With his hands behind his back, he ate a melon, and the country's fortune soared.

Ning Huaiyu kept his hands on the ground, swaying all over like a stray dog ​​and raising his head.

After his eyes flashed bright red, he could see clearly the woman who was leading the group.

The woman was wearing dark red armor, holding two swords with blood dripping from her cheeks. Behind her were hundreds of soldiers wearing the same red armor.

Ning Huaiyu knew Xia Gou was coming as soon as he saw the style and color of the armor. "Hahahaha," he stood up with a twisted laugh.

The golden dragon on the black dragon robe was stained with blood. Ning Huaiyu stopped shaking and his old face was full of disgrace. He pointed at Xiao Yan and said, "Xia Gou is shameless. I said that Ning Yuanchen, the rebellious son, could never return to Xiliang alive. It turns out that Xia Gou is cunning."

Xiao Yan pulled the corner of her mouth, slowly put the two swords behind her back, reached out to take the bright yellow scroll handed over by her subordinates, and threw it to Ning Huaiyu's feet, "Please ask the King of Xiliang to issue an order to pass the throne to the crown prince Ning Yuanchen."

"You're dreaming," Ning Huaiyu finally straightened his spine, "Xia Gou, let me tell you, I still have your queen mother's 300,000 soldiers in my hands, aren't you afraid?"

"Oh," Xiao Yan nodded in a frivolous manner, "You mean the 300,000 troops under Xiao Zhengyuan's command," she scratched her ears in a sly manner, "It's a pity that we only recovered about 200,000 troops, and the remaining stubborn ones will be kept for the time being. After all, we will need more people to build the city wall of Xizhou County in Daxia in the future."

Ning Huaiyu's eyes widened. What does Daxia Xizhou County mean? This bitch...

He finally realized something, his pupils suddenly shrank and his face was filled with hatred, "Bitch, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Ah, didn't I tell you?"

Xiao Yan grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. The blood on her face looked even more red against the orange-red sunset clouds. She looked terrifying and hateful. "When Ning Yuanchen becomes the Queen of Xiliang, he will voluntarily submit to Daxia. In the future, Xiliang will become the Xizhou Prefecture of Daxia. Daxia will build a wall between Xizhou and the endless sea of ​​sand to resist the desert wind and foreign enemies."

"Arabian Nights," Ning Huaiyu mocked, "You Xia dogs are really despicable and shameless. Get out, get out of my palace, get out of my Xiliang, get out, woo woo..."

Ning Huaiyu's insults were completely blocked by rags from Xiao Yan's men.

Xiao Yan walked slowly towards Ning Huaiyu with square steps, and patted the old man's shoulder in a very comforting way, "Don't worry, I won't let you die. I will let you watch how the people of Xiliang live a prosperous life under the governance of my Great Xia."

She laughed loudly, walked past the incompetent and furious old man Ning, walked towards Ning Yuanchen and pulled out the hidden weapon from his back, "Someone, send Ning Yuanchen to his mother."

"Yes."

At the same time, Ma Dequan, who was guarding outside the Xiliang Palace, received an urgent letter from the capital, and he hurriedly opened the letter.

The more I look, the wider my eyes become, and the more my blood boils.

"Someone," he said, his voice breaking due to his excitement, "go and call General Lin Zhen and Zhizi over."

"Yes."

After Lin Zhen and Lin Zhi read the letter, they were also shocked and speechless. Ma Dequan looked at the boy who had grown a lot taller, "Zhi'er, memorize the methods of making steel and cement."

"Yes," Lin Zhi looked at Ma Dequan with sparkling eyes. After a cup of tea, he had memorized the two recipes clearly.

Ma Dequan took the letter, took out a tinder and lit it.

The three of them looked at each other and couldn't help but smile. Ma Dequan paced back and forth in the tent with his fists clenched. He had thousands of words in his heart, but he could only mutter, "Daxia, Daxia, Daxia..."

Seven days later, Emperor Mingde received a secret report from Xiliang that Ning Yuanchen had successfully ascended the throne.

Moreover, Ma Dequan and others have found two Xiliang iron mines and started to make steel.

At the same time, the Lin Zhen brothers took their confidants to test the cement method, while Xiao Yan led some Daxia soldiers and Xiliang people to explore the vast sea of ​​sand.

When Emperor Mingde received this exciting news, he was so happy that he couldn't express it in words. This winter, snow disasters occurred everywhere, although he and the queen had made preparations early.

But natural disasters are merciless, and the casualties and losses everywhere are still staggering, causing him and the queen to feel heavy-hearted these days.

Now the news from Xiliang finally relieved a lot of the heaviness in his heart, and he came to Fengqi Palace excitedly.

Seeing the queen who had also received the news, the two of them looked at each other and understood each other's feelings without saying a word.

Qianqian lay lazily on her sister Hua's back, her big eyes rolling around, looking at her mother and then at her father.

[Tsk tsk tsk, what is a stringy look? That's it. Sigh.] She thought of her father's upcoming draft, and her heart felt a little tight. [This evil old society, if it were my monogamous society, we would definitely be a happy family of four.]

The empress felt a little embarrassed and turned her eyes away. Emperor Mingde felt a little regretful but quickly adjusted his mood, strode towards Dahua, and picked up Qianqian from her back.

"Girl, what if Sister Hua stops growing taller because of you?"

Da Hua blushed when she heard her father calling her Sister Hua. She looked up and said crisply, "Money is not heavy at all. It's much lighter than the stone pillars I practice martial arts on."

"Forehead……"

Emperor Mingde recalled watching Dahua practice martial arts the day before, as she danced with two stone pillars that were not much shorter than her with great vigor.

That day, after Dahua had practiced well, he secretly tried it. It was difficult for a big man like him to lift a stone block, let alone use it to practice martial arts.

From that day on, Emperor Mingde had a clearer understanding of Dahua's strength.

His three children are all lucky stars of Daxia.

"Hahahaha, good." Emperor Mingde put down the money and picked up Dahua. "Our sister Hua wants to be a female general who defends the country like your aunt in the future."

"Ah."

Dahua's face flushed, her eyes brightened, and she blurted out, "In the future, Dahua will guard the country's borders for Qianqian."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Emperor Mingde and Empress were touched by Sister Hua's bold words and were very pleased...

After lunch, the family of four asked Jiang Mingzhu to help them disguise themselves and leave the palace, and went to the Imperial College together.

Emperor Mingde and the Empress were very curious about Zhang Junmo's retractable dagger. Qianqian, who had been detained in the palace for a long time, finally left the palace, his little face flushed with excitement.

[Wow, Tongzi, it's not easy. We can finally go out of the palace and eat melons. We don't have to eat the bloody passionate scenes of eunuchs and palace maids anymore. She loves him, he loves him, he doesn't love her, and she loves her.]

What?

The queen frowned tightly and looked at Emperor Mingde with a look of despair.

Emperor Mingde sighed and turned his eyes to Sister Hua. As expected, Sister Hua was tilting her little head, which had become rounder, and was counting on her fingers to carefully analyze the love-hate relationship between the eunuch and the palace maid...

"Ahem," Emperor Mingde interrupted Dahua with a dry cough, "Sister Hua, what do you want to eat? There are many snack shops and food stalls around the Imperial College."

The Queen looked at Emperor Mingde with some curiosity, "How did Your Majesty know?"

Emperor Mingde smiled proudly, "I am the emperor, what don't I know?"

He raised his head as he spoke, and Dahua immediately clapped his hands in approval, "Father is the best."

"Haha, Sister Hua, be good. Tell Father what you want to eat."

Xiao Qianqian...

[Why am I always the one who gets hurt, wuwuwu, fried chicken legs, meatballs, braised pig's trotters, braised pork elbows, wuwuwuwu...]

[Little Princess,] The system felt sorry for her and immediately diverted her attention, [There is a big news in the Imperial College, do you want to hear it?]
