I didn't open it in another world, I'm sure

When Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu suddenly asked about her daughter, Sayuri's expression became a little helpless, "Ying Lili, like Xiaolan, is in 'retreat', and Xiaolan said that it is to strengthen the legendary cultivation, and it makes sense. After all, the fact that Xiaolan stepped into the eighth legendary level is now almost known in the world. But here, Yinglili seems to be escaping from this wedding no matter how you look at it. The princess of the empire is still a princess with the title of "Dawn", and she will not attend the wedding , no matter how you say it, you can’t justify it..."

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu opened his mouth, hesitated again and again, and said, "Sayuri, the world is always just the world. After transcending the world, the world will no longer have binding power—"

"Shiyu, I understand what you mean, but whether you and I are 'ordinary people' really depends on the state of life?"

"..." Asked by Sayuri, Xiazhiqiu Shiyu was speechless.

"Huh..." Sayuri sighed, and then said, "Yinglili is not a big problem here, after all, she is just a 'fake child', without any blood relationship, even if it becomes a royal scandal, it will not bottom out. It's just Xiaoli. Where is Lan... Yingli's head is about to explode these days, but Xiaolan is 'retired' at every turn, as if she doesn't come out to see people when she is less than the ninth myth level, and Yingli is completely different."

After hearing Sayuri's words, Kasumigaoka Shiyu was silent for a while, and finally could only sigh, "Our man is really a sinful one, and he is the kind that lives up to his name."

"The crime is serious... indeed. But you also said that this is our man, so even if he is a sinner, we are also the family of the sinner."

"We are also 'guilty'." Xiazhiqiu Shiyu nodded with a smile.

"Yes, we are guilty, so we are all villains."

"Wicked people are nice, aren't they?"

"Oh, that's alright."

After Sayuri nodded, she temporarily put her worries behind her and smiled at Kasumigaoka Shiu...

......

The camera returns to the stone chair in the courtyard in front of the imperial study.

Asuna was helping Nangong Xiao tidy up his collar, and Nangong Xiao also reached out and fiddled with Asuna's messy long hair.

Asuna, who was basically back to her former vigor, said, "Ah Xiao, I saw that Qiuye and Ruoxi looked a little wrong when they saw the little tree, especially Lilia. The expression of doubting life, it doesn't look right no matter what, is there anything special about Xiaoshu?"

Asked by Asuna, Nangong Xiao didn't hide anything, so she briefly talked about Xiaoshu's situation and what happened at dusk.

And not long after Nangong Xiaoshu finished speaking, Asuna couldn't help being a little speechless, "That is to say, the belief of hundreds of millions of elves, the goddess enshrined in the temple, was revived by you... It really is..."

Chapter 602 He and She - Part [-]

"Actually, it's not a big deal. When we find a way to separate in the future, just drive this elf goddess away." Nangong Xiao said casually, and stretched out her hand to hold Asuna in her arms, letting her sit on the bed. On his thigh, he let his chin lightly press on Asuna's head, while sniffing the fragrance of Asuna's hair, he held Asuna's hands with both hands and played with them lightly.

Of course, Asuna would not feel uncomfortable with this kind of intimacy, after all, she is used to it, and at the same time, she also enjoys this kind of intimacy, but she couldn't help being a little surprised when she heard Nangong Xiao's casual words, "That's it?"

"that is it."

"Would this be a waste?" Asuna couldn't help but frowned.

Nangong Xiao understood Asuna's thoughts, and couldn't help but said with a smile, "It seems that I led you to ruin."

"Hmph~ Who made you my man? If I don't learn from you, who else can I learn from?" Asuna smiled rather smugly.

"Right."

Nangong Xiao also responded with a smile, poked her head out from behind, kissed Asuna on the cheek, and said.

"Actually, I have also thought about it, but it involves the belief of the elves. Once you want to use the identity of the elf goddess to make a fuss, it will inevitably involve the religious field. I am not interested in this alone.

Well, in the past, because there was no better choice, I considered using the beliefs of the elves to make a fuss, but, once there is a better choice, I always feel that religion should be less involved .

The Great Qin Empire should be a secular country from beginning to end, well, it must be.

I don't want the whole country to be "fairy-like" like the third brother. "

"Third brother? What country is that?"

"I'm talking about hardness ↑↓."

"Oh, it's that one... I understand, that country, um, the hardness ↑↓ or something, I always feel that A Xiao's tone of voice is a bit weird..." Seeing someone make trouble, Asuna couldn't help it He rolled his eyes, but he also said, "Although I don't know much about this kind of national affairs, our empire really doesn't need to use this kind of method now. It is necessary to use the elf goddess to completely control the power of the elves, and this is really enough."

"That's the thing." Nangong Xiao gently pressed Asuna's little head with his chin, and continued, "We now need people, land, land, and money. Expanding to those worlds where there is no danger, everything we need can be met. In this case, there is no need to bring back a hidden danger to ourselves for the sake of not necessarily high interests, so ah, I just said , when we can separate, let the elf goddess leave, as for the elves, what does it have to do with me?"

"Well, the truth is this—by the way, why do you always feel that you don't like that elf goddess, A Xiao?"

"..."

"Ah Xiao?"

Seeing that Nangong Xiao suddenly fell silent, Asuna also looked up suspiciously.

Nangong Xiao blinked, and said, "I do subconsciously dislike the elf goddess... Could it be that the elf goddess also has a high-level natural affinity, so 'same-sex repulsion'?"

"There's another theory?" Asuna was also stunned.

"I don't know, I just don't like that elf goddess. Although I won't target her maliciously because of this, I just don't want to have too much contact with her... Forget it, let's not talk about it, Asuna, let's go for a ride."

"For a ride?"

"Yes, there is a large grassland on the floating island attached to No. [-]. How about we ride Luna and Rico for a 'drive' under the moon?"

"Oh? It looks very interesting~ let's go—"

Asuna's eyes lit up, she quickly got up from Nangong Xiao's arms, pulled Nangong Xiao to run outside, and after running a few steps, Asuna turned over and jumped up, and fell on her back, And Nangong Xiao jumped forward, familiar with the road, and silkily and smoothly picked up Asuna in the air, and then leaped forward on a building in Miyagi with Asuna in his arms.

As a matter of course, in an instant, the guards and female officials of the inner and outer palaces discovered this situation, but almost at the same time, those guards and female officials received Maiev's spiritual voice transmission, telling them that it was their majesty and the imperial concubine. Nonsense, let each post perform its duties, just ignore it.

After letting the security forces in the palace not bother the couple who were messing around like children, Maiev also flashed in the dark with a smile of helplessness, but more of a doting smile...

......

In mid-August of the first year of the Qin Dynasty, Emperor Taichu got married, all nations came to congratulate him, and the world was celebrating. Asuna and the others are all imperial concubines.

On the seventh day of Chengtian's Daqing, Di Xiao and his concubines took a half-moon bath in No. [-] Wanjie City (pitch-black loli).

In September, after the rest, Di Xiao took Empress Changxi and Empress Bauhinia to pay state visits to the Dragon Empire and the Elf Empire. Afterwards, the three parties signed an all-round strategic cooperation agreement in the city at the junction of the Three Kingdoms.

At the end of the same month, Zhao Wang Nangong Wentian used the excuse of concentrating on seeking the Tao after achieving the myth, to play the emperor, and his grandson Nangongxin was passed on.

At the beginning of October, Nangong Xinyu inherited the title of King Zhao in the capital of the Xia Empire, and was greatly loved by Emperor Hong.

Afterwards, Nangong Wentian, who abdicated, retired with his old troops, and handed over Zhao Guo to the new Zhao Wang Xin.

But within a few days, Zhao Wangxin had not left the capital to become a vassal, so he played to the emperor because he was young and ignorant, and asked the emperor to send capable ministers and officials to govern the state of Zhao on his behalf.

The emperor's repeated persuasion was fruitless, so he had to promise, and gave the Xia Empire a palace second only to the imperial palace in terms of size, with three thousand servants and maids each, and all expenses of the palace would be borne by the treasury.There are more precious treasures, countless exercises and pills, and the Royal Library Pavilion, which only the royal family of the Xia Empire can enter, was opened for Zhao Wangxin.

As soon as the news spread, it can be said that the whole world was shocked, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was definitely not the truth, and even many people who hadn't seen through the truth thought that Tian Zihong was crazy.I thought that when the old Zhao retired, Tian Zihong would bully the new Zhao Wangxin, who had not yet become popular, and tried to swallow Zhao Guo in one go, so some people have already begun to expect that the old Zhao Wang who has just returned to retirement will be furious, the father of Zhao Wangxin, Emperor Qin Akatsuki flew into a rage or something.

Regrettably, these expectations are doomed to be impossible, and even Daqin and Daxia are getting closer and closer. In late October, each of the two sides sent three legions to hold a large-scale air fleet on the Sili border of the Daxia Empire. joint exercise.

All kinds of flying battleships covering the sky and covering the sky, stretching for hundreds of miles like covering the sun and the moon, naturally made all the secret operations of the forces terrified.

And after this joint military exercise, the other vassal states in the Xia Empire, which were about to move because of Zhao Wangxin's seizure of power and cutting down their vassals, instantly fell silent and suddenly came to their senses.

This is not Zhao Wangxin's seizure of power and cutting down the vassal at all, but it is likely to be a deal between Tianzihong and Qin Dixiao!

With this conclusion, coupled with the partial military power displayed by Tian Zihong and Qin Dixiao, the rest of the princes in the Xia Empire felt like they were sitting on a needle blanket, but they had no choice.

No way, now it seems that Tianzihong has become popular in terms of conventional combat power, and there is the support of the mysterious Qin Empire outside, and now fools can see that Zhao Wangxin is on Tianzihong's side and supports the reduction of feudal vassals Otherwise, it would not be so proactive, let alone the support of the Qin Empire.

In this case, it is equivalent to the high-end combat power, and Tianzihong has nothing to do. After all, Zhao Wangxin's father, how many strong men Qin Dixiao has under his command is still unknown, but it is just the old Zhao Wang who has returned to hermit. The mythical level is enough to restrict the legendary level combat power of the other princes.

In this case, if you want to rebel... It's difficult to fight against the Qing emperor, you can only fight with conventional power, but with the 'old' wooden airship to fight against those who don't know the real combat power, how outrageous it will be Metal battleships against?

Isn't this courting death?

If you don't resist, you can only wait to die, because anyone with a brain knows that Tian Zihong will never be satisfied with this. Once Zhao Guo is digested, the cutting of the feudal clan will definitely continue!

Of course, among those ambitious princes and kings, there is no shortage of people who are lucky, but after the military exercises between Xia and Qin countries ended, the Royal Shrine of the Xia Empire suddenly publicly expressed its support for Tianzihong's reform!

As soon as this thunderous news came out, before those ambitious people could recover from the ignorance of the collapsed sky, those vassal princes, princes, and princes who were close to the royal family or had a good relationship with the old King Zhao , They all publicly expressed their support for Tianzihong's reform!

All of a sudden, Tian Zihong's general trend came into being in a blink of an eye, and those ambitious people became a "disadvantaged group" in a blink of an eye.

After the general trend was established, Tian Zihong was not in a hurry, completely ignoring those princes and kings who had been restless day and night, and instead consolidated his 'power'.

But Tian Zihong's demeanor made Nangong Xiao couldn't help sighing a little after seeing it, and at the same time confirmed his judgment on Tian Zihong again, that is, he is a pragmatist through and through!

It's all because after referring to the Great Qin Empire and many modern excessive systems, Tian Zihong actually had the courage to play the "limited constitutional monarchy"!

To put it simply, Tianzihong seized military and financial power, shared administrative and personnel appointment and dismissal power with the cabinet and hundreds of officials, and shared the power of governing the country with those princes and nobles who supported him to cut down the vassal. A Senate of the whole people was established to check and balance it. As for the rest of the industrial and commercial reforms, the modernization of the military reform, the refinement of the functions of modern officials, the redefinition of the imperial examination system, the order of grace, and the one-whip law, etc., are gradually advancing. I can see the great talent and unparalleled courage of Tian Zihong...

Chapter 603 Potential and Shape

Under Xia Empire's Tianzihong's series of operations, although the initial effect is not obvious, it only needs a period of stability within the Dragon Race, and it is bound to bring about earth-shaking changes to the entire Dragon Race country, completely becoming a modern country with the essence of imperial power.

However, this transformation process takes a long time, at least every three to five years, so don't even think about actually completing the transformation.Therefore, in the next few years, Tian Zihong's general policy will be biased toward maintaining stability and conservatism, and will not overly participate in national-level conflicts in Huiyao Continent.

And once the Xia Empire initially completes the reform, then with the background and population of the Xia Empire, the power it will unleash will definitely amaze everyone.

As for whether the Xia Empire will threaten the Great Qin Empire after the reforms have fully grown up?

Nangong Xiao is not worried.

This is not because there is an in-law relationship, but because there is no substantial conflict of interest in the future development direction of the two parties.

Nangong Xiao also had a private conversation with Tian Zihong behind closed doors, and she also vaguely sensed that Tian Zihong had some appalling ambitions, for example, to 'rectify' the chaotic situation of all nations in the Huiyao Continent, which is very scary.

Although the 35 counties of the three counties of Zhongzhou in the Great Qin Empire are now on the Huiyao Continent, the nature of Zhongzhou in the Great Qin Empire is more like a public area connecting the heavens and the world, which is very similar to the nature of the cities of the world in other worlds, so As long as Nangong Xiao doesn't recklessly expand the territory of Huiyao Continent, there will be no conflict of interest with Tian Zihong.

As for how far Tianzihong's ambition will go, is it to unify the origin star where the Huiyao Continent is located?Or pick up a group of allies to dominate?

In Nangong Xiao's guess, the latter is more inclined.

It's all because the water in Huiyao Continent is too deep, and no one knows how many old monsters are hiding. Even if Nangong Xiao let Ling Qi pass through the system to investigate the Huiyao World from a higher level, it is also because of Huiyao's strength. The list of survivors is not engraved on the will of the world, so if you want to know, you can only use the mechanized will of the world to investigate the Huiyao Continent step by step, and the Huiyao Continent is too big and the population is too large , If you check step by step, you don't know that it will take until the year of the monkey to complete it.

All in all, just because the water in Huiyao Continent is too deep, Nangong Xiao doesn't think that Tian Zihong would be so unwise to have the delusional idea of ​​dominating the entire Huiyao Continent by relying on the Dragon Clan alone.

And if it's just a scoop of allies to run rampant, it's not difficult if they dominate like the Spring and Autumn Period of the Celestial Dynasty.

Besides, this kind of hegemony will not result in turning enemies against allies. After all, it is too difficult, even close to impossible, for the dragon race to dominate, or to coerce other races.

However, if you add the Great Qin Empire and the Elven Empire, which has also begun to reform and strengthen itself, it will be different.

Speaking of the Elf Empire, in fact, the transliteration of the real name should be called "Nuoya Empire", which means "holy" in the Huiyao Elven language, but for the convenience of calling, the world calls it the Elf Empire, just like the Xia of the Dragon Race. The empire, the world also often referred to as the Dragon Empire.

The current emperor of the Elven Empire, Lilia's father - Tuolu Sunstrider, after meeting with Nangong Xiao, he understood why the presence of the elves in the Huiyao Continent was insufficient in recent years, all because of this Father-in-law is a conservative monarch, and even an artist who likes to hide at home and enjoy himself.

Emotional Lilia's passion for art is hereditary.

The difference is that Tolu Sunstrider played music, but Lilia took the road of painting.

What made Nangong Xiao even more speechless was that at the family banquet after the official meeting between the emperors of the two countries, the father-in-law actually picked up an electric guitar and soloed a piece of electronic rock music. The mother—Marlena Sunstrider even clapped her hands and clapped her hands and yelled to call. Nangong Xiao was dumbfounded watching that scene, and Lilia covered her face and was speechless.

Although the elf emperor's father-in-law who plays music seems to be out of tune, and is very obsessed with the modern musical instruments obtained through the zero-thousand-world city of Dawn City, he is also a qualified monarch, at least in terms of decisively marrying Lilia , this father-in-law does not lack the ability to make decisions on the fly, and at the same time, the elf empire has been peaceful and peaceful for nearly a hundred years, and the national power has gradually improved, which shows that this father-in-law does not lack the ability to govern the country.

But it’s also true, considering that the lifespan of the elves is thousands of years, even if they are not good at things, they can be honed into a professional through time, not to mention that this father-in-law has been in power for nearly a hundred years, and his age is more than 3000 years old. up.

Of course, these can’t explain anything. What really made Nangong Xiao feel that this father-in-law is the king of success is that this father-in-law took action to limit the speed at which various modern thinking and cultures of the Central Province of the Great Qin Empire flowed into the territory of the Elf Empire. The ruling elites who rejected the Elf Empire went to study everything in the Central Province of the Great Qin Empire, and even thought that good policies and culture would be accepted, that is, when they were promoted within the Elf Empire, the pace was very slow, like a pawn, moving forward step by step Arch, for fear of causing a big problem if you are not careful.

Such a cautious and cautious style is completely different from the somewhat aggressive style of the dragon-human emperor Tian Zihong.

However, for an old empire with no aggressive intentions, it really needs a cautious and conservative king like Tolu Sunstrider.

Of course, it doesn't mean that reformers with an adventurous spirit like Tianzihong of the dragon race are not good, it's just that the national conditions are different and the required monarchs have different personalities.

The dragon race is in a dangerous situation where there will be civil strife, so it needs an enterprising monarch like Tian Zihong who is courageous and dares to take risks.

As for the elves, because of their long lifespan, the whole race is extraordinarily peaceful to put it bluntly, and the worst is that they are not enterprising.Although there are also fights for power and profit, but the intensity is very low, so on the whole, the Elven Empire is really a non-aggressive empire.

The national character is like this, it is difficult for the monarch to forge ahead, and there is no need for a pioneering monarch. Perhaps this is the reason why the previous Elf Emperor passed the throne to Tuolu Sunstrider.

Although the elf empire still has little sense of existence in the wave of reforms in Huiyao Continent because of its national character, Tuolu Sunstrider is also very clear that other countries have become stronger due to reforms. Once the elves do not keep up, they will be destroyed by the times one day Elimination, so the elf empire must also change, but the pace of change is relatively slow.

In this regard, Nangong Xiao also has a bottom line in his heart, and he will not say anything more. After all, it is the most basic etiquette not to interfere in the internal affairs of allies.However, out of a calm attitude, Nangong Xiao also opened up the arms trade to the Elf Empire and the Dragon Empire.

Tuolu Sunstrider also readily accepted, and referred to the new army systems of the Dragon Empire and the Great Qin Empire, and established his new army of elves.

It can be regarded as officially stepping into the big wave of military reforms in the Huiyao Continent.

What will happen to the Elven Empire in the future is not what Nangong Xiao should worry about or look forward to. During the period when Nangong Xiao successively paid state visits to the Dragon Empire and the Elven Empire, and came up with a tripartite alliance agreement, the borders of the Stantel Kingdom were completely chaotic. Woke up.

The main reason is that King Stantel felt that he was doing well again, and took the initiative to attack. Using the advanced warships and magic weapons purchased from the Great Qin Empire, he went through more than ten battles and successfully ate up sixteen elite legions from the orc side. Leng Shi repelled the orcs for hundreds of kilometers and recovered three provinces, but his own casualties were only more than [-], most of which were minor injuries.

This shows how strong the fighting power of the Kingdom of Stentel is after the "krypton gold".

Of course, this cannot be blamed on the Beastmen's frontline army. After all, the Beastmen's Southern Expedition Marshal Dunn Sick has played countless times in the imperial court of the Beastman Empire, hoping to follow the example of the Great Qin Empire and the Kingdom of Stantel to train new troops and purchase new warships on a large scale In addition to magic weapons, we must also go all out to explore and develop new-generation battlefield weapons, etc. Unfortunately, they were all rejected by the high-level officials of the royal court, which led to Dunn Sik to use his own strength to compile and train. How can the new army, relying on its own limited private soldiers and financial resources, be able to match the power of the whole country, King Stantel?

Therefore, the failure of the orcs' Southern Expedition was basically doomed.

But what Dun Sick didn't expect was that King Stantel didn't drive the orcs back to Mobei in one go, but stopped after recovering two or three provinces.

If it is consolidating the results of the battle, it seems to be checked and balanced, so that it is unable to continue to expand the results of the battle.

Although I don't know what the situation is, the orcs can be considered to have a chance to breathe.

It's just that what made Duan Sike's mood extremely complicated was that what he ushered in was not only the high-level orc royal court's attention to the new generation war, but also a "cauldron" that was not black.
