The crossed scholar

"This matter is very important to me!" Princess Nineteen seemed relieved, and her expression became more relaxed.His eyes became closer and more gratified.

"Well! Princess, don't worry, it's not a big deal. As long as I, Zhu Xiaobao, are here, there will be nothing difficult! At worst, I can take you to other places on the 'Auspicious Three Treasures'. Let's start anew!" Zhu Xiaobao Somewhat moved, the nineteenth princess regarded herself as the most dependent person.

"Always talking nonsense!" Princess Nineteen looked at Zhu Xiaobao resentfully, and then asked, "What do you think Seventh Sister means now? Will Zhao Meng target me? Then directly control Xiyuan City?"

"Don't ask me about this, you know I don't care about these things, it's too nerve-wracking! All I know is that if Zhao Meng dares to do something, I'll flatten his camp!" Zhu Xiaobao quickly shook his head He shook his head and said.

"Okay, I'll take care of these matters!...Then I'll go first!" The Nineteenth Princess seemed to want a promise from Zhu Xiaobao, and she planned to leave now.Before leaving, he suddenly turned around and said: "You should pay more attention to these matters. Since you want to help me, there are some things that need to be understood! Oh, by the way, you can go on with your work! Wu Yue , you don’t have to go back to the City Lord’s Mansion tonight, it might be very busy in the future!”

"Yes!" Wu Yue blushed immediately, and then said with a bow.

"What does she mean? What do you mean keep busy with me?" Zhu Xiaobao looked at Wu Yue, and then asked maliciously.

"Hmph! Just let me keep you busy! Why don't you go quickly?"

"Huh? But...is there another one in the house?"

"Let her serve by the side!"

"That's okay too?"

……

Within a few days, the news of the old emperor's critical illness spread, and this kind of news spread very quickly.Those with strength are eager to try, while those with poor strength are a little worried.King Wen couldn't sit still at first, and hurriedly came to King Ming to discuss countermeasures.

"Third brother, I think this is an opportunity. As long as the old man dies, we will take down Xiyuan City. Then there will be no worries!" Ming Wang said with some expectation.

"Ah? How is this possible?"

Chapter 211 King Wen's Invitation

King Wen was a little hesitant.The alliance with King Ming can only be said to be a last resort, but in fact he is still not at ease.On the contrary, he has a better impression of Princess Nineteen and Princess Seven.Now that King Ming proposes to take down Xiyuan City, King Wen is still a little hesitant.

"I'm afraid this is inappropriate. Xiyuan City now has Zhao Meng's 10 troops, as well as Xia Zixiu's and Nineteen Princess's troops. The total may be [-] people. Didn't you say that in this situation, whoever will go first?" Can't help but who will be eliminated first?" King Wen looked at King Ming and asked worriedly.To be honest, the news of the old emperor's serious illness hit him the hardest. Among all the princes, King Wen didn't want to fight the most, but his fief was in the middle, and there were threats from all directions.This made King Wen very worried.

King Wen once asked the Seventh Princess for help, hoping to join forces with the Seventh Princess, but the fiefs of the two were not together, so the Seventh Princess could not help him.But they all left him a way out, in case he couldn't keep his fief, he could move to the Seventh Princess, at least he could spend the rest of his life without worrying about food and clothing.

Now that King Ming proposed to take Xiyuan City, it would be tantamount to cutting off King Wen's retreat. Taking Xiyuan City would be a complete confrontation with Seventh Princess.So King Wen was very reluctant to make this determination.Besides, he got along well with Princess Nineteen.

"Hehe! Of course we don't want to start fighting now. We can invite Nineteenth Sister to discuss it. If Nineteenth Sister is willing to join forces with us, wouldn't it be better! When the time comes to drive Seventh Sister's men out of Xiyuan City It's justified!" Ming Wang said with a smile as he had already planned.Murong Feng behind him also nodded in praise.

"Huh? This king is dull, please ask Ming Wang to express it!" King Wen looked at King Ming, then at Murong Feng in a bit of perplexity, and then asked in a deep voice.

"Isn't your Madam's birthday in a few days, so I just invited Nineteenth Sister, so we can have a talk with her!" Ming Wang looked at Wen Wang and said with a deep smile.Thinking of Princess Wen, King Ming still couldn't help but salivate, but these days he has been hiding it very well.After all, teaming up with King Wen is the most important thing now.

"Huh? What's there to talk about? The nineteenth sister has long indicated that she belongs to the Seventh Princess. Isn't it unnecessary for you?" King Wen said a little discouraged. He thought he could come up with some good ideas, but it turned out that was the case A very common idea!And every time Princess Wen was mentioned, King Ming's bright eyes always made King Wen very uncomfortable, but King Ming has been very disciplined recently, he didn't do anything excessive, and he was very considerate in etiquette.

"Hehe! You don't understand this. Although we know that we can't talk about it, it doesn't look like that to outsiders. First of all, Seventh Sister will have doubts and suspicions, but we have nothing to lose. Let's just wait and see. Just change..." Ming Wang said with a sinister smile.

"Then I still have to come forward?" King Wen was still hesitant. This matter was tantamount to his playing tricks, and the whole thing revolved around him. To put it bluntly, he offended both Princess Seven and Princess Nineteen at once. !

"Of course, it's your wife's birthday. Why don't I come forward? But I can cooperate with you..." Ming Wang said as a matter of course.

"Okay, let me think again!" King Wen said hesitantly.

"There's nothing to think about. You didn't see that Seventh Sister is ready to attack. A few days ago, she added a thousand crossbows to Zhao Meng's army. If we didn't prepare early, Xiyuan City would really be It's Seventh Sister's fault. When the time comes, we'll be attacked, you should know what the consequences will be?" Ming Wang snorted coldly, he really looked down on Wen Wang's indecision.

"Okay! I understand!" King Wen finally made up his mind.

The nineteenth princess suddenly received an invitation from King Wen, which was an invitation to the wife of the princess to celebrate her 35th birthday.If this was half a month ago, it would definitely be fine.But at such a delicate time, when she suddenly received this invitation, Princess Nineteen had to think more about it!

But the people who came to the subordinates were very good at talking, and they also specially told the nineteenth princess that King Ming would not participate in this celebration.This made the nineteenth princess feel more at ease. It seems that her third brother still enjoys life very much. Even at this time, he did not forget to celebrate the princess.

The nineteenth princess is a little envious of the concubine. Although King Wen's ability is average, he has always loved the concubine very much!However, I have to admit that Mrs. Wangfei is indeed the number one beauty in the Great Xia Kingdom. Even though she is over thirty years old, she still has a unique charm. Even the nineteenth princess can't compare to her graceful and luxurious temperament!

"Princess, is there any trick here? It seems a bit inappropriate to hold this celebration at this time?" Wu Yue asked very vigilantly this time.Even she felt a little sudden.

"Probably not? And the second brother is not going either! There is no need for the third brother to lie to me, right? I'm afraid Princess Wen wants to accept more gifts from us! Hehe, some gifts can't be bought with money!" Princess Nineteen After thinking for a while, she said with a smile, Princess Wen knows how to enjoy herself, she especially likes those high-end products of the Nineteenth Princess, and she is also very close to the Nineteenth Princess!

Princess Nineteen's presents are becoming more and more colorful and exciting, and even Beggar Chicken has been included in her gift list, which makes the old apprentice very proud. This is the most successful dish since he learned cooking skills.

……

In Dongtian Paradise, Tong Wuxin and others have disassembled those naval guns, re-applied butter, and hid them in a cellar in the typhoon shelter. The propellers at the bottom of the warship were also fixed. Without Mu Chunyi's unlocking method, who Can't shake those drive sticks either.At the same time, there are more than 100 people stationed in the typhoon shelter. After all, the ship "Auspicious Three Treasures" is too important!

Zhu Xiaobao suddenly received the task of ten beggar chickens, but the old apprentice was too busy, and he was commanding Ying Xiuxiu and others to help him with excitement.Even after Zhu Xiaobao watched it for a while, he had to admit that the old apprentice had mastered the skill of making beggar chicken, and he couldn't find any flaws. Later, he was sent back respectfully by the old apprentice because he was not needed. 's pointing out!

"Hmph! I have a lot of dishes, enough for you to learn for a lifetime!" Zhu Xiaobao thought angrily, and suddenly changed from a leading role to a supporting role, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

Back at the workshop, Mu Chunyi was still concentrating on processing two pieces of glass. She didn't understand why Zhu Xiaobao had to make these two pieces of glass into concave lenses, and the requirements for the radian were very strict. Reworked six times.

Mu Chunyi has now learned a lot of new knowledge from Zhu Xiaobao, which has never been heard before. Zhu Xiaobao talked about Newton's law from an apple, from the composition of water molecules to chemical equations. I feel that my brain is not enough!In fact, what she is learning now is the most basic mathematics, physics and chemistry.Zhu Xiaobao's slogan is very loud: learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, and you will not be afraid to travel all over the world!

So Mu Chunyi had no choice but to study mathematics, physics and chemistry seriously, and of course she had to complete many experiments.But Mu Junyi is very happy, this kind of happiness of learning new knowledge is not something ordinary people can understand!

"Well! It's almost done this time, be careful, this is a precision instrument..." Zhu Xiaobao picked up the two concave lenses that were just processed, measured them carefully, and then nodded and said: "Come on! Apprentice, Here's a good thing for you to see the world around you with two lenses!"

"Huh? Why did everything become clear all of a sudden, and I can see things far away clearly? Why is that? Can you give me these two lenses?" Mu Junyi held the two lenses with both hands After looking at it for a while, she couldn't help shouting excitedly, she has always been troubled by myopia, and she always squints her eyes when looking at things, and the surrounding things have their own halo, which is very hazy and can't see clearly, Unexpectedly, these two lenses made her regain the feeling of the past.

"Hey! It was made for you! Don't say that the master doesn't take care of you! By the way, it's not enough just to have lenses. You have to make a frame yourself. I'll draw a picture for you, preferably It is made of light and strong materials..." Zhu Xiaobao quickly drew a sketch of the frame on the paper, and then explained the connecting parts. Mu Chunyi did not have any difficulty in making this kind of processing.

It took Mu Junyi two days to choose strong and resilient wood, and worked meticulously to create a very light and stylish frame, and the lenses are fixed very firmly.The interpupillary distance measured by Zhu Xiaobao.This pair of glasses is very comfortable to wear, and Mu Junyi is really happy!

Zhu Xiaobao was also a little dumbfounded. Putting on glasses, Mu Chunyi actually showed a very delicate and gentle feeling. The original small eyes just happened to be ignored, and he became energetic, and he no longer had to squint Stretching out his head to look at things, the whole person suddenly becomes intellectually beautiful!

"Huh? I didn't expect you to look pretty with glasses on? Well, it would be great if your breasts were bigger!" Zhu Xiaobao looked at Mu Chunyi very carefully, as if he hadn't discovered that this is also a very nice girl. O beauty!

"Thank you, Master!" Mu Chunyi bowed and saluted sincerely, and said gratefully.

"Hey! It's a trivial matter. If you still have any physical defects, I will cure you! For example, I can also design a thicker bra, which can make your bust soar in an instant!" Zhu Xiaobao was very excited. Proudly boasted.

"Ah? Master, what is a bra?" Mu Chunyi asked in a daze. This master's knowledge is too rich, and she doesn't understand many things.

"Oh! Forget it, forget it, you won't need it anyway!" Zhu Xiaobao was stunned for a moment, and then said in embarrassment.He was just looking at Mu Chunyi with admiration, and there was nothing wrong with it, because recently there were three more women around him, and he was a little overwhelmed.And the interest is not as strong as it used to be!

Chapter 212 Changes

The nineteenth princess came back from King Wen, but she was very angry.Because King Ming and Princess Ming also went.This surprised Princess Nineteen. King Wen personally said that King Ming would not participate. Unexpectedly, both King Ming and Concubine Ming came, and they were well-prepared, because the gifts they gave were very heavy and meticulous. Prepared, not improvised!

This shows that King Wen lied to himself, and the secret conversation between the three people made the nineteenth princess understand the sinister intentions in the middle!Although there was no substantive result, Princess Nineteen simply rejected King Ming's three-party joint proposal.But there were only three of them present.So I don't know what was discussed.With Seventh Princess' suspicious character, wouldn't that put herself in a very disadvantageous situation?

So when leaving, Princess Nineteen took a deep look at King Wen, and King Wen's eyes were a little evasive, of course he knew that Princess Nineteen felt that she was being calculated!But King Wen has no other choice, the matter has reached this point, he can only pretend to be deaf and dumb!Concubine Wen, on the other hand, didn't know anything, she was still very close to Princess Nineteen, this time the gift brought by Princess Nineteen surprised her again...

Back in Xiyuan City, the Nineteenth Princess immediately called for Director Wu. She was a little annoyed at her sloppiness, but she didn't expect to be tricked by King Wen!

"Princess! In fact, it's not entirely a bad thing. Let's see how the Seventh Princess will react!" Although Director Wu was a little surprised that King Wen would do this, he still held his breath.

"How do you say that?" Princess Nineteen was still annoyed, so she didn't think about it any more.

"Actually, the Seventh Princess was using us from the beginning, and of course she did provide us with some protection, but the ultimate goal is to control Xiyuan City! Now that this has happened, let's see what the Seventh Princess will do Response? Now this matter is totally groundless!" Director Wu said in a deep voice.

"Hmm! This is their plan to alienate, I don't believe that Seventh Sister will not see it!" The Nineteenth Princess also regained her composure and said.

"Yes! Moreover, princess, how do you plan to cooperate with the seventh princess in the end? Do you completely depend on her or join forces? This is actually a decision you have to make all along!" Director Wu looked deeply at the nineteenth princess. Princess, although the development of the nineteenth princess has been very smooth in the past half a year, the future development direction still needs to be determined. If she is completely attached to the seventh princess, she can only be a happy princess. Don't worry, you can still live in luxury.But is this really what Princess Nineteen wants?

"I see, this incident just allows me to see Seventh Sister's attitude, and see if she wants to treat me as an ally or a puppet?" Princess Nineteen immediately understood what Boss Wu meant.But from the bottom of her heart, she was almost sure that the Seventh Princess regarded her as a puppet.But the current Nineteenth Princess already has greater ambitions. She has Zhu Xiaobao and those magical weapons, so she may not be unable to win a place.

"That's right! We have a clear conscience, are we still afraid that the Seventh Princess will target us?" Wu Yue snorted disdainfully, she is not afraid of these rumors!

……

But the Seventh Princess' reaction was much more intense than the Nineteenth Princess had imagined. Only three days later, forty warships arrived at Xiyuan City. Although they couldn't get in, the huge momentum still alarmed everyone. people.

Ten thousand soldiers came down from the warship, as well as horses, weapons, and various equipment.It turned out that General Zhao Meng who was stationed in Xiyuan City was transferred away, and his men and horses also followed the merchant ship back to Southeast County.

The new general is also at the same level as Zhao Meng, but younger than Zhao Meng. His name is Feng Xiaoyong. Although he is not as senior as Zhao Meng, he is one of the Seventh Princess's extremely belligerent subordinates.This time when I came to Xiyuan City, I was also very arrogant. I saw that the nineteenth princess proposed to expand the defense area and add more defense areas.To put it bluntly, he wanted to meddle in the military affairs of Xiyuan City.

The 1 people that General Zhao Meng took away were his direct descendants. Feng Xiaoyong didn't dare to use these people when he stayed in Xiyuan City. Zhao Meng's direct lineage, so there is no conflict.But Zhao Meng's ordnance remained, this is the order of the Seventh Princess!

"I have the final say on the military affairs here, and it's not up to you to tell me what to do!" Princess Nineteen simply rejected Feng Xiaoyong's unreasonable request.

"Ha! This is the Seventh Princess' order, don't you dare to disobey?" Feng Xiaoyong didn't flinch, and shouted arrogantly, with an expression that didn't take the Nineteenth Princess seriously.

"Listen, the army that Seventh Sister stays here is for auxiliary defense, and it can only be dispatched at critical times! And it must be at my command! This is not Seventh Sister's fiefdom, so you say, is it to let Seventh Sister carry it on her back? Is it a charge of rebellion?" Princess Nineteen said tit for tat.

"Ah? I didn't say that, don't slander me!" Feng Xiaoyong was startled, this crime is too big, the old emperor is not dead yet!

"Then why do you interfere with my military affairs? And you are also arrogant and rude to me, the princess! Could it be that this is also the order of the seventh sister?" The nineteenth princess's sharp words made Feng Xiaoyong speechless. Only then did I realize that the nineteenth princess is not so easy to deal with!

"Yes! Please forgive the nineteenth princess. I have offended you so much. This is because I want to help the nineteenth princess as soon as possible, so I have neglected etiquette!" Feng Xiaoyong thought for a while, and finally bowed and saluted, his voice was not so loud Arrogant.

"Go and settle your troops first, and don't disturb the people, or you will be killed without mercy!" The Nineteenth Princess snorted coldly, and with a wave of her hand, Feng Xiaoyong retreated.

"Hey! Princess, you were so domineering just now, that Feng Xiaoyong was so scared!" Wu Yue exclaimed excitedly from the side at this time, this was the attitude she most wanted to see.

"Hmph! What's so domineering? It's just to frustrate his spirit! But the meaning of Seventh Sister may be very clear!" The nineteenth princess smiled lightly, but she was very disappointed in her heart. What the seventh princess did was to think We are about to take over Xiyuan City.This proves once again that the Seventh Princess didn't regard her as an ally at all, but just a puppet!

……

In Zhao Meng's camp, Tong Wuxin and Zhao Shenbao quietly went to see Zhao Meng off. Zhao Meng was Duanmuqi's most trusted general and also Zhao Shenbao's uncle, so Zhao Shenbao was somewhat sad at this time.

Zhu Xiaobao and Jumei also went there. For Zhao Meng, Zhu Xiaobao still has a very good friendship, and Jumei's gold and stone bow was given by Zhao Meng, so don't look at Jumei as stupid, see Zhao Meng actually knelt down and kowtowed, and made a big salute!

"Hehe! Get up, get up, I didn't expect you to come to see the old man off! In fact, my trip can be regarded as a good start and a good end, and I have not made an enemy of the nineteenth princess. So there will be a day to meet in the future!" Zhao Meng is very open-minded, and He has long wanted to leave here.He was not willing to be an enemy of Princess Nineteen and Zhu Xiaobao.Of course, he also knew that when he left, Princess Nineteen's life would be difficult!

"General Zhao, you are suddenly transferred away at this time, does the Seventh Princess already have doubts about you? Or is there another use?" Zhu Xiaobao asked suddenly.

"Hmm! It should be both. The last time I lent you a hundred heavy crossbows, I didn't take them back. Someone reported it to the Seventh Princess. Although the Seventh Princess didn't blame me, I knew it was already I’m very dissatisfied! In addition, the guard general of Chengnan County is my good friend, so I may be transferred back to persuade him!” Zhao Meng doesn’t look like a big and thick guy, but he can achieve his current position. Things are also very clear.

The Seventh Princess is suspicious by nature, Zhao Meng has stayed in Xiyuan City for more than a year, and it is inevitable that he will have some friendship with the Nineteenth Princess, so it is reasonable to switch defenses this time.

Although Zhao Meng is a general under the Seventh Princess, he is very respected, but there are many eyes and ears in his camp, who are watching all the time, and will report to the Seventh Princess in time if there is any situation.Even the Seventh Princess knew about Zhao Meng's gift of the golden and stone bow to Jumei, but it was Zhao Meng's private collection, so the Seventh Princess couldn't say anything!

This time to see Zhao Meng off, Zhu Xiaobao sent a lot of burnt knives and some other gifts before parting. As Zhao Meng said, it is not bad to be able to part like this, at least there is no need to use force on the battlefield!And this time Zhu Xiaobao showed his face in a fair and honest way. If Zhao Meng left, no one went to see him off, it would be abnormal. Even the nineteenth princess sent someone to send some rewards. She is a princess, so the gift Of course it's a reward...

……

In Southeast County, the Seventh Princess slapped the table and was furious: "It's wrong, it's wrong, your wings are stiff, and you already want to get rid of me. Come here, pass my order, and add [-] troops to Xiyuan City. I let her This city lord can't do it either!"

"Ah, Qiantui, please don't do it. You have just given King Ming and King Wen an excuse to send troops. When the nineteenth princess really fights back, even if there are ten times more troops, they will not be King Ming and King Wen. His opponent! At that time, the eldest prince will definitely benefit in the end!" Duanmu Qi was shocked, and hurriedly persuaded him.

"What? Didn't you hear that Nineteenth Sister and Second Brother and Third Brother are conspiring to join forces, so you will be happy if you really lose Xiyuan City?" Seventh Princess roared furiously.

"This is exactly the divorce plan of King Ming and the others! How could you be fooled?" Duanmu Qi still saw it very clearly, and could tell at a glance that this was a divorce plan. No matter how stupid the nineteenth princess was, she would never join forces with King Ming. .In that case, it is tantamount to surrendering Xiyuan City.How many people are there for the nineteenth princess?Without equal strength, how can we have the qualifications to join forces?

"Huh? I know she won't join forces with Second Brother and the others, but I just want to let her know that I am the master of Xiyuan City!" Seventh Princess said fiercely, at this time her eyes no longer had any affection , some are just the ambition to dominate the world...

Chapter 213 I'm Really Dead

Having said that, the Seventh Princess didn't dare to increase her troops. After all, the old emperor is still alive, and the Chengnan County she is facing is also ready for battle, which makes the Seventh Princess very annoyed.But there is no other way. They are Chen Bing in their own county, so they can only recruit Zhao Meng back. The general on the opposite side has been friends with Zhao Meng for many years, and is also a very experienced and shrewd handsome talent, and only Zhao Meng is like this. Generals can deal with it.

Duanmu Qi withdrew from the main hall, An Qi shook her head, the Seventh Princess was still too impatient, but he was very happy to be able to replace Zhao Meng, his thoughts were the same as Zhao Meng's, he didn't want to be hostile to the Nineteenth Princess, and even more so. I don't want to become a hostile relationship with Zhu Xiaobao.Duanmu Qi always had a feeling that Zhu Xiaobao might really be the one who could influence the situation of the battle.

In Xiyuan City, Feng Xiaoyong's defense area really expanded. The left and right sides facing King Ming were handed over to him, while Princess Nineteen was confronting King Wen's fief. But the business is still going on, but the free boutiques given to Princess Wen every month are no longer given.On the contrary, King Ming is still giving them away. This is also a small strategy of the nineteenth princess, and it can be regarded as a small countermeasure!

But the effect of this little countermeasure is really good. Princess Wen is not happy immediately. She can't figure out why the nineteenth sister suddenly cut off the free gift for herself. Sometimes people are like this. Once you get used to it , suddenly disappeared, very upset!

In desperation, King Wen told the story of offending Nineteen Sister last time. In fact, King Wen was also very entangled. After all, King Ming is really not flattering.But now it can only continue to join forces with King Ming.

After hearing the whole story, Concubine Wen immediately became displeased and started arguing with King Wen. This was the first time that Concubine Wen had an argument with King Wen in these years. In fact, the matter of Princess Nineteen was just an external cause. She had always been disgusted with joining forces with King Ming. , Now even the nineteenth sister has offended, so she couldn't help but get angry.The most important factor in this is the fear of King Ming from the bottom of his heart. Although King Ming is very disciplined now, Concubine Wen's intuition can still sense that King Ming covets her!

But the quarrel is the quarrel, King Wen and Concubine Wen both know that now is the most critical moment, and they must make a choice. In order to protect themselves, they can only join hands with King Ming!But what about the future?Once King Ming gains power, what will happen?

King Wen and Concubine Wen had just quarreled for a few days, so there was no need to quarrel anymore, because the old emperor was really dead, and Eunuch Gao had already announced it to the world and made it very clear.That is to tell these princes, you can start!

This is also a unique way of choosing a new king in the Great Xia Kingdom.It has been followed for hundreds of years.The Great Xia Kingdom has never established a prince, nor passed the throne to that prince or princess.All previous emperors were won by their own abilities.Moreover, the coffin of the old emperor will not be buried for the time being. Instead, the new king will preside over the grand ceremony when the new king ascends the throne, and finally he will be buried in the ground!

So during this period of time, no one went back to pay homage, and the four counties around the imperial city were also ready to fight for the throne, but they couldn't burn the flames of war to the imperial city.Otherwise, why is the Seventh Princess so troubled? If she wants to enter the Central Plains, she must go through Chengnan County!

……

Zhu Xiaobao also heard the news, but he was a little puzzled by the way of choosing a new king. Didn't he think it would cause civil war and killings?Even if he seized the throne, his vitality would be seriously injured. How many years would it take to recover?

"Well! It has always been like this, so the military power of Daxia Kingdom is prosperous, everyone practices martial arts, and those princes and princesses never dare to slack off, try to manage their fiefdoms well, so they always recover very quickly after the war! And there is no All the defeated princes and princesses will not survive." Standing beside Zhu Xiaobao, Mu Chunyi said calmly, seeming to approve of this approach.

At this time, several people were sitting on the rooftop of the highest floor of Zhu Xiaobao's residence, and they were also discussing the next solution.

"I don't think the second warship should be built yet. Now it is impossible to build more than a dozen such warships. In my opinion, we can simply change it into a transport ship. When necessary, I think the nineteenth princess still has to withdraw." He came out of Xiyuan City!" Tong Wuxin said decisively.

"The production of burning knives has to be reduced by Dafu. Now the price of grain is soaring, and King Wen has issued an order that grain is not allowed to be exchanged for wine. King Ming has also issued a strict order that iron and stone are not allowed to be exchanged for wine." Nineteenth Princess pressed Follow up.She clearly felt the atmosphere before the chaos. Those large and medium-sized families had already started hoarding food quietly, but now they are buying and hoarding food openly.These big aristocratic families can survive for hundreds of years because of their ability and strength.

Fortunately, the nineteenth princess has already hoarded a lot of food, and she hoarded it in the cave, which is considered to be well prepared.

Next, it depends on who will start first. Among them, Princess Nineteen is the most helpless. Her team is too small, so she is not qualified to participate in the fight for the succession. Instead, she has to think about how to save herself.So Princess Nineteen still thought of the possibility of withdrawing from Xiyuan City.But even if they withdraw from Xiyuan City, where can they go?Will Xia Zixiu's men follow him?These are the problems that bother Princess Nineteen.

Although the war has not started during this period, the situation has changed tremendously. The supply of Nineteenth Princess’ burning knives has also begun to decrease, and the price has skyrocketed. From the original six taels of silver per jar, it has directly increased to three taels of gold per jar. , increased by five times, the reason is very simple, food prices have increased.

Now burning knives in various places is no longer sold out, and many places are placed on the shelves without queuing up.The price is too expensive, who can afford it!

The princes have also started large-scale conscription. Now the people are suffering the most. There is no place to go. Who knows where is the safest place. Most people still stay where they are and wait and see what happens.

What Princess Nineteen didn't expect was that her conscription work went very smoothly, and the common people in Xiyuan City were very enthusiastic. The reason is very simple, everyone doesn't want the Xiyuan City, which was finally alive again, to be abandoned again.So during this period of time, Xiyuan City is still very busy, busy building weapons and training recruits.The nineteenth princess's force has also increased to 8.Adding in Xia Zixiu's 4 horses, he already has a bit of confidence.
