Film and television actress, she has many children and good fortune

Chapter 336: Ink Rain and Clouds - Wan Ning 11

After a night's rest, they arrived at the border between Dayan and Dai that day. When Wan Ning entered the city, Xiao Heng showed his special pass, and the local county magistrate received them.

It was already late when Wan Ning and her companions entered the city, and the local county magistrate arranged accommodation for them.

In fact, Wan Ning had been controlling people since she entered the county town, but she did not send anyone to control the local county magistrate as soon as she arrived. She planned to first understand the current situation at the border.

The State of Yan was so weak that it had to use a woman as a hostage in exchange for a brief peace. Although Wan Ning had lived in the State of Dai, the people there had restrictions on her, and there were some things she did not fully understand. Now that there was a border between the two countries, the common people were often disturbed by the State of Dai.

It was not enough for the county wall alone to isolate the State of Dai. Not all the people lived in the county. Some lived in remote mountainous areas. There were only border lines in remote areas, but no city walls. This gave the people of Dai a breakthrough opportunity to plunder the State of Yan.

The people of Dai were good at herding cattle and sheep, and at riding and shooting. They were a nation on horseback.

Due to the terrain, it is already very cold in autumn. The early cold weather shortens the growing season of crops there and reduces yields.

They were poor and had a shortage of supplies, so their development depended almost entirely on robbing the people of Yan of their grain harvest every season.

When it is harvest season and the two countries are at peace, Dai will disguise itself as bandits and come to Yan to rob people and food. If there is a war between the two countries, Dai may not even pretend.

It was the autumn harvest season again, and the people from the Dai State had become active again, eyeing the people of the Yan State with a covetous look, causing panic among the people of the Dayan State.

Wan Ning and Xiao Heng had only been walking on the street for a short while when they discovered that the common people were hurrying back and the small vendors were starting to pack up their stalls.

Xiao Heng walked up to a vendor and asked, "Fellow villager, it's still daylight, why are you in such a hurry to close your stall?"

The vendor looked up at them but didn't stop what he was doing. "You are from other places, right? The curfew here is at 5 p.m. I advise you to go back early. The autumn harvest is coming, and the Dai Kingdom may come and plunder at any time."

After hearing the news from the street vendors, Xiao Heng's expression immediately turned serious. This was why the common people living on the border would return to their homes and close their doors and windows as soon as the sun went down.

Have the people of Dai become so arrogant?

Wan Ning looked at the time on her watch. The You hour is from 5 to 6 p.m., and the people living at the border are under curfew from 5 to 6 p.m.

When the firepower is insufficient and the national strength is not strong, the common people living on the border not only have to endure this humiliation, but also have to live in fear every day, guarding against being robbed by the people of Dai State.

It's really infuriating to endure this humiliation.

In fact, Wan Ning felt that the State of Yan relied on agricultural development, salt, and handicrafts to develop its economy. Handicrafts included textiles, iron manufacturing, ceramics, etc.

The economic development was okay. Before she came to the border, when she collected the national treasury, there was a lot of money in it. And when she collected the arsenal, she saw that the military expenditure of Yan State was not large. It might be to avoid excessive power of local parties, and there was a sense of suppressing military generals. This also led to the weakness of Yan State in terms of military strength.

In this situation, the country's borders are almost undefendable. We should first reduce some unnecessary expenditures in other areas, increase part of the money in the national treasury to military spending, and guard the gates.

However, the national treasury does not seem to be completely under the control of Emperor Hong Xiao. He has to discuss with the ministers in the court before making the final decision.

The officers and soldiers once again sounded the curfew drums.

Wan Ning looked at Xiao Heng for a while before saying, "Xiao Heng, let's go back first."

"Yeah!" Xiao Heng responded in a depressed tone.

Wan Ning paused, "Can't you bear to see the people being bullied?" Facing Wan Ning's question, he nodded dully again.

He couldn't help but laugh bitterly: "With such external threats, the capital is still busy with internal strife. Who cares about the suffering of ordinary people on the border?"

Wan Ning nodded in agreement. The reason for the demise of every dynasty was that internal strife and consumption were exploited by the enemy. This was common, but it was not the main reason for the demise of a country.

They are worried that the military generals will have too much power, and they value civil officials over military officials. Not only do they want to suppress the military generals, but they also want to suppress the military generals. This is really unreasonable unless the country is destroyed.

Although Xiao Heng did not die in the battle in the end, his army was almost wiped out.

And then it ended.

If a country is completely wiped out, it will be targeted by neighboring countries. Even if the Great Yan Kingdom sends hostages again, or cedes land and pays compensation to seek peace, it will be of no use.

Although there was no subsequent plot, the army was almost completely wiped out, and the Great Yan Kingdom had no choice but to be destroyed.

Not only the Dai Kingdom, there is also the Da Zhao Kingdom that is eyeing the Yan Kingdom covetously. If the Yan Kingdom is destroyed and there are no generals to guard the city, the possibility that the surrounding countries will divide the spoils and annex the Yan Kingdom is the greatest.

That being said, since Dai Kingdom has not yet invaded, and the other nearby Da Zhao Kingdom, which is eyeing the throne covetously, has not made any move, she is not usurping the throne at all; she is definitely the savior of the Great Yan Kingdom.

This time, Xiao Heng followed the princess to the border and learned about the situation of the people living there. Xiao Heng realized the seriousness of the matter. If things continued to develop in this way, it was possible that the country would be destroyed.

Since Xiao Heng came back, he has been in a very heavy mood.

Since the last time they went out on the streets, they have settled down at the border.

They stayed there for nearly two months. Under Wan Ning's instructions, her guards took control of the local county magistrate.

Wan Ning's guards were not ordinary servants. They were guards in her house, soldiers on the battlefield, and then generals who guarded the border.

Wan Ning did all this without telling Xiao Heng.

Xiao Heng was so frightened by the princess' sudden behavior that his hands trembled for a moment.

"Why did the princess control the local county magistrate and the general guarding the border? The princess was so impulsive. Did she ever think that if she controlled the county magistrate and the general guarding the border, she would be accused of treason even if she had no intention of treason."

At first, Princess Wan Ning took the opportunity of inviting everyone to dinner to control the county magistrate and the general guarding the border. Xiao Heng had been obsessed with his passionate love for her, and when he realized something was wrong, she had already taken action to control him.

Wan Ning blinked: "That's what I meant.

Xiao Heng's eyes widened in horror and his mind went blank. The princess admitted it, admitted that she was planning a rebellion.

"Princess, have you ever thought about your mother and your brother becoming king in the palace when you are so impulsive?"

Once the emperor learns of the princess's actions, the lives of her relatives in the capital will be in danger.

His clansmen will also be implicated.

Of course Wan Ning did not forget her brother King Cheng and her mother Concubine Liu.

"Brother will protect mother and will not let anything happen to her." She did not take everyone with her when she left Beijing, but she had already made arrangements for them.

"Have you ever thought for a moment about the relatives of the guards who follow you?"

Wan Ning glanced at him, "Do you think I'm so hard-hearted? Don't worry, I've already made arrangements in the capital, but you still have to make a decision quickly, whether to follow me or not. If you don't follow me, I can let you go and won't implicate you."

She placed her hand on her still flat belly. She wanted to cut off all love and only wanted the kingdom, not the handsome man. She had already used the male protagonist for the female protagonist, and he was quite good. She was already pregnant with a child. She had originally planned to kill the father and keep the child if things went wrong.

Now, she was somewhat reluctant to leave her father alone. Of course, if Xiao Heng wanted to leave, she would not stop him. As long as he did not go against her in the future, perhaps they would meet on the battlefield one day. She would choose to spare his life because he was the father of her child.

Wan Ning gave Xiao Heng a few days to think about it. During these days, Xiao Heng ignored her and treated her coldly. Even when she took the initiative to approach him to please him, he still acted as if she was indifferent.

Wan Ning was really speechless because of his awkwardness. Just do it. She shook her head helplessly. Humph, when the day comes when I lose my patience with you, I won’t give you a chance to save the relationship…

Until this day, Wan Ning had just taken a sip of water when Xiao Heng suddenly appeared behind her and hugged her.

He came up suddenly, strangling her so tightly that it was difficult for Wan Ning to breathe. This made her think more. Was this bastard trying to strangle her to death?

The uncomfortable emotion in her heart surged up in her heart. She was soft-hearted and let this man go, but his first reaction when he knew that she was going to rebel was to kill her.

Wan Ning immediately reached out to grab it. She couldn't be soft-hearted this time and had to kill this bastard.

However, before she could touch the gun, his aggrieved voice rang in her ears.

"You are so mean. You know I can't leave you anymore, but you still want to drive me away and ignore me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wan Ning took out a gun and pressed it against his manly dignity. Well, he turned the tables on her. Suddenly, she paused. Didn't he want to kill her?

Xiao Heng was very angry at her stress reaction. His eyebrows were throbbing, his eyes were red, and he loosened his arms that were holding her.

Did she really not trust him? What was she trying to do by pushing him? Was she trying to destroy him?

Although I don't know what is in her hand, the power of what she took out is definitely not small.

It was not until later, when Xiao Heng witnessed the power of a gun, that he finally realized that Wan Ning had indeed intended to destroy him.

"You are such a heartless woman." Xiao Heng said with a wry smile.

"So you don't want to strangle me?" Wan Ning put the gun back with some embarrassment.

"Don't you trust me that much? Do you think I would be willing to strangle you to death? So you want to destroy me?" Xiao Heng was angered by her words, and his face immediately turned red.

Wan Ning had an innocent look on her face. Thinking back to his behavior at the beginning, it did make her feel uncomfortable. She did that to protect herself, so what was wrong with that?

She was so upset that her tears came out. "How dare you say that? How many days have you ignored me? I took the initiative to please you, but you ignored me. Today, you suddenly came up to me and almost killed me. Shouldn't I doubt you?"

I have never seen anyone like him, no one would misunderstand him.

When she cried, his heart ached and he hugged her again. "I missed you so much. Do you know how panicked I was when you stopped trying to please me and treated me coldly?"

He felt wronged. He had boarded her pirate ship, but he had to pay compensation to the Xiao family. He thought about it for a long time before making up his mind...

As they were talking, he bent down and kissed her without any moral ethics until she was almost out of breath. He let her go and picked her up horizontally.

Having been ignored by her for such a long time, he really missed her so much.

Wan Ning slapped him. "No."

Rejected, Xiao Heng paused, his eyes gradually dimmed, and he placed her on the bed and asked, "Why?"

Just because I ignored her for a few days, is she unwilling to do this and that with me?

"I'm pregnant." At this point, Wan Ning understood his choice. He chose her, so there was no need for her to hide it from him.

Xiao Hengyi stared at her belly in disbelief and swallowed his saliva. "Are you pregnant with our child?"

Wan Ning nodded.

Yes, I’m pregnant.

She took his hand and placed it on her belly.

————————————dividing line!

The situation in the capital became tense. Emperor Hong Xiao had to deal with Prince Cheng's repeated attempts, and also worried about how to deal with the empty treasury. Concubine Li's private treasury subsidies were limited, and she would not be able to continue the subsidies for a long time. Emperor Hong Xiao had to cut non-essential expenditures to temporarily relieve the pressure.

It was the grain harvest season, and at the border between the two countries, people from the Dai State frequently crossed the border on horseback to provoke.

This happens once or twice every day, almost as soon as the provocation is made, and then the person rides away on horseback.

The soldiers of Yan State made repeated concessions, and Dai State became even more unscrupulous.

Wan Ning, who was standing on the city wall, was furious when she saw this. How could she tolerate this? But if she considered it from the perspective of the indigenous people, what could she do if she couldn't tolerate it? Once the war started, the Yan State, which had insufficient firepower, would only be beaten. Not only would it suffer heavy losses, but it would also lose its territory.

If he threw a grenade right now and blew up the provocative man on horseback holding a spear, a war between the two countries would be imminent.

Wan Ning didn't want to hurt innocent people, so she planned to give them a surprise in the middle of the night.

In other small worlds, Wan Ning got the position by giving birth to a son, which was legitimate, so it was relatively easy for her to control the court officials, and the court officials would cooperate with her.

The small worlds ahead all developed in a similar way. First, she exchanged blueprints in the system mall, then built factories to develop weapons, expanded the army, and operated firearms. She would not take part in the battle personally.

She had touched and used guns before, but she had never actually operated a drone. She had to practice in person to make sure she could perfectly control the drone and let it fly freely in the sky.

Wan Ning now regards Xiao Heng as her own. She leads her guards, as well as Xiao Heng and the people he brought from Yan State, to a remote open space.

She looked around and was quite satisfied. The place was spacious and surrounded by mountains. It was hidden enough and could be used as a training ground.

When Wan Ning asked the maid to take out the walkie-talkie and the drone again.

Princess Wan Ning always took out strange and bizarre objects that amazed everyone, things they had never seen before. Everyone gathered around her curiously, as if they had never seen the world before, as usual.

Xiao Heng looked at the two large black objects with great anticipation. Although he didn't know what they were or what their specific uses were, he had a hunch that anything produced by Princess Wan Ning must be a top-notch product.
