Villain: We agreed to cancel the engagement, what are you regretting?

In the whole Daqian, if you want to say which region is the richest, everyone will say it is the Jianghuai region without hesitation.

Because there are dense water networks over there, it is a land of fish and rice.

In addition, shipping is developed, and the goods transported from east to west, north to south, must pass through here, so it is naturally extremely rich.

But if you want to say who is the richest, it is not Jiang Danian, the richest man in the Jianghuai region, nor is it the King of Wu Ying Ziyue, who has a fief in the Jianghuai region and controls the world's money houses, but the Zhenbei Palace, which lives in a bitter and cold place.

Why?

The Jianghuai region is rich, but it is the wealth of the world, not the wealth of one family.

And the four states in the northern border are all the territory of the Zhenbei Palace.

In the vassal system of Daqian, the taxes are all the vassal kings themselves, and there is no need to pay them.

And every year the court has to allocate funds to subsidize the vassal kings on the border.

It is for the stability of the border.

The border is bitter and cold, and the population is sparse and the products are not abundant. Every year, a large amount of materials need to be transported from the Central Plains.

The court also indirectly controls the various vassal kings.

But who would have thought that after several generations of painstaking management by the Zhenbei King, the environment of the four states in the northern border has been greatly improved, and the total population has exceeded five million.

In addition to the monopoly of trade with Rongdi, it can be said that life has become better and better.

Although it is not as good as the Central Plains such as Jianghuai, it is a first-class good environment among all the borders.

The Zhenbei Palace also took advantage of this to become the richest in the world, and even the soldiers' salaries were more than double that of the court, not to mention various other benefits.

Especially in recent years, Daqian and Rongdi have been too peaceful, and trade has been very frequent.

Through the border market in the north, Daqian's merchants constantly use porcelain, silk, tea, etc. to exchange for war horses, furs, and dairy products in the hands of Rongdi.

The lives of the herdsmen of Rongdi have also improved, and the high-level officials have also blown up waves of decadent winds in the Central Plains.

The Khan of the Qiyan tribe, Erile, saw this, how could it be?

If the nomadic peoples are domesticated like this and lose their wolf nature, they will sooner or later be destroyed by Daqian. This cannot go on!

All this is Daqian's conspiracy!

But now, those Rongdi nobles and people are definitely unwilling to fight.

Wouldn't it be nice to exchange cattle, sheep and horses for good things without losing anyone?

Who wants to fight to the death?

So Erle thought of a way.

He asked his not-so-good-brained brother, Ajinai, to come to Daqian, constantly provoking and buying people's hearts everywhere. He was specifically doing the kind of behavior that would seek death.

As long as someone in Daqian got angry and killed Ajinai, it would be fine.

First, let Rongdi and his people share the same hatred and have a reason to start a war.

Second, get rid of his half-brother competitor.

In order to make the plan foolproof, he also sent Batu Dabalagan by his side.

It was called protection, but it was actually surveillance.

If the Daqian people were really scared, Dabalagan would kill Ajinai on the way back and put the blame on the Daqian people.

When Dabalagan attacked Wang Xuan today, he was not only targeting him, but also covering him and Ajinai together. When they were killed together, they could also blame it on the Daqian people.

But what he didn't expect was that Wang Xuan had broken through to the level of Wuque Grandmaster.

He didn't even touch him, but was stabbed to death by a finger.

It became a joke.

Fortunately, Ajinai died, and he also completed the task.

It's just that this task was done by Wang Xuan.

In this case, why didn't he just kill Dabalagan and then escort Ajinai out of the country?

Wouldn't this avoid the fight between the Northern Border and Rongdi?

This is too much of an underestimation of Erile. Even if Ajinai returned to the grassland safely, he died suddenly due to various reasons, and it was attributed to Daqian.

In other words, Ajinai was destined to die, so it didn't matter who killed him.

Moreover, Ajinai flirted with Yang Xiaoxue in the South City, and he had his own way to die.

Diing in his hands, he could also plot against Lin An, and his death was worthy.

When the time comes to fight with Erile, maybe he can use this secret to PY with him.

Brother, don't you want others to know that you secretly killed your brother?

As long as Erile acknowledges this, the two sides will not fight to the death, and will have a low-intensity battle from time to time, nurturing the enemy and protecting themselves, and they can also get a steady supply of supplies from the court. Isn't it wonderful?

Of course, Wang Xuan would never say these words to the empress.

He just bowed and said:"It is the duty of a minister to share the worries of the emperor!"

What a great way to share the worries of the emperor!

Li Chenghuan couldn't tell whether Wang Xuan was telling the truth or a lie.

"This Wang Xuan is much more difficult to deal with than his father!" She murmured to herself.

But the more difficult he is, doesn't it mean that the person she chose is not wrong?

At least he is much better than that guy Lin An.

Li Chenghuan's eyes fixed:"What a good person to share your worries!"

"It seems that I was wrong. Lord Wang really cares about me......."

Wang Xuan said with a smile:"Your Majesty, you are too polite. Basic practice is not too harsh!"

Li Chenghuan was stunned, not understanding what"Basic practice is not too harsh" meant, but it sounded like a humble remark, so she said coldly:

"Since your family is so willing to share your worries, this disaster was caused by your Zhenbei Palace. If the Rongdi go south, your Zhenbei Army will be fully responsible. The imperial court can only pay half of the food and wages! This is a punishment for you!"

"Humph!"

After saying that, Li Chenghuan turned around and left without giving Wang Xuan a chance to explain.

You've been waiting for him here for so long!

Cut their military pay in half.

However, this amount of money is nothing to the current Zhenbei Palace, but this operation is a bit disgusting.

It's like taking advantage of others and still acting cute.

"Your Majesty! You promised me the True Dragon Picture......."Wang Xuan quickly mentioned the request that the empress had agreed to.

"Wait until you have dealt with the Rongdi issue first!"

Oh my!

Sure enough, he is cheating!

No wonder he agreed so readily before!

Wang Xuan thought he was lucky and got the upper hand.

Unexpectedly, it was just a big pie!

In his previous life, he was full by eating the big pie drawn by his boss.

Unexpectedly, he would have to eat the big pie given by the empress in this life. It was really unexpected. However, no matter how angry he was, Wang Xuan could not break into the palace to see the real dragon picture.

Not to mention whether he had the ability to do so, even if he did, he didn't know what the real dragon picture looked like or where it was. He couldn't find it even if he wanted to.

"It's my bad luck, Wang Xuan! Sooner or later, I will get back at him! Humph!"Wang Xuan said harshly.

Then he turned around and walked away angrily.

At this time, in an invisible corner, Li Chenghuan looked at Wang Xuan's angry look and smiled:

"Humph! So what if you're so arrogant?"

"Can't I control you?"

Eunuch An, who was standing by, was also shocked when he saw this scene.

The empress rarely laughed like this, and she didn't expect that there was such a girl's temper.

But he reacted instantly, and immediately looked at his nose with his eyes, his mouth with his nose, and his heart with his mouth, pretending that he saw nothing.

He has been in this palace for forty years, and the eunuchs and palace maids around him have been replaced one after another, but he still stands firm, relying on listening more and talking less, pretending to be confused.

This is the leader's business!

It's better not to ask!......

Wang Xuan quickly returned to the Zhenbei Palace.

The joy of the upcoming lottery dispelled the unhappiness brought to him by the empress's cheating.

After he found some pomelo leaves to wash his body, he thought to himself:

"Wuji! Give me a special lottery!"

A virtual disc appeared in front of Wang Xuan, and the pointer on it kept turning.

Wang Xuan saw the right moment and shouted:"Stop!"

At this time, the pointer slowly stopped, and the mechanical sound in his mind sounded:

【Consumes one advanced lottery draw!】

【Congratulations to the host for obtaining the only innate magical power: One Qi Transformed into Three Pure Ones!】

"I go!"
