"Before the Western Region, there were many countries, and they fought for decades. In the end, there were three big countries left, Crescent Country, Paya and Us Country."
"Eight years ago, the Us State captured the capital of the Crescent Moon State and the Crescent State was destroyed. Only Paya and the Us State were left to fight against each other."
"Last year, the Paya Kingdom was conquered and the Us Kingdom unified the Western Region. King Geers heard that the Great Zhou was rich, and with the instigation of Tang Guolong and Pu Xuan, he wanted to invade the Great Zhou."
"They sent out five thousand cavalry and looted all the way to Jinsha City. What happened next is what we encountered."
Feng He told the general information about the caravan's investigation, and at the same time took out a booklet, which recorded various experiences of the Us country, as well as the customs and customs of the Us country, especially the geographical map.
For fighting a war, the most important thing is the map.
If you don't even know the opponent's city, population distribution, army size, and material distribution, the war will be a blind one.
Looking through the album, Long Chen said: "Very good, the martial arts in the Central Plains will subside in two or three months, and then I can use my hands to deal with the Us Kingdom."
Feng He asked: "Sir, must we destroy the country of Us?"
Long Chen asked back: "Is there any problem?"
Feng He smiled and said, "Us Country is too far away, and... I always feel it's so weird over there."
"The caravan asked many people about the Frost Kingdom that the adults mentioned, and the answers they got were almost the same. They all said it was a legendary thing."
"But I think the Frost Country exists, but they don't even know it."
"A place like this is too dangerous."
Long Chen smiled and said: "You also know that this country is strange and dangerous. If such a country is not eliminated, and it is allowed to exist in the west, it may invade the Great Zhou at any time. I can't sleep well."
"Shen Wanjin took so many half-ghost masters to the Western Region. If we don't chase them all, what will happen if something like the ghost clan appears in the west in the future?"
"I can still fight now. The Great Zhou Dynasty has just gone through a great war, and there is no shortage of generals and elite soldiers. At this time, even if the Us Kingdom is half-ghost, and even if the Frost Kingdom is all vampires, we are not afraid."
"However, if in a few decades, or even a hundred years, you and I are dead, and all the powerful generals are gone, then who can resist the invasion of the Uz Kingdom and the invasion of the Frost Kingdom?"
"Why do I have to go to the country of Uz? It is to eliminate potential threats while I am still here and not leave any legacy to future generations."
This is Long Chen's true thoughts.
What he wanted to do was to eliminate all the hidden dangers that could be eliminated while he was still there and while Zhou Dynasty still had generals and elite soldiers.
No one can tell what will happen to the descendants in the future.
What if future generations can’t do it?
At that time, when the Us Kingdom and the Frost Kingdom invaded, who could stop them?
Long Chen is now the regent, acting as the agent for the state affairs of the Great Zhou Dynasty. In the future, he will ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor to govern the Great Zhou Dynasty.
As an emperor, how could he restore the country for Zalisa?
Just two women.
Feng He nodded and said: "That's right. The existence of the Us Kingdom and the Frost Kingdom is always a hidden danger. With your master's high cultivation level and the Holy Sage sitting in charge, those in the future may not be so powerful."
Long Chen said: "Get ready. When the time comes, I will go to Us Country."
Feng He said: "Shen Wanjin should be able to guess that the Lord is going. His news came from the caravan. Should we cut off the caravan from now on?"
Long Chen said: "If the caravan is cut off, how can I get there?"
Long Chen needed the caravan as cover, and Feng He's approach was not feasible.
"Yeah, too."
Feng He shook his head helplessly.
"This period will be more leisurely, so take a good rest."
Feng He stood up and Long Chen sent Feng He out.
In the following days, Feng He was preparing to go to the Western Regions. Long Chen accompanied the princess at the palace, went to the cabinet to review some documents, and implemented some reforms at the same time.
Soon, it was time for Di Yuwei to give birth.
The empress arrived at the palace, and the female imperial physician was guarding the palace.
Long Chen walked around, feeling very nervous.
The three sisters of Emperor Xingwan were usually jealous, but at this time, they were also very worried, waiting for news from the East Palace.
"It's been so long, why is there still no news?"
Di Luoxi walked around, feeling very anxious.
"Don't worry, there are so many imperial doctors here, everything will be fine."
Di Xingwan comforted Di Luoxi, but he walked around.
The empress held a cup of tea in her hand and did not take a sip for a long time.
Outside the door, a female imperial doctor hurried in and bowed to the empress and Long Chen: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, for giving birth to your eldest son. May mother and son be safe."
The empress was so happy that she dropped the tea cup on the table and splashed tea all over the table.
"Okay! Let me tell the world that I am happy to have a grandson!"
"All officials of rank five or above in the capital will be given twelve taels of gold! All people across the country will be given tax exemption for one year!"
The empress laughed happily: "Let's go, take me to see it."
The empress led the way, and Long Chen, the three sisters Di Xingwan, and Zhang Qian all arrived at the East Palace.
Di Yu was lying on the bed slightly, his lips were a little white and he looked very weak.
The female imperial doctor immediately came forward with the emperor's grandson in her arms: "Your Majesty, the emperor's grandson is very healthy."
The empress looked at her fat grandson and said excitedly: "This is the first grandson of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
Long Chen sat down by the bed, took Di Yuwei's hand and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Di Yuwei was very happy and said, "I gave birth to the first imperial grandson of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
Long Chen gently stroked Di Yuwei's hair and said, "Take a good rest."
The empress held her grandson in her arms and looked at her for a long time, then said to Emperor Yuwei: "Yu Wei has a good rest. I am very happy, and so is Dazhou."
Seeing that the empress was so happy, the three sisters, Emperor Xingwan, had already planned to squeeze Long Chen dry tonight.
News of the prince's birth came, and there was an endless stream of congratulators.
When Lao Zhuguo heard that Long Chen had given birth, he ran to see him excitedly. After returning, he immediately sent a letter to Jinling, urging Gongsun Ming to have the baby as soon as possible.
In the next few days, the palace held a banquet to entertain all the officials of the capital, and the empress held a banquet in the Daming Palace. The entire capital was enveloped in a festive atmosphere.
In the next few months, Long Chen stayed with Di Yuwei and took care of the children himself.
Time seemed to slow down suddenly.
The fighting and killing in the past has stopped, and life has become more comfortable.
...
West Factory.
Long Chen rode into the Yamen, and Yu Fuguo and Feng He came out to greet him.
"grown ups."
Yu Fuguo stepped forward and saluted.
"Thank you for your hard work, Master Yu. Everything in Yuncheng is finally over."
Long Chen dismounted and the three of them sat down in the pavilion.
It was already early autumn.
"Yeah, some people are dragging their feet and it's just over now."
Returning to the capital, Yu Fuguo was a lot happier.
"There is no need to detoxify later. If there is another half-ghost, just kill it."
"I formed a demon-hunting army in the capital specifically to kill half-ghosts. I also gave a heavy reward. If you hold the half-ghost's head, you can get a bounty. It is estimated that it will be pacified in a few years."
Yu Fuguo took out a small box and said, "Congratulations on your son."
Long Chen accepted the gift and said with a smile: "What about you? What are your plans?"
Yu Fuguo's wish is to get a wife and have children. The matter in Yuncheng is over, and Yu Fuguo can think about his own private affairs.
"I want to go back to Jinling."
Yu Fuguo was hesitant to speak, he was worried that Long Chen would not agree.
"Okay, I'll write a letter to Gongsun Ming. Qi Wenhai is coming back. You can replace Qi Wenhai as the head of the arrest department."
Long Chen readily agreed.
The Yufu Kingdom was overjoyed. The Hunting Division was the third most powerful person in Jinling after Gongsun Ming and Li Xiannan. It had great power, surpassing the Imperial City Division back then.
Yu Fuguo didn't expect Long Chen to trust him so much.
"Thank you, sir."
Long Chen smiled and said: "I may not be able to be there when you get married, but the gifts will definitely arrive."
Yu Fuguo smiled sheepishly and said: "It's just a table of wine. How can I dare to make such a big deal?"
He has a special status and is afraid of being laughed at by others.
"What's a joke? I was once a eunuch."
Long Chen laughed at himself.
Yu Fuguo smiled and said, "I plan to go to the palace to say goodbye tomorrow and leave the day after."
Long Chen said: "Okay, have a nice journey."
"I guess I'll have to leave in a few days."
Yu Fuguo asked: "Going to the Western Regions?"
Long Chen nodded and said: "Yes, but you can't say that to others."
Yu Fuguo understood: "Sir, be careful, we don't know much about the Western Region."
After chatting for a while, Long Chen returned to the palace, and Yu Fuguo also returned.
...
The small courtyard of the capital.
Zalisa stood in the yard, looking at the withered yellow leaves in trance.
Belloya asked: "Princess, do you miss your homeland?"
Zalisa nodded silently: "Before, I thought I would never go back, but he gave me hope."
Long Chen promised Zha Lisa to return to the country, which made her overjoyed.
At the moment she was sold to Xixia, she thought she would be a slave for the rest of her life and die a humble death.
Unexpectedly, she met Long Chen and lived a good life.
She was very satisfied with these days, and she didn't need to be a slave.
What was even more unexpected was that Long Chen actually agreed to restore the country.
Belloya said: "That's what I said at the beginning, but can I do it in the end?"
"How can it be so easy to restore the country? Our Crescent Moon Kingdom is too far away from the Great Zhou Dynasty. Across the desert, the Us Kingdom is so powerful."
Zarissa was worried about this too.
"Yes, I haven't been here for a long time. I heard that he gave birth to a son."
Zalisa was very worried that Long Chen would no longer consider the affairs of the Uz Kingdom after having a son.
The courtyard door knocked and Long Chen walked in. Zalisa greeted him in surprise: "Husband."
This is a title she learned to express intimacy.
"Have you mastered the martial arts I taught you?"
Long Chen took Zalisa's hand and entered the room.
"I'm learning, but it's very difficult to learn. It's very different from our Crescent Kingdom's martial arts."
Zalisa was a little embarrassed.
Long Chen taught Zha Lisa the Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix technique, hoping to improve her cultivation.
In the Western Region, after the Crescent Kingdom was rebuilt, Zalissa became the queen. She must have enough strength to keep the throne.
Just like Ji Xianxian, after conquering Zhao Kingdom, Ji Xianxian must be able to secure the throne.
Otherwise, if Long Chen leaves, the country will be destroyed.
"You have to change your thinking habits and read more of Da Zhou's books before you can understand Da Zhou's martial arts."
Martial arts is also a kind of knowledge. If you cannot understand the culture of Da Zhou, it is impossible to practice Da Zhou martial arts well.
Zalisa nodded and said, "I also want to find someone to learn from Da Zhou's writing."
She can only speak Da Zhou's language now, but she still doesn't understand the writing and has read even fewer books.
"Look more, I can help you restore the country, but you must be able to hold on after I leave."
Long Chen told Zalisa clearly.
"I understand, I will work hard."
Zalisa knew it very well: "Beloya learns better than me."
