ruyi with doubts in his eyes: "Grandmaster?"
Ruyi nodded.
The previously aloof grandmaster seemed to have become less powerful. Li Yi suddenly gained confidence. Perhaps he could also touch this level in this life...
Seemingly sensing his thoughts, Ruyi shook her head and said, "She was injured, and it was not serious. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to subdue her so easily."
Li Yi was also a little hurt. He looked at the old woman and thought that he couldn't believe what Mr. Xu said. There was no other grandmaster in the Wu Kingdom. This old woman was the one. If Ruyi hadn't been here today, he and the future queen would have been in danger.
…
It was said that Mr. Xu had arrived, but others were still outside, and the voice had already come in from outside the door.
"I heard that you captured a grandmaster. Let me take a look..."
He was holding a chicken drumstick in his hand, took a bite, held the drumstick in his mouth, and walked over quickly.
Halfway through, his body suddenly stopped, his eyes widened, his mouth opened, and the chicken leg he bitten fell to the ground.
Then, his figure gradually faded in front of Li Yi's eyes, and finally disappeared, leaving only the chicken leg with a missing bite on the ground.
Li Yi stared at this scene with wide eyes until the afterimage disappeared.
