With a million soldiers, the empress begged me not to rebel

When Princess Mingyue heard this, she immediately smiled and threw herself into the queen's arms like a happy little bird, acting coquettishly.

The queen touched her head lovingly, thinking secretly in her heart.

This time, I must carefully examine Lu Yan to see if he is not worthy of my daughter.

Humph, then don’t blame her for breaking up the couple!

At this moment, a scout came to report:

"Report—Shannan Prefecture will soon host the World Games, inviting all nations to participate!"

When Princess Mingyue heard this, her eyes lit up immediately. She excitedly took the queen's hand and said:

"Mother, I want to go! I want to go to Shannan Prefecture!"

The queen looked at her daughter's excitement and felt a little helpless.

When the queen told the king that Princess Mingyue wanted to go to Shannan Prefecture to participate in the sports meeting, the king almost got so angry that his beard stood out.

"What? She's going to Shannan Prefecture? Is she crazy? Wasn't it enough that she was kidnapped by that brat Lu Yan last time? Now she's going to deliver herself to him this time? No, absolutely not!"

The queen advised:

"Your Majesty, look at the princess, she's lost her appetite. This lovesickness isn't a solution. Why not just let her go? Maybe we can take this opportunity to make Lu Yan feel good about the princess?"

The king was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.

"Good impression? I think it's more like he's going to eat her up completely! With her silly look, she won't even know how Lu Yan sold her out!"

The queen continued to persuade:

"Your Majesty, don't worry. This time I will send someone to secretly protect the princess and will not let anything happen to her."

The king still refused to give in.

"That won't work! What if she really gets kidnapped by that brat Lu Yan?"

Princess Mingyue also came to plead, pulling the king's sleeve and coquettishly saying:

"Father, please let me go. I beg you! I promise I will be obedient this time and won't cause any trouble again."

The king looked at his daughter's pitiful appearance and finally softened his heart.

He sighed and said helplessly:

"Alas, there's really nothing I can do about you! Go ahead, go ahead, but if you dare to do the same thing as last time, I'll show you how I'll deal with you!"

When Princess Mingyue heard this, she jumped for joy.

"Thank you, Father! Long live Father!"

The King of Beixiang looked at his daughter's joyful expression, but his heart was filled with worry.

He always felt that letting his daughter go to Shannan Prefecture this time was like letting a sheep walk into a tiger's mouth, and he didn't know what would happen.

Therefore, the King of Beixiang urgently summoned Chu Wen and gave him a warning:

"Lord Chu, when the princess goes to Shannan Prefecture this time, you must protect her in secret. Don't let her get hurt, and don't let Lu Yan take advantage of her! Do you understand?"

Chu Wen nodded in agreement with a serious face.

"Your Majesty, rest assured. I will do my utmost to protect the princess's safety."

……

In just half a month, nearly one million tourists flocked to Shannan Prefecture.

The inn was packed and it was hard to find a seat. Even the woods outside the city were filled with tents.

Camping equipment manufactured in Shannan, including tents, sleeping bags, moisture-proof mats, lighting, cooking utensils, etc., have all made a lot of money.

Especially the tents made of a special material called "Tiancan Silk" produced locally in Shannan.

The supply is even insufficient to meet the demand, the price has been soaring, but it is still sold out.

The restaurants and eateries were bustling with people, the owners were grinning from ear to ear and were busy as a bee.

The goods in each store were sold out, and the owners were counting the money.

At the same time, he quickly sent people to purchase goods, fearing that he would miss this once-in-a-lifetime business opportunity.

Even the vendors on the roadside made a lot of money, and their faces were all smiling like flowers!

Not counting other economic growth, advertising alone brought Shannan Prefecture millions of taels of revenue.

Ever since Shannan Prefecture decided to host the World Games, advertisers from all over the world have been flocking to it.

They waved their banknotes and scrambled for advertising space.

On the city walls, along the streets, and even on the roofs of people's homes.

It is hung with a variety of advertising banners, making the entire Shannan Prefecture particularly lively.

This does not include the increase in Shannan Prefecture’s influence and the cohesion of the people.

The news of the World Games spread to all countries, and countless people were curious and yearning for Shannan Prefecture.

The arrival of contestants and tourists from various countries not only promoted exchanges between Shannan Prefecture and other countries.

It also enhanced Shannan Prefecture's international reputation and influence.

It also laid the foundation for Lu Yan's future Shannan Chamber of Commerce.

The hospitality of the people of Shannan Prefecture has also won unanimous praise from tourists from all over the world.

It further enhanced the cohesion and centripetal force of Shannan Prefecture.

Therefore, even if it costs tens of millions of taels of silver to host this event, Shannan Prefecture will definitely make a huge profit.

Lu Yan rubbed his brows and put down the file about the tax reform in Shannan Prefecture.

He has been busy these days preparing for this damn "World Games".

"Sir, the delegations and athletes from various countries have arrived in Shannan Prefecture."

Xiaoyu's voice is crisp and as pleasant as a wind chime.

Lu Yan looked up and looked at the pretty girl in front of him, and couldn't help but smile:

"Xiaoyu, your news comes at the perfect time. I'm having a headache right now."

"Sir, the morning meeting and luncheon have been arranged. Do you have anything else to add?"

Xiaoyu blinked her eyes, looking clever.

"Are all the athletes from all countries here? Has the headcount been determined?"

"Everyone is here, my lord. There are fifty-six countries in total, and each country has sent a representative team, with a total number of athletes exceeding one thousand."

Xiaoyu handed over a list, which was densely filled with information of delegations from various countries.

Lu Yan took a quick look and nodded with satisfaction:

"Yes, it seems that the influence of this sports meeting is greater than I thought."

He began to think about the process of the opening ceremony in his mind. Should he hold a lighting ceremony?

How about a big song and dance show?

Do you want……

"My Lord, what are you thinking about?"

Seeing Lu Yan frowning, Xiaoyu couldn't help but ask curiously.

"I'm thinking about how to make this sports meet more exciting and memorable."

A sly smile appeared on Lu Yan's lips.

"Xiaoyu, what do you think? Should we fire a few cannonballs to celebrate at the opening ceremony?"

Xiaoyu covered her mouth and laughed secretly: "Sir, you really are... childish at heart."

The luncheon was held in the reception hall. Representatives from 56 countries and officials from Shannan Prefecture gathered together, toasting each other and creating a warm atmosphere.

Lu Yan walked into the reception hall surrounded by stars.

He walked with the gait of a dragon and a tiger, and had a strong aura, which attracted everyone's attention in an instant.

Everyone stood up, some called him "Taishou" or "Master", with respectful tones and humble expressions.

Lu Yan just casually raised his hand to signal everyone to sit down, but no one dared to move.

Only after he had firmly taken the main seat did everyone else cautiously follow suit and sit down. The entire process was silent.

Chen Qingwan's gaze always followed Lu Yan, watching him in high spirits and talking and laughing cheerfully.

The worries of the past few days and the trauma after the war seemed to have dissipated a lot.
