The phoenix pattern is surging

[Xiping border city Juliang]

In the General's Mansion, a person was standing in the middle of the hall in Dongyue's casual clothes. This person was short in stature, around fifty, with a long beard and a tense expression.

Su Mo glanced at Kang Ping, who was standing on the left, and Kang Ping smiled knowingly: "What does your country mean, but you want to form an alliance with our country?"

"Our country is sincere, but what is your country's will?"

Su Mo's peachy eyes narrowed, there was a smile on his face, but none in his eyes: "I don't understand, what's the benefit of cooperating with you, Dongyue? In other words, if I don't agree, what loss will I have?"

He was leaning on the high chair, his eyes were sharp, and the man surnamed Qi and Rui was almost stunned, Su Mo saw the fear on his face, so he smiled: "What are you afraid of, I haven't said no yet. "

Kang Ping echoed with a smile: "The special envoy need not be nervous."

"As entrusted by my Majesty, I only hope that this trip will not disgrace the mission, and I will explain to my superiors. Naturally, everything depends on your country's nod."

Su Mo smiled lightly and nodded: "I will consider this matter. Come here and take the special envoy down to rest."

Gong Huaian came in with a bow and gestured to the special envoy of Dongyue, Qi Rui hesitated again and again, and finally walked away.

Su Mo glanced at the elegant man standing below, with a smile in his eyes: "Unexpectedly, before I opened my mouth, he came to the door eagerly."

"Since this is the case, Your Majesty might as well go along with the flow."

"It's not impossible."

The so-called ambiguity and holding both ends may be his current attitude. Kang Ping raised his eyes and looked over, with a vague look of puzzlement in his eyes: "Could it be that your majesty still hesitates?"

Su Mo smiled charmingly, and clicked on the sheepskin map on the case: "It's too eager, and people will inevitably gain the upper hand. Only by hanging him can we increase the bargaining chip in the negotiation."

Kang Ping nodded knowingly: "Although Beiye is a formidable enemy, Dongyue is not a light-saving lamp. Now it seems that Yue Hengping is good at planning. When he confronts tit for tat, he must be careful."

"Of course... I want it."

In less than a cup of tea, Gong Huai'an went back and forth, and after coming in, he explained the Dongyue envoy's reaction in detail. The more Su Mo listened, the happier he became. Finally, he raised his eyebrows at Kang Ping and said: " It seems that he is very anxious."

Kang Ping nodded with a smile, Su Mo drank tea happily, then remembered something again, and asked Kang Ping with a smile: "Is she willing to say it?"

"Hehe, since the father and daughter have met, her wish has been fulfilled, so there is no reason not to cooperate."

"It's a filial piety."

"I didn't expect that although Xiang Qi is useless, having a daughter would be a great job. Now the ladder is half built, and I have personally gone to see it. It is really extraordinary."

Su Mo nodded in satisfaction, with a vigorous and full smile in his eyes, Kang Ping said again: "Since she is Princess Danfeng, she must be very familiar with Minghua Palace, with this girl in hand, the future attack on the city will definitely be more effective. "

"It's all thanks to you."

"Hehe, I dare not take credit."

As soon as Kang Ping mentioned it, Su Mo became interested, and simply moved to look at the ladder.

At that time, Xiang Xinsu was instructing the craftsmen to build the auxiliary frame of the ladder. He was slightly startled when he saw the man in the toga embroidered with Nine Dragons, and reluctantly bowed his body. It was regarded as a gift, and all the craftsmen had already knelt down and kowtowed. , she was the only one standing there, she was a bit maverick.

Seeing that she was so rebellious, Gong Huaian was about to scold her, but Su Mo stretched out his hand to signal him not to make a fuss, and walked forward with a smile on his face, and tapped on the base of the ladder: "Xiang Qi actually let you It's a pity that you don't need it, baby."

Xiang Xinsu didn't expect him to say that at all, his face blushed, and he turned his face away to say no, Kang Ping walked forward with a light smile, stood a step behind Su Mo, and said, "It can be seen that it is God's blessing." Xiping, Your Majesty's blessings last forever, which is truly a blessing for the world."

"Wag your tail and beg for mercy!" Xiang Xinsu snorted coldly, with a look of disdain on his face, and Kang Ping was not annoyed. He smiled and turned his face to look at the magic weapon. Su Mo raised his finger to signal everyone to get up, and walked back and forth again. Happy to leave.

Gong Huai'an followed behind him, saw his eyes were full of smiles, and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, do you want to call her to bed tonight?"

Su Mo remained silent, and still walked forward unhurriedly. After a long time, he nodded lightly, and he didn't know whether he liked it or not.

The night is like water, and a bright moon hangs high in the sky.

When Xiang Xinsu entered the room, Su Mo was holding his wine glass and standing under the window, staring at the bright moonlight in a daze, and didn't even hear the sound of footsteps.He was always alert, so Xiang Xinsu was taken aback by his ignorant appearance.

She stood still at the same spot, bowed her head, and waited for the man to call, until her feet were a little numb, but she did not wait for an answer. With one thought in her mind, she walked forward in a strange way, only to touch the corner of the man's robe, Su Mo Mo turned around and was disappointed when she saw her: "It's you."

"Are you waiting for someone?" She blurted out, Su Mo glanced at her lightly, leaned back on the couch, and beckoned: "Come here."

He was lying on his back with his eyes closed, his toga hanging on the ground, and there was no emotion on his face.She hesitated for a moment, stepped forward lightly, and stood a step away from the couch.

After a long silence, Su Mo looked straight at her from the side, with mottled light and shadow in his eyes, Xiang Xinsu blushed, and asked, "Why did you ask me?"

"What do you say?"

"I do not know."

Su Mo smiled lightly, knocked on the edge of the couch, and signaled her to come over. Xiang Xinsu bowed her head and took another step forward. She was about to stop when she was suddenly pulled by someone and fell face-to-face into the man's arms. She subconsciously wanted to Struggling to get up, the man said in a hoarse voice: "Don't move."

As soon as she said this, she really didn't move any more. There was a light laugh from above her head, accompanied by a sigh that seemed to be nothing. There is a piece of white jade that has been handed down from ancient times, one person is as long as two people are wide, isn't it?"

Xiang Xinsu blushed again and nodded uncomfortably. Su Mo narrowed his eyes and asked, "Where did Xiang Qi put it?"

"Inside the bedroom."

"The dormitory? Would he be so wasteful and just use it as a bronze mirror?"

After he finished asking, Xiang Xinsu's face was completely red. Su Mo saw her embarrassed expression, smiled knowingly, and sighed: "What a Minghua Palace with countless treasures, I look forward to it day and night." Hope, what I have been waiting for is to take him into my arms, and now it seems that that day is not too far away."

"Your Majesty's gold-threaded clothes woven with thousands of gold and pearls can only be better than nothing, so why bother to envy fish in the abyss?" Her words were sarcasm, but Su Mo laughed: "You don't understand, he... ...is special. You are not me, how can you understand?"

He spoke incoherently, and Xiang Xinsu looked up in confusion, but seeing soft waves surging in the eyes of Qiu Shui, he forgot to look sideways for a while.

[Danfeng Capital City Linyang]

Ding Shun led someone in, but it was Qu Lie who was far away in Linxi.Jiang Jue was not surprised to see him at all, and asked bluntly, "How is the situation in Linxi?"

"Yechu's [-] remnants have retreated, and our army has more than [-] left."

Jiang Jue nodded in satisfaction: "Sure enough, I have lived up to my trust." After finishing speaking, he restrained his face and asked, "How is Chen Pei?"

Qu Lie bowed and said: "Do your best, there is nothing wrong."

"In that case, I can rest assured that I will hand over the soldiers and horses to him. From now on, you don't have to go back to Linxi, but stay in Linyang to help out."

Qu Lie was taken aback for a moment, Linyang was extremely safe at the moment, but it was Chen Pei who could not do without his advice.He raised his eyes to look at Jiang Jue, with a puzzled look on his face, Jiang Jue pondered for a moment, and said: "I just received a report from the spies that Xiping has made some moves in Heyang. I'm afraid there will be a fierce battle soon."

His tone was solemn, and Qu Lie nodded clearly: "In that case, I am at your Majesty's disposal at any time."

Just when Li Ran came out of the inner hall, after listening to the end of the conversation, he frowned and asked, "If you're not here at this juncture, can Chen Pei stop it?"

Qu Lie smiled silently: "Don't worry, Your Highness, he has [-] soldiers and horses in hand, even if Dongyue's army overwhelms the border, at least it can last for more than ten days."

Li Ran saw that his expression was calm and carefree, and thought to himself that since he was so confident, there should be no problem, so he nodded with a smile, and didn't ask any more questions.

Jiang Jue raised his finger and motioned for Qu Lie to sit down, but Qu Lie sat down politely and said calmly, "It's not a day or two for Heyang to be harassed by bandits, but it's never been on a scale. This time The situation that needs to be reported must not be as simple as an ordinary disaster. Yin Qian would think of such a trick to fish in troubled waters, and there must be an expert around him."

Jiang Jue stared at the leading paperweight on the case for a long time, then said in a deep voice, "Send someone to Juliang to inquire quickly, I would like to know who is so capable."

Qu Lie responded, but Jiang Jue was still worried, and explained the details one by one.

Li Ran sat and listened to the conversation, felt sore back, so he got up and went out to walk around. When he walked through the corridor, he bumped into Meng Zhaokun who had been waiting for a long time. He looked at the old man in surprise, and asked: " Why do you look like this?"

Meng Zhaokun bowed to him with a bitter old face, and said in a low voice: "Return to Your Highness, there are some troubles in the two newly opened counties, Chen Te came to ask for instructions."

Li Ran raised his eyebrows, concealed his surprise, and beckoned him to follow: "Talk while walking."

"Your Highness, I am waiting for His Majesty to summon you."

"There is someone inside, and it won't be your turn for a while, so tell me first."

"This..." Meng Zhaokun was troubled, Li Ran squinted his eyes and looked down at him, asking, "What? I can't listen?"

"No, no, I dare not."

"Then say it."

Although his tone was indifferent, Meng Zhaokun knew that this man was a man of his own accord. After weighing it over and over again, he raised his heels and said as he walked, "That's what happened. A few days ago, there was news from Wucheng that the grain planting incident had happened. For some situations, Chen Te came to ask for instructions."

"Wu Cheng?"

"Wucheng is a newly added county, and it is the place where millions of people have immigrated."

Li Ran responded with a stern voice, and asked again: "Hasn't the water problem been solved? Why is there still a problem?"

"What Your Highness said is very true, but this time the situation is related to the soil quality."

Meng Zhaokun took out a booklet from his sleeve while talking, Li Ran took it and scanned it back and forth, he understood it in his heart, and finally threw the booklet back to the old man, who said with a more bitter face: "After the earthquake in Xianghua, The grain stored in the capital is decreasing day by day, now that the granary is destroyed, if the northern wasteland wants to produce grain, it will take at least a year, I am afraid..."

"What are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid... I won't survive this year."

He dared to say such a big truth in front of Li Ran.Li Ran nodded and said, "One year is too long, no matter how much food is stored, it's not enough."

"What Your Highness said is very true. Now that the war is tense, it is the time when there is a great need for food and grass. The daily food and clothing of the victims of Xianghua disaster is also very important. The relief can only be temporary, not to mention according to the reports from Wucheng. It may not be a year or so to change the soil quality."

He kept on chattering, Li Ran rubbed his brows and eyes, and stretched out his hand to signal him to stop: "Okay, just pick a simple one."

Meng Zhaokun nodded belatedly: "The only solution is to solve the soil quality problem once and for all."

Li Ran stared, rubbed his chin and thought for a while, and said, "Soil quality is too professional. Are there any experts in this field?"

Meng Zhaokun's expression brightened, and he said happily: "Yes, do you want to ask him to ask questions, Your Highness?"

Li Ran said yes, and after a while, he saw a strong young man with five big and three thick come in behind the little six. Li Ran raised his eyebrows, and asked Meng Zhaokun in a low voice: "That's him?"

Meng Zhaokun clasped his fists in embarrassment and coughed. Li Ran looked at the old man up and down, and finally waved his hand, signaling him to come forward and speak.

The visitor approached, bowed and bowed, and said: "Shen, Shen, see Dian, Dian, Your Highness."

scare!Not just a bear, but a stutter.

"Your Highness, he is not usually like this. It is the first time he has been summoned, so he is inevitably intimidated by Tian Yan."

"what is his name?"

"This person's surname is Qin Mingming, and he is the number one scholar in the new discipline. He is now the agricultural supervisor." Li Ran is naturally not sure what the position of the agricultural supervisor is, and the name should be related to agriculture.

He beckoned and signaled the bear-like number one scholar to come closer: "What can you do about Wucheng County?"

"Hui, Hui, Hui Your Majesty, according to, according to, according to my minister's, of, opinion, should, should, should be given to cross, cross, alternate farming... the method of farming, compare, compare, for example, support a family, a family , Livestock, use their... excrement, discharge, and excrement to moisten, moisten, moisten the farmland, and then raise it with grass, grass, and grass mud..., or, or, maybe... is feasible, if, if, if... "

There were only two or three sentences, less than fifty characters, and it took a full three minutes for this Zhuangyuan Lang to say it, not to mention that he didn't open his mouth, and when he opened his mouth, it was a long speech.
