The study room of the Imperial Palace of the Kingdom of Jin.
The queen was carefully reviewing the memorial with a red pen in her hand, and Hui'er hurried in with a piece of paper.
"Your Majesty, Liu Mingzhi has returned from the Western Expedition with a great victory!"
The Queen's jade hand holding the red pen paused, and her exquisite and round body trembled slightly.
Gently placing the ink pen on the inkstone, the queen raised her head slightly and looked at Hui'er beside her. Two years had passed without leaving any trace of its presence on the queen.
The Empress still has a beautiful and fragrant face, and she has a more mature and elegant temperament than two years ago.
In the past, Wanyan Wanyan was a delicate flower stamen waiting to bloom, but now Wanyan Wanyan is a glorious and gorgeous flower bud in full bloom.
She is equally beautiful, but now she is even more eye-catching.
"Send it up!"
"yes!"
The Queen took the note from Hui'er's hand and read it carefully. Looking at the content on the note, the Queen showed a hint of surprise in her eyes: "A war horse of about three hundred thousand is not a small number. The dragon cavalry's Do the disadvantages really have to be made up for?"
"Your Majesty, in the past two years, according to your instructions, the border trade market has gradually become saturated. Except for the things that make people want to play and lose their minds, many things are now self-sufficient. The 200,000 war horses we purchased from the Turks have also been tamed. It’s perfect, but this time the dragon suddenly obtained about 300,000 high-quality war horses, and we are one step behind the dragon again!”
The Queen put the note on the candle with a nonchalant expression, ignited it and threw it into the brazier.
He slowly stood up and moved his bare, white and flawless lotus feet to the wall beside him, staring at the portrait of Young Master Liu in front of him, lost in thought.
"First, the border exchanges caused our subjects of the Jin Kingdom and the Turks to fall into extravagance and lose their fighting spirit. Now, we have raised 300,000 war horses for Dalong. How long are you going to fight against me!"
The business war that Liu Dashao secretly discussed with Li Zheng was to make the Jin and Turkic countries fall into an extravagant and extravagant life because of the large dragon's goods.
At first, the queen thought that Dalong was just for recuperation. Later, after thinking about it, the queen immediately understood Li Zheng's "insidiousness".
If the Jin and Turkic countries overly rely on the supply of goods from the Dalong caravan for a long time, not only will the Jin people's instinct for self-reliance be eroded, but some extravagant and lascivious items will also make the Jin people lose all their blood.
The most important thing is that once Dalong unilaterally orders the severance of border trade, the people of the Kingdom of Jin who rely on Dalong's caravan to bring a superior life will fall into panic.
Even if they are dissatisfied with the imperial court, they will think that the loss of their superior life is the result of the feud between the imperial court and Dalong.
After thinking about this, the Queen had to lament the ruthlessness of this strategy. She tried her best to make up for it and gradually changed the people of the Jin Kingdom from the habit of completely relying on the supplies of the Dalong caravan to self-sufficiency.
Not to mention, the changes in the Huyan tribe are the most obvious. With the delicious food made from the grain exchanged by the dragon, their ability to ride horses and herd is getting worse day by day.
People are lazy. Why do I have to work so hard to graze food when I have delicious food at my fingertips?
After several investigations and her own speculations, the Queen immediately figured out that the real person behind the business war plan was Liu Mingzhi.
Because it was after this guy got involved in politics that Dalong was sent as an envoy to the two countries and border trade began.
As a result, the two formed an inseparable bond of falling in love and killing each other.
But the Queen had to admit that the convenience brought by border trade was indeed the best way for the three countries to coexist peacefully.
It's just that the ultimate beneficiary of the border trade has always been the Dalong Kingdom.
The Turks of the Jin Kingdom may benefit, but the dragon will never suffer!
The Queen had to find a way to control the disadvantages caused by the mutual market and make use of the good things.
"Your Highness Princess, you can't go in. Your Majesty is reviewing the memorial. Your Majesty will be angry if you barge in!"
"Get out of the way, I want to see my mother!"
A childish and sweet voice broke the queen's deep thoughts, and she turned her eyes away from Liu Mingzhi's portrait. The queen's eyes became cold, and she slowly returned to her seat and sat down.
"Shuangyue, let Yue'er come in!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty agrees that you can go in!"
The door to the study room opened into a gap, and a man of about four or five years old, with a pink jade-like appearance and a smart look in his big eyes, was wearing a pink jacket, a plain white pleated skirt, and tiger skin brocade boots. The little Loli walked into the Chancellor's study room with her pink cheeks pouting and knelt down opposite the Queen.
The queen looked at the little cutie opposite her coldly: "What's wrong? Who made you angry?"
The little cutie threw a volume of books on the table: "Why did you lie to me?"
"When did I lie to you?"
The little cutie crossed her hands on her chest and looked at the Queen angrily: "If you say that I have fully understood the formation diagram of the Dragon Gate Formation, my father will come to see me. Now I have understood all the application transformations of the formation diagram of the Dragon Gate Formation." , Where is my dad? It’s been two days, why hasn’t my dad come yet?”
The little cutie looks old-fashioned and does not look like a four or five-year-old child at all. Instead, he looks like an old fox in his thirties or forties who has been tempered by the world.
The queen looked at the angry little cutie across from her with a hint of surprise in her bright eyes, and placed her gaze on the book in front of the little cutie.
"Have you really understood the evolution of the formation diagram in this book?"
"Flags and flags are arranged in three colors, and swords, halberds, and spears are arranged on all sides!"
"..."
"The whole formation coincides with the Nine Palaces and Bagua. There are thirty-six Tiangang and seventy-two earth evils, a total of one hundred and eight changes. The dragon's head, dragon's tail, dragon's back, dragon's belly, and dragon's claws echo back and forth. Everywhere looks like a birth gate. It’s the Gate of Death. As long as the same number of enemy troops enters the formation, not even one out of ten will survive, and even several times the number of enemies can be defeated as long as the formation flags are properly commanded!”
The queen looked at the little cutie blankly: "You are only four and a half years old, you..."
"Liar, mother is a big liar. Luoyue will never believe you again. I woke up at midnight and read ancient history books. I couldn't sleep or eat for half a year before I fully understood the Dragon Gate Formation. But where is my father? You told me Dad will come to see me, where is my dad?"
The queen looked at the little cutie in panic and then regained her composure: "Yue'er, you are too presumptuous. Have you forgotten all the rules?"
"I want my dad, why should Luoyue not have a dad when everyone else has a dad!"
There were tears in the little cutie's big eyes and she tried not to fall. She pursed her lips and ran towards the portrait of Young Master Liu hanging on the wall beside her.
He fell on the portrait and touched the portrait of Young Master Liu with his pink hands: "Dad, when are you going to come and see Yue'er? They are all big liars. How about you come and see Yue'er! Where are you?"
"Yue'er!"
The queen looked sadly at the little cutie sitting on the ground, looked at the acacia tree that had been transplanted to a height of more than one meter outside the window, took a deep breath: "Mom, take you to find your father!"
The little cutie turned around excitedly and looked at the queen kneeling in front of the dragon case: "Really?"
"Really, but you have to make a three-part agreement with me!"
"Yue'er promised you in Chapter 30 and Chapter 300, take Yue'er to find my father quickly!"
"Hui'er!"
"exist!"
"Prepare a car and go to Ganliang Official Road outside Ganzhou City!"
"yes!"
In the blink of an eye, an ordinary-looking carriage rushed south towards the dragon at great speed.
Three days later, the carriage crossed Shanhaiguan, circled Yingzhou, entered Ganliang official road and drove slowly south.
The little cutie looked at the scenery outside the car window in amazement and kept cheering: "Mom, look at there are so many people!"
The Queen looked at the long procession of the Western Expedition Army heading south along the Ganliang Official Road, pursed her lips, and stared at Liu Zishuaiqi in shock for a moment.
The queen gently lifted up the little cutie and jumped onto the carriage, placing the telescope in front of the little cutie.
"Don't forget the three-part agreement you made with me!"
The little cutie nodded aggrievedly: "I know!" As soon as she finished speaking, the cutie's face lit up: "Is my dad among those people?"
"Huier, drive carefully!"
"yes!"
The queen was sitting cross-legged on the roof of the carriage, supporting the little cutie, raising her slender jade finger and pointing at the handsome flag with a willow pattern.
"Use a telescope and look at the willow flag over there and you can see him!"
The little cutie couldn't wait to raise his telescope and look at the Western Expedition army.
Looking at the crowd in the mirror, the little cutie stopped and looked at the big eyes of Young Master Liu who was riding the horse with deep surprise.
"My dad, it's my dad, it's really my dad. Yue'er saw dad!"
The little cutie put away the telescope and stood up excitedly waving her little hands towards the Western Expedition Army.
"Dad, I am Yue'er, can you hear me? When are you coming to see Yue'er!"
The queen reached out to take the telescope from the little cutie's hand, but the little cutie held her tightly in her arms and refused to let go!
"Look at Yue'er for a while, just for a moment, okay? From now on, Yue'er will listen to you no matter what you ask Yue'er to do!"
The Queen was stunned for a moment and finally took back her palm!
The little cutie once again held up the telescope and looked towards Young Master Liu's position.
"Mom, daddy is so close to us, why doesn't he come to see Yue'er? Does he not like Yue'er?"
"Of course not. On the day you were born, your father was kidnapped by Dalong's bad guys to protect you. Now these people are looking at your father and not letting him come back to see you. Yue'er, you can only be proficient in piano and chess. Calligraphy and painting, as soon as possible, you will be able to lead people to rescue your father if you have all the skills, culture, Taoism and martial arts, so that you can live with your father forever, and he will never leave you again!"
The little cutie bit her silver teeth, reluctantly taking one last look at Young Master Liu's face in the mirror, and resolutely handed the telescope to the queen.
"Mom, let's go back, Yue'er has to go back to study!"
The queen looked at the direction of the Western Expedition army with nostalgia: "Hui'er, return to the palace!"
"yes!"
"Daddy, wait for Yue'er, Yue'er will definitely rescue you and never let you leave Yue'er again!"
The little cutie lay on the car window looking at the retreating direction of the Western Expeditionary Army, clenching her pink fists tightly and shouting.
"Yue'er, you can finally rest assured now. It's not that you don't have a father. Your father is the greatest hero in the world. You must grow up as soon as possible and save him!"
The little cutie nodded heavily: "Well, Yue'er knows, go to Dalong to save daddy!"
"Yue'er is so good!"
"Mom, how long will it take for Yue'er to grow up?"
"It will take you eight...two thousand days to grow up. Your father will never leave you again by then!"
"Okay, Yue'er knows!"
"Xu..."
Liu Mingzhi suddenly grabbed the horse's rein and looked around in confusion.
"Commander, what's wrong with you?"
"I suddenly felt palpitations, as if a close relative was by my side! This is a feeling of blood connection, and I don't know why I feel this way."
"Commander, are you homesick? We can return to the capital in one month!"
"Maybe so, keep going!"
