I really don't want to be a disaster

Although Nie Hongxiu was puzzled, he didn't ask any further questions, and obediently floated away through the wall to carry out the task.

People don't talk harshly much, which has always been Nie Hongxiu's usual style.

Yi Lin operated the free method, arranged several spells on the barrel to keep warm, then closed her eyes, seemingly falling into a deep sleep, but actually entered the spiritual sea in the hub.

In the past, the soul avatar accumulated three years of energy, and Yi Lin exhausted it in one breath when she broke through the golden core. Now, on the broken throne, the soul avatar can only be "charged" again, and it is still not fully charged.

While Yi Lin is busy mentally, her body can also rest, killing two birds with one stone.

The fingertips were shining, and Yi Lin continued to conquer the huge "Throne" writing project. From time to time, Yi Lin talked to Green on the coconut tree.

Although Green didn't like him most of the time, getting information was a waste of money. Maybe when this boss was annoyed, he would say a few words of precious information?

But today, Green didn't open his eyes from the beginning to the end, and a big bubble on the bat's nose suddenly expanded and deflated, which made Yi Lin have the urge to pierce it with a needle.

……

At night.

Yi Lin woke up from the bathtub, and before her junior sister returned, Yi Lin sneaked out of the palace again and went for a stroll around the streets of Qingdu.

He deliberately paid attention to many inconspicuous corners. In Qingdu, Yi Lin did not find any activity traces of the Black Lotus Seal, that is, the Bodhisattva Building.

"It seems that the scope of activities of the Bodhisattva House is mainly in the barren south area. After all, this is Qingdu, the capital of the Daqian Dynasty. They dare not be so presumptuous."

When arriving in Qingdu that day,

Yi Lin noticed that the Wanxiang Building in Qingdu was closed for rectification.

There is no such thing as "anti-pornography" in this world. Regardless of whether it is literary prostitution or military prostitution, in the Daqian dynasty, they all obtained a business license to prostitute in a reasonable and legal manner.

Legal whoring is naturally not shut down because of illegal practice.

The more likely reason is that the Green Luan Tree behind Wanxiang Tower, a chain of entertainment venues and intelligence organizations all over Dongsheng Shenzhou, sensed that the rumors were wrong, and withdrew from Qingdu early, choosing to settle down in the troubled times.

If not, with Yi Lin's honorable status of holding the Heavenly Fragrance Order, even if she can't go whoring for free, it is still not a problem to buy some secret information.

"It would be great if I could find a way to contact the Qingluan tree."

Without a source of information, Yi Lin could only be honest and investigate by herself, which was extremely hard work.

Taking a look at the yellow seal on the door of Wanxianglou, Yi Lin sighed and walked around to the next street to buy buns.

It was still the "You Bao is Big" steamed stuffed bun shop, the unique taste made Yi Lin know the taste.

As for the source of the money, Yi Lin wasn't worried at all, it was unfair anyway.

In front of the "You Bao Nai Da" steamed stuffed bun shop, the business is still booming, Yi Lin is still the same as last time, secretly opened it like a shadow, inserted it in front, dropped the silver, and left after buying.

"Hey, little brother, go slowly!"

The owner of the steamed stuffed bun shop is an old man who looks like he is old, but his waist is straight. While patting the flour on his hands, he deliberately walked out from behind the counter and said goodbye to Yi Lin who was about to leave warmly. He seemed to recognize the returning customer.

Yi Lin turned her head in surprise, looked at the smiling bun shop owner, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but soon, Yi Lin nodded at the bun shop owner and disappeared into the crowd.

After Yi Lin left.

Behind the old man, the old woman who was kneading the dough vigorously laughed strangely in a hoarse voice: "Is there something wrong?"

The old man glared at the old woman: "Smelly lady, rub your face quickly, haven't you seen so many guest officials waiting!"

When the old woman heard the words, she immediately kept her mouth shut.

After a while,

A girl with a flushed face was bouncing around and carrying a light basket, and returned to the shop through the back door.

"Father, mother, Xiu'er is back!"

When the old man and old woman turned their heads back, their eyes were kind, and their squinted eyes showed undisguised pampering, the corners of their eyes and the wrinkles on their faces deepened a little.

The old woman took the basket from Xiu'er with her experienced hands full of sticky wet flour, and complained: "You girl, you don't listen to what you say, and you don't listen to it. They ran away from the temple, and those bald donkeys looked at each other kindly and kindly, but they didn't know what bad thoughts were hiding in their hearts, and they didn't know what good things were there!"

The old man echoed: "Yes, yes, bald, there are no good things!"

"What are you talking about!" Xiu'er knew a long time ago that her adoptive parents had always disliked the monk. Although Xiu'er was helpless, she didn't think of a way to correct their three views. She could only explain: "Brother Xiaohu Not an ordinary monk?"

"Oh? Then what kind of monk is he?"

"I've said it all, Brother Xiao Hu is Xiu'er's playmate in the same village, he is not a bad person! I know who Brother Xiao Hu is best!" Xiu'er rolled up her sleeves while talking, ignoring the dirt on the stove. Xi, stepped forward to help: "Xiu'er kneaded your dough for you~ Don't be angry!"

"All right, all right, you won't listen!" The old woman returned to the stove and rubbed the lump of noodles vigorously. While rubbing, the old woman said, "Xiu'er, last time I taught you how to use it for my mother. Do you still remember the 'Ben Lei kneading technique'? The focus is on breath..."

"Mother, hee hee, you don't know, when Xiu'er was giving vegetarian bags to the monks today, Brother Xiao Hu actually came out to say thank you to Xiu'er! Brother Xiao Hu is finally willing to talk to Xiu'er!"

"Hmph, concentrate!" The old woman reprimanded with a serious face.

"Got it!" Xiu'er stuck out her tongue, closed her eyes, and stared intently at the dough on the stove.

She has long thought that this kneading technique is very complicated. The old couple said that this is an ancestral kneading technique that cannot be learned elsewhere.But whenever she kneads the dough according to the method her step-mother said, her body feels hot, warm, and a little bit cool, so comfortable.

……

……

Yi Lin returned to Yingxue Pavilion with several generations of steaming steamed buns.

Along the way, he thought about the two old men at the bun shop.

After stepping through the threshold, Yi Lin shook her head and smiled: "This Qingdu is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."

Back to Yingxue Pavilion,

Brother Jian was still on the eaves, maintaining the posture when Yi Lin left, with his hands behind his back facing the wind, the clouds were calm and the wind was light.

His station seemed to last for a day.

Yi Lin asked Senior Brother Jian to eat steamed buns, Senior Brother Jian had already bigu, so he could eat it or not.

But when Yi Lin took a bite, the overflowing fragrance was so fragrant that Brother Jian couldn't help but waft down.

While the two senior brothers were eating steamed buns, the eldest princess Xia Xiaoman came back from outside in a hurry.

"Come on, Junior Sister, it's just in time for me to eat steamed stuffed buns, it's still hot in that room."

Yi Lin shook the bun in her hand towards her junior sister.

But Xia Xiaoman didn't even look at the buns, lowered his head and frowned, and replied casually: "You guys eat, Xiaoman has no appetite."

Saying that, Xia Xiaoman hid in the boudoir.

Brother Jian and Yi Lin looked at each other, and they both saw shock in each other's eyes.

This bun, the junior sister usually rushes to eat it, and if she doesn't give it to her, she can draw her sword eagerly and freeze a few.

But today, the junior sister is so abnormal, there must be something strange in it.

Nie Hongxiu's figure was indistinct, followed Xia Xiaoman behind, and returned to Yi Lin's side.

Chapter 918 The Xia family has a daughter and vows to defend the country

Xia Xiaoman attended the national meeting.

After listening, he looked worried.

Although Yi Lin could roughly deduce from Xia Xiaoman's reaction what the cause of her annoyance was, in order to be more clear, he still asked Nie Hongxiu.

Nie Hongxiu was able to do things well, eavesdropped on the sidelines, and told the young master the content of the meeting concisely.

"I see."

All in all, it was because of the chaos of war.

Now within the Dagan Dynasty, the four vassal kings raised their troops in four directions and pushed towards Qingdu.

At this moment, the Daqian Dynasty is like a helpless little sheep, surrounded by four vassal kings, pushed flat with heavy troops, and is in danger.

Today's early dynasty is talking about the Eastern Front.

King Zhudong was in the rear, but the battle line was at the forefront, and he had already reached Lumen Pass five hundred miles away.

Lumen Pass is a dangerous city.

Lumenguan is backed by two north-south mountain ranges in Dongshengshenzhou - Dongzhou Mountain and Huaishan Mountain.

The terrain of the two mountains is dangerous, running through the north and the south, endlessly.

Speaking of which, when they arrived at the coast of the East China Sea from Qingdu four years ago, they even crossed Dongzhou Mountain.

It's just that they flew directly from the top of the mountain back then, and didn't personally experience the danger of this mountain.

The Eastern Zhou Mountain is connected with the Huaishan Mountain, and the east side is steep with cliffs.

In the direction of the East China Sea, looking at the direction of Dongzhou Mountain and Huaishan Mountain, it looks like a high wall, isolating the eastern plain and Qingdu from inside and outside the mountain wall.

If you follow the normal marching route, if you want to easily cross the "Eastern Zhoushan and Huaishan" natural barriers, you must pass through the Lumen Pass and walk through the canyon at the junction of the two mountains.

Once the Lumen Pass is occupied by the rebels, there will be a plain area after the "Eastern Zhou Mountain and Huai Mountain". The army stationed in the Eastern King will directly enter the hinterland of Dagan without any hindrance.

Lumenguan is now in a very embarrassing situation.

[-]. The terrain in front of Lumen Pass, except for a moat, has no other terrain that can help the defense;

Second, the natural danger behind it means that reinforcements cannot enter the Lumen Pass from the hinterland of Dagan in an endless stream, and the flow limit is there.

In the morning court this morning, there were many arguments.

The voices of the courtiers were roughly divided into two factions:

One of the factions suggested defending the Lumen Pass at all costs, because the Lumen Pass is the facade of the border between the hinterland and the eastern plains. Once the Lumen Pass is breached, the morale of the army will be demoralized, and it can be said that it will do no harm to the subsequent rebel war. One profit.

The other faction is to implement the people-oriented policy. They believe that the current Dagan Dynasty has four lines of troops, the hinterland is empty, and its military strength is far inferior to that of the four vassal kings. Therefore, in consideration of preserving strength, it is better to voluntarily abandon Lumen. Pass, set up camp behind the canyon and retreated, defending the Tianguan, keeping the millions of troops stationed in Dongwang from the natural danger.

The concepts of the two factions, in summary, seem to be sticking to each other, but the ways of guarding are somewhat different. One is the "hard" guard who wants to save face rather than obey, and the other is "counsel" who shrinks his neck and weighs the pros and cons Shou.It seems that the combat concepts of the two factions have their own advantages.

Therefore, in today's court, the ministers of the two factions were arguing fiercely.If there is a backbone here, and it is easy to come to a conclusion and end the quarrel, then that's all.The problem is that there is no king in the court at present, only the empress dowager assists the government behind her, and in the final analysis, she is still not on the stage.

The auxiliary government belongs to the auxiliary government. Even if the empress dowager has a noble status, she must not openly interfere in the government affairs in the court as a mere daughter.

"Auxiliary" and "decision" are two different things.

……

After Nie Hongxiu told the young master about the quarrel at the meeting, she went back to Lingju to rest.

After wandering outside for a long time, it was rare for her to come out, and she was satisfied in her heart.

"Brother, what do you think?"

Jian Nanchun watched curiously as a palm-sized "elf" disappeared beside Yi Lin, and he didn't ask any further questions.

There are demons, demons, and spirits in the world. It seems nothing strange that Junior Brother Lin Yi raises some weird things to meet his daily needs.

People and people's hobbies cannot be generalized.

Jian Nanchun didn't care about the rise and fall of the Dagan Dynasty, what he cared about was Junior Sister Xia Xiaoman.

Between the same door, it should be so.

"Senior Brother Jian is right," Yi Lin sighed softly, "The crux of the Daqian Dynasty is that there is no strong Mingjun who can suppress all Xiaoxiao."

"Yes." Jian Nanchun nodded: "It's just that Emperor Xia Yuan died too early, and he didn't catch up with the birth of a true son."

He agreed with Lin Yi's statement.

After all, this is something for all to see.

Throughout the 5000-year history, the nine dynasties in the past, when they fell, were all destroyed in the hands of a mediocre monarch, and it has always been like this.

Regarding Jian Nanchun's emotion, Yi Lin did not respond.

Jian Nanchun continued to count on his fingers: "If Xia Jisheng changed positions, then among the men of Xia's blood who are still alive today, there will be only the first prince, the second prince, and the king of Zhennan Xia Xingchen. Absolutely, if you can live for a few more years, the next great leader should be among them."

Yi Lin thought for a while, then turned her head and asked, "Is it possible that one of the three princesses will become the emperor?"

"Aha?" Jian Nanchun was counting the emperor with his fingers. When he heard this, he stared and sneered, as if he had heard a big joke: "Since ancient times, Dongsheng Shenzhou has been from other countries except for the daughter of the neighboring continent. There is no precedent for a woman to be an emperor. Uh, the Qijue Empress does not count. She can be called an "Emperor" because she is invincible in the world and is an "Emperor of People" rather than an "Emperor of a Country". All the officials in the court can accept it, and the people of the world can't accept it."

"Is it a deep-rooted concept..."

Yi Lin fell into deep thought, muttering to herself, no one knew what he was thinking at the moment.

……

By evening.

Although Xia Xiaoman has already bigu, he can eat it or not.But the habit imprinted in her soul made her stomach growl and she walked out of the room.
