(The general is on the same page) The Queen of Xixia

Keep in mind our website and wish you all a happy reading!Don't forget to spread the word.

There were many such children during the war years, and the number of adopted children changed from a few hundred to more than 1000 in less than two years. They were not only provided with basic necessities of life, but also taught them to practice martial arts and read characters.Wu En and Yinuo's salaries and living expenses soon reached their limits, so they had to stop expanding their staff.If it weren't for getting a lot of oil and water from King Qi, Wu En and Yinuo might become the poorest princes in the history of Xixia.

Now that they have land and military power, they can also get some cattle, sheep and camels from the Ulan tribe, plus the supplies sent by King Qi every six months, not to mention thousands of people, tens of thousands of people can afford it. So Yinuo started to accept people again, but he still had to keep a low profile.

The last time Eno asked her if she wanted to take over the small tribe that was attached to Yinglagu’s natal tribe, Wu En thought about it and handed it over to Halton. They took revenge all these years, and Halton secretly helped them too. few.Besides, she and Yinuo are too popular now, if you don't show it, it will be bad if there is a rift between the First Prince and them.

He discussed several plans with Ino, and finally remembered the secret weapon he asked Ino to study, and asked how the development was going.

"According to the ratio of ingredients you mentioned, we have made improvements, and the power has been increased several times, but it still doesn't have the effect you mentioned." Eno replied.

"You look for people who are proficient in this way, we don't have so much time to wait for them to try it slowly." Wu En rubbed his brows, and said:

"By the way, I drew another 100 people out, and you sent them to Shazhou in the west under the pretext of leading troops on patrol."

"You want to send people to the west again? You sent two batches a year ago and they haven't come back yet."

Wu En said: "Don't worry, even though it's an idle move, if we succeed, it will be of innumerable benefits to us. And this time sending people is not only to clear up trade, but more importantly, to support the first sent out the group of people."

"You mean the person who was sent to learn what...the catapult!" Ino finally remembered.

"Didn't Song Dynasty have the blueprint for making this catapult? Why do we still send people to the distant Seljuk Kingdom?"

"The kind of broken frame in the Song Dynasty that requires at least a dozen people or as many as hundreds of people to pull the pole is also worthy of being called a catapult?" Wu En said disdainfully.

"Also, we do business with Uighurs in private, and we must not let our father know about it." Finally, he asked Yinuo to go to work.

After Yinuo left, Wu En relaxed his body and fell back, lying on his back on the carpet, feeling very tired.

As the second prince of Xixia, it is not easy to live a stable life.The royal family fights each other for the throne, even if she doesn't fight or grab it, she may not be able to avoid civil strife.

Not to mention that the king of Xixia is ambitious to win the Central Plains. Even if Xixia does not take the initiative to attack, Song Shenzong will succeed to the throne in another 30 years. If everything develops according to historical facts, Song Shenzong will gather five armies and launch a five-way attack on Xia.

I also thought about going to Song Dynasty to live the life of ordinary people incognito, but the pit was on her face. Any Song person could see her blood, and Song Liannian fought against the northern nomads.

The concept that people who are not of our race must be different is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. She can imagine that she will definitely be discriminated against by the Han people, and she doesn't want to be disguised for the rest of her life. Why can't I live a bright and aboveboard life?

Therefore, she is doing all she can to strengthen her power, and she must also strengthen Xixia.

Not long after the founding of the Xixia Kingdom, they competed with Xizhou Uighurs, which is the modern eastern region of Xinjiang, for Hexi. Happens often.

After negotiating peace with the Uighurs in recent years, heavy taxes were imposed.As a result, fewer and fewer merchants came and went, and the originally lush land Silk Road gradually became lonely.Wu En suggested to the Xixia king several times to open up trade in the west, but he did not accept it. The Xixia king attached great importance to this tax.

For this behavior of killing chickens and taking eggs, Wu En was very helpless.

"Hmph! Old lion, you should give up your seat."

Wu En looked at the top of the tent with firm eyes.

She must get the throne, otherwise she will not be able to protect herself, how can she protect Xiyin?

------------------------------------------------

Shuozhou, Liufu.

Liu Xiyin sat in front of the mirror and looked at herself.Today, my aunt arranged for a new Jinshi to meet her, and by accident, she opened the box, and found that it was full of jewelry sent by Ah Qing. She combed a tassel bun, took out a hairpin inlaid with gold and pearls, and slowly put it on the bun. .

Side ears, a pair of golden silk lantern earrings were worn on the ear holes that hadn't been worn for a long time.

Hao wore a Hetian jade bracelet on his wrist.

He wanted to replace the hidden weapon ring on his finger with a gem agate ring, but he paused for a while after touching the ring, and did not take it off.She put on a jeweled ring on her other hand.

Vermilion lips pursed the rouge paper lightly, and a peerless beauty in full costume was reflected in the bronze mirror.

However, Liu Xiyin showed no expression, since a polite refusal could not dispel her uncle and aunt's desire to marry her.Today, she will no longer show mercy.

She walked out of the boudoir, Hongying covered her mouth in shock when she saw her, she had never seen a young lady dressed so grandly.

Since she was a child, Liu Xiyin didn't like to wear gold and silver too much, but when she grew up a little bit, all the dowry jewelry was replaced by food and grass.

When she walked into the yard, her aunt and the new scholar were sitting at the stone table chatting.

That was where she stayed with Ah Qing, her eyebrows were slightly frowned, and she was even more bored with the man in front of her.

Mrs. Liu saw that Liu Xiyin, who used to be dressed in plain white gauze skirts, was wearing a pleated skirt today. The narrow waist made Liu Xiyin's uncontrollable waist even more slender. With a touch of charm.

When the Xinke Jinshi saw Mrs. Liu staring blankly behind him and not moving, he felt something and turned around.

"Crack." The teacup in his hand fell to the ground, and the sound of shattering brought back the consciousness of everyone present.

Aware of his gaffe, Xinke Jinshi stood up, cupped his fists and bowed in salute.

"Xiaosheng is abrupt."

It's just that the eyes are still fixed on Liu Xiyin's face and can't move away.

Liu Xiyin was not annoyed either, and after exchanging pleasantries with him, she invited the new scholar to go for a walk on the street, and the happy new scholar hurriedly led her the way.

Mrs. Liu who stayed in the mansion was still in shock, "Could this girl have finally figured it out?" Mrs. Liu who felt this possibility had a gratified smile on her face.

On the street, Liu Xiyin saw the biggest jewelry shop in Shuozhou City in front of her, so she went in, followed by Xin Ke champion, seeing that Liu Xiyin seemed to be picking out hairpins, she picked out a hairpin embedded with jade beads and asked Liu Xiyin if she liked it or not. If you like it, give it to her as a meeting gift.

Liu Xiyin just shook her head, pointing to a jade bud that was specially placed in a silk brocade box.

The boss saw that the girl had a peerless face and extraordinary temperament, so she must be a rich man, so he hurried over and said:

"The girl has extraordinary eyesight. The name of this step is 'Buying lotus step by step'. The lotus leaves are carved from fine jadeite jade. The outer petals are made of yellow jade, and the innermost petals are made of precious Hetian from the Western Regions." White jade, even the tassels are made of the most transparent crystal beads. It is the treasure of our Baoxuan Pavilion!"

Liu Xiyin looked at the new Jinshi, her lips parted slightly:

"I like this."

The face of Xinke Jinshi suddenly became livid. Although he won the Jinshi, his family is not very rich, how could he afford such a thing.How to save face:

"Miss Liu, Mr. Zhao really didn't bring enough money today, why don't you choose another one? If Miss Liu really likes this move, in the future——"

Liu Xiyin suddenly removed her hairpin and asked the shop owner:

"Could you please help me see how my hairpin is?"

The boss took it carefully with both hands, and looked at it carefully for a while.
