"Military advisor, my subordinates have taken Zhou Jin to the Security Department for strict interrogation as you ordered. What should I do next?"

After the officer and soldier in charge of taking Zhou Jin away, he respectfully waited outside the carriage and reported to Xu Wenjing inward.

Although he was very puzzled why Xu Wenjing asked them to beat Zhou Jin for no reason, he didn't dare to say much. After all, Xu Wenjing is a person Liu Ce relied on very much and should not be so brainless in doing things.

Xu Wenjing in the car was still peeking at Qiao Yixuan through the glass curtain, her eyes full of infatuation.

It was not until Qiao Yixuan had a pair of children that she put away her smile, let go of her hand holding the curtain, and said to the officer and soldier with a gloomy face: "There is nothing you have to do here. Go back to the security department to stand by. Remember not to mention the matter today to anyone, do you understand?"

"I understand..." The officer and soldier immediately bowed to Xu Wenjing in the car as if he was pleased.

These officers and soldiers were all adapted from the Beijing Army, and their qualities were naturally not comparable to those of Liu Ce’s headquarters. Now they are nothing more than just making a living.

Xu Wenjing nodded, took out a bag of silver dollars from her arms and threw it into his hand: "This is fifty silver dollars. You and your brother have all divided it. By the way, you can remind Qiao that if you want to save his husband, go to Dali Temple for help!"

After saying that, Xu Wenjing ordered the coachman in a deep voice: "Get off and return to the palace."

The four-wheeled carriage slowly drove away. When he was at odds with Qiao Yixuan, Xu Wenjing couldn't help but pull the curtains and glanced at him. Seeing Qiao Yixuan sitting helplessly on the ground with her children in her arms, her face full of reluctance.

At that moment, Xu Wenjing wanted to jump out of the car and comfort her, but he still held it back.

"Xuan'er, why did you betray me at the beginning? I just disliked me, Xu Wenjing, a low-level identity, right? Now I am about to be the best minister. Will you regret your choice?"

The carriage quietly drove out of Minfang and slowly moved towards the direction of the palace.

...

"King of Han, good news on the front line, the two armies of Commander Lu and Commander Zhang have broken through Huangfu five days ago and occupied the Changhe Fortress. They are now preparing to attack Jingchu!"

In the Tai Chi Hall, after receiving this news, Liu Ce, who was busy instructing the civil affairs of the Gyeonggi Province, showed a faint smile on his lips.

Compared to defeating Huang Fu, he cares more about the combat effectiveness of Serie B sergeants. I believe that through this airport battle, Class B soldiers can become qualified and high-quality elite soldiers and can be continuously invested in various battlefields.

"Get the detailed report of the Battle of the Long River to me..."

Liu Ce put down the document book and ordered the detective to report the front line. He was very concerned about the process of this battle, which had a great connection with the training of commanders in the army in the future.

After Liu Ce finished reading the battle report, his frowning brows unfolded instantly.

"The line-line fire gun array is indeed useful. In this way, the future military will gradually develop towards firearms. With such a record in front of me, I think Yang Kaishan and the others have any reason to object."

After closing the battle report, Liu Ce was in a good mood. After all, the threat from Huang Fu to the capital was temporarily lifted, and Lu Su and Zhang Yichao's two legions began to advance towards the three provinces of Jing and Chu. This most basic strategic goal has been achieved, and the rest is to continue to expand the results of the battle.

Now as long as the Huangfu forces can be expelled from the Jingchu land, he can contact the Jiangnan region. With his secret relationship with the Jiang family, Liu Ce believes that the Jiang family knows what to choose.

After you have controlled the Jiangnan land and put it in your hands, you will have plenty of time to rectify the mountains and rivers and clear away all obstacles.

"King of Han, Baron asks for a meeting..."

"Let him come in..."

Under Wei Dian's leadership, Baron entered the Tai Chi Hall swaggeringly. As soon as he saw Liu Ce, he immediately knelt down and bowed.

"Get up..." Liu Ce has also gotten used to Baron's attitude these days, and said lightly, "How is this errand done?"

Baron immediately looked up and said, "Reporting to Ce Khan, is this job done well? Baron dares not underestimate himself. Baron just wants to do his best to satisfy Ce Khan. Baron is the slave of Ce Khan, and everything is subject to Ce Khan's arrangement!"

Wei Dian frowned and thought to himself that Baron is really good at flattering, and he would have been happy if he wanted to change to ordinary people.

After hearing this, Liu Ce's face was calm and said to Baron: "Very good. From now on, you will be the guard beside me, responsible for protecting my safety!"

"Thank you for your accomplishment!" Baron knelt in front of Liu Ce again and worshiped him with joy.

Liu Ce shook his head helplessly, let Balong rise behind and said to Wu Sidao: "According to the plan, in a few days, those officials will take the initiative to seek asylum in this way, which will clear many obstacles for the king to implement the new policy."

Wu Sidao nodded and said, "King of Han, the main problem at the moment is how to open the road from the capital to Shu as soon as possible. Shu is the country of Tianfu and is also the fortress of Bohe front line. It is necessary to collect it as quickly as possible. If today's people and people have occupied it, the only place is this advantage..."

Liu Ce interrupted Wu Sidao's words: "I naturally know Mr. Wu's meaning. If the Shu Road is not open, it will not allow the central government to obtain the first contact with Shu, nor will it transport troops, money and food to the front line in an orderly manner to resist Bohe's invasion.

The reason why the Bohe people dared to plunder Shu all year round was that they regarded the difficulty of passing the Shu road and the unfavorable support route of the imperial court, so they did whatever they wanted. It was also the key to the inability to concentrate the strength of Shu to resist the Bohe people..."

Wu Sidao sighed: "I really didn't expect that the King of Han had never been to Shu, but he also understood Longzhou's military affairs so well, and his subordinates admired him."

Liu Ce shook his head and smiled: "I have been in the Qinling Mountains for several months. I know that mountains, rivers and roads are difficult to move, so I want to transport a large number of troops to Shu.

The fastest way at present is to go to water and land. Only after the attack of the Bohe people was frustrated can they have enough time and energy to dig mountains and carve stones and open up land routes."

Wu Sidao nodded, recognized Liu Ce's suggestion, and continued: "King of Han, the Bohe people have fought each other due to the change of power in recent years, because of the Bohe people's power, and the fighting between the plateau generals Lun Qingling and Hada Zansang has relieved a lot of pressure on the front line in Shu.

We should use this precious time to make arrangements and not let the past tragedies in Shu happen again..."

Upon hearing this, a ruthless look flashed in Liu Ce's pupils: "If I have the chance, I plan to destroy all the Bohe people. Such a barbaric tribe group should not exist in this world..."

Wu Sidao's back suddenly felt a chill. The extermination of the clan might be a legend for other forces, but he understood that it was not a joke to say this from Liu Ce's mouth.

After all, Liu Ce's reputation in the Far East was built up by mountains of corpses and blood. He had never lenient towards foreigners, and he also indulged all tribes to adopt an extreme policy of extermination against foreign forces.

When Liu Ce and Wu Sidao discussed plans for Shu again, Jiao Luo suddenly came to report: "King of Han, hundreds of officials in the city outside the palace were asking for a meeting..."

When Liu Ce heard this, he looked at each other with Wu Sidao, and at the same time he smiled. He knew that this was the effect of the pressure from the ghost market, and these officials were probably here to seek their own protection.

"Let them go to the side palace first to wait for orders. After I handle official duties, I will meet these important officials in the court."

...

Two days later, in Li Suwen's mansion...

"Well... itchy..."

Wei Ying's eyebrows and eyes were as silk as silk, her face was filled with peach blossoms, and she lay lazily on the couch, wearing only a thin layer of cicada gauze, which fully supported her proud figure. At the same time, her white and delicate jade feet were placed on the knee of a man sitting on the edge of the bed.

The man held Wei Ying's left foot with one hand, and held a feather in the other hand, gently sliding back and forth, making Wei Ying feel extremely itchy.

This man is naturally no one else, but military advisor Xu Wenjing.

Since Xu Wenjing saved Wei Ying, the relationship between the two can be said to be very ambiguous. Although the last layer of window paper has not been broken, judging from the current situation, it is only a matter of time.

Xu Wenjing looked at Wei Ying's jade feet, glanced at the hazy wonder behind Wei Ying's cicada veil, couldn't help swallowing a few saliva, and said to Wei Ying: "Your Highness, the weather is getting hotter and hotter this time. I specially prepared some ice drinks to cool down your princess. I hope your princess can like it..."

As he said that, he gently slid his feathers on the soles of Wei Ying's feet a few times...

After hearing this, Wei Ying bit her lower lip lightly, obviously enduring the numbness of her body and mind caused by the soles of her feet. After a long time, she said slowly: "Xu Aiqing, you are really mean. I... I really don't know how to thank you... Well..."

After speaking, Wei Ying couldn't help but moan slightly, which made Xu Wenjing's heart sensation and almost made a move to take the overlord.

Fortunately, he finally held it in his arms...

Soon, the two maids came to Wei Ying with a bowl of cold ice sand.

Seeing this, Wei Ying immediately became interested. She retracted her jade feet from Xu Wenjing and curiously picked up one of the bowls of ice sand.

"Your Highness, this is a special ice drink, covered with various colors of jam and honey, do you taste it to your taste..."

After listening to Xu Wenjing's introduction, Wei Ying took the spoon next to her, then gently scooped it into her mouth...

Soon, her eyes lit up and she said to Xu Wenjing with praise: "This is really a cold drink for summer sucking. Xu Aiqing, I really didn't expect you to have such a good thing..."

After saying that, I couldn't wait to scoop a spoonful and put it in my mouth.

Xu Wenjing bowed and explained: "Your Highness, this ice drink, also known as ice cheese, is not made by his subordinates, but is actually the masterpiece of the King of Han. Now the entire Far East has long been popularized..."

Wei Ying nodded and said, "This ice drink should be given to the emperor's family. How can it be popularized among the people?"

Xu Wenjing smiled and said, "That's because the Han king is kind and righteous. I hope the people can live a good life..."

When Wei Ying heard the "King of Han", she stopped saying anything. Although she understood that Liu Ce would no longer care about the conflicts with him in the past, she was still afraid of Liu Ce and tried not to mention the topic he could.

Just as Wei Ying continued to eat ice cheese silently, a maid reported outside the room: "Report to the Princess Princess, the Zuo Adjutant (Zuo Shuo) was waiting for the military advisor outside the door, saying that the guest came from the mansion..."

Upon hearing this, Xu Wenjing immediately stood up and said to Wei Ying, "Your Highness, Princess, I will leave now. Take care of you..."

Wei Ying nodded, said to Xu Wenjing with a pretty look: "Xu Aiqing, just go there if you are busy, this palace is very good now..."

"I'm leaving..."

Xu Wenjing bowed her head and left Wei Ying's room in an orderly manner, and rushed to the outside of the mansion.

"Strange, who did Xu Wenjing go to meet? Why is this palace becoming more and more curious?"

Watching Xu Wenjing leave, Wei Ying muttered suspiciously...
