Lu Ziyou looked at Shen Yu with admiration. Big brother was right. It turned out that beautiful women all have thorns! He liked it!

Although on the surface he is the prince of Yuncheng, it is only because his eldest brother refused to accept the title that his father reluctantly let him take it first...so he seldom regards himself as a prince, but at this moment he also understands that what Shen Yu said is the truth.

A few years ago in the study, he heard his father and eldest brother complaining that the old bald man in Youcheng was a big idiot who was deceived by a woman!

Lu Feifeng's face was also extremely pale. He understood that what Shen Yu said was true, but he didn't expect that Youcheng had been eroded to such an extent? He and his father knew it, and they had been trying their best to fight against the noble family, but no one had ever put these data so clearly in front of them. If things continued to develop like this... Could it be that the person behind the noble family was really the emperor of Luocheng?

"Princess Zhuo, we in Luocheng have absolutely no such intention!" Seeing that Lu Feifeng seemed to be convinced, the eldest prince immediately came out to explain. As far as he knew, his father had always taken good care of Prince Zhuo, so how could he suppress him? Moreover, his father had never sent anyone to take over the affairs of Zhuocheng. He was a little unhappy and said, "Princess Zhuo, what you said is a bit biased..."

Shen Yu smiled and said indifferently, "I don't care, I'm just making an analogy... Anyway, we in Zhuo City have always solved our own problems, I'm just worried about them... Anyway, the current situation is like this. Although your three cities all grow food, they mainly rely on imports from Jiangnan. Now it seems that everything is fine, but what if there is a natural disaster? What if the grain harvest in Jiangnan fails?"

"Is the princess suggesting that we all start farming now?" Lu Ziyou asked.

Lu Chuchen looked up at the map and frowned, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be related to the reports just now, right?" He looked at Shen Yu, his eyes were more cautious than ever before. This was his attitude towards his opponents, "And I believe... Princess Zhuo should have more than just the analysis of Youcheng, right?"

Shen Yu smiled and said, "Guess?"

"Ah? Princess Zhuo, is there anything from our Yuncheng? Can you show it to me?" Lu Ziyou didn't expect that even his own family had it. He wanted to see it! !

Fu Yunxiu looked at me like I was a fool and said, "Get lost!"

Ye Muan, Xu Yaying, the second princess, and the women of the Meng family, who had not dared to speak, also looked at Shen Yu with admiration, feeling particularly proud of her. She had brought honor to us women/princesses!!

Lu Yingxing kept his eyes on his wife, with a burning warmth hidden in his eyes. Seeing her arrogantly fighting for him, this goddess who finally came down to earth for him was extremely alluring.

"You misunderstood. When I was analyzing Zhuocheng, I accidentally discovered that the checkpoint of Youcheng actually has a limit on the amount of grain we can purchase each year? But there is no limit on the checkpoint connecting to Licheng. So out of curiosity, I asked someone to find out about it. Or maybe I could take this opportunity to help me clear up my confusion, Master Lu?" Shen Yu smiled innocently.

Lu Feifeng is now like a kite being pulled by a string. He finally understands that today's game is aimed at him, but why?

"Prince Zhuo, Princess Zhuo, we had no choice in some of the things that happened in the past... but I believe that just based on these cooperation proposals, it is enough to make father want to talk to you in person. Do we have this opportunity? Invite you to gather in Youcheng?" Lu Feifeng knew very well that the purpose of Shen Yu throwing these things out was to make him speak and help them return to Zhuocheng.

Those present were not fools, and they all spoke up and invited them to go to the fiefdom.

Shen Yu was very satisfied with their approach, so he also said a few words about the possible problems in each city. Of course, he only mentioned them briefly and did not target the various data in the report on Youcheng. However, he did bring up the possibility of cooperation among the five cities in the end.

"Your Highness, Princess, the time agreed upon with the Ye Mansion has arrived." Everyone was talking excitedly when Wu Chen came in to report, successfully earning everyone's glares.

Lu Yingxing took Shen Yu's hand, stood up and apologized, "Let's stop here today. The princess and I are going to a banquet..."

After saying that, they left without looking back. Everyone looked at their disappearing figures with a sense of regret, including Xue Yanlei who had not spoken a word the whole time.

On the way back home, Duke Dingguo also noticed that his little grandson was absent-minded, so he asked, "How much did you understand of what they just said?"

Xue Yanlei was raised by his grandfather since he was a child. His family were all military generals, but he did not inherit his father's bravery and fighting skills. However, he showed an extraordinary passion for yellowed ancient books and ink-scented volumes since he was a child.

Whenever his father wielded a spear in the courtyard, his little figure would always sit quietly by the side, reading a book with his head down. His grandfather did not stop him. By the age of seven, he had read all the books in the family, from history books to poetry, from military strategies to philosophy, and gradually formed his own way of thinking and values.

He was the only one who could enter and leave his grandfather's study freely, and he was never tabooed to be present at every meeting, so he knew that the emperor's uncle was only friendly to Prince Zhuo on the surface...

So he thought for a moment and answered truthfully, "Grandfather, Lei'er also agrees with what Princess Zhuo said. They are just trying to save themselves. Military books often say that victory and defeat are common in the military. Any means are allowed on the battlefield. Everyone depends on their own abilities. The princess threw out the bait today, and the princes of each city don't have to bite it. Lei'er thinks that the princess is frank and uses an open strategy..." Then he said with a little envy, "The princess is also a good wife. With her help, Prince Zhuo will definitely be a lot more relaxed."

Duke Dingguo stroked his little grandson's head with a smile, knowing what he was thinking. "Your mother is also a good wife. You should remember that too much is as bad as too little. Our Duke Dingguo Mansion does not need a powerful mistress..."

"Yes..." In fact, Xue Yanlei still liked his mother very much, but he admired Princess Zhuo more, a mother who could stand shoulder to shoulder with her husband.

Many people were puzzled by the fact that the prince of Duke Dingguo's mansion married a capricious and crybaby wife. Apart from the fact that the two had been engaged since childhood, more importantly, the Xue family understood the truth that everything that goes up must come down. Having their eldest daughter-in-law causing trouble from time to time made their family appear less "perfect".

He himself is the Duke of Dingguo, his daughter is the Queen, his eldest son is the commander of the imperial guards, his second son is the commander of the garrison, and the four heroes of his family all hold high positions of power. The eldest prince includes his grandfather, and even their little grandson is a genius... It's too eye-catching.

On the other side, since entering the carriage, Lu Yingxing has been holding his wife tightly in his arms, face to face, whispering "Yu'er Yu'er..."

Shen Yu knew that he was so moved by her that he had been holding back from pushing him away. After all, who wouldn't want a response from the other party after making an effort?

After someone was moved, he finally asked, "Is it really the Ghost City?"

Shen Yu lazily leaned in his arms, playing with his jet-black hair, "Well, Tian'er was already three years old at the time, and he could remember things a long time ago. He heard that the people coming over there were princes from various cities, so he couldn't help but run to confess to me..."

Alas! She really didn't expect that Yu Tian was actually Lu Feifeng's younger brother! !
