Hunting system, and I ended up becoming the empress!

Li Xiao coughed dryly, and then coughed again, "This old minister does not understand military affairs, does not know the hardships of the front line, and cannot say much."

Xiao Zhixing smiled and nodded, "Old man, you can see that life on the front line is really hard. If we don't grab something from the enemy, we can't even get enough food with the money given by the court. How can we have the energy to fight?"

Huo Jindao also cleared his throat and said, "I heard from my sixth brother that you sold the cattle and sheep you robbed and brought back from the border to the merchants to raise military expenses. This method is indeed possible, but it is not in line with the demeanor of a great country."

Xiao Zhixing grinned, "Compared to the demeanor of a great country, the soldiers below prefer real gold and silver."

There has not been a successful case of annexation between countries on this continent for three or four hundred years. Even if there is a war, it is a back-and-forth battle with no one winning.

The grassland people still have some bandit genes, but they are more interested in grabbing territory or simply destroying everything.

The Central Plains countries have absolutely no such bandit mentality. Oh, they have been fighting with the four barbarians for nearly four hundred years, but have never been able to completely defeat them, so there is no land to rob.

Duke Li was thoughtful, "Fight to support war, act in secret?"

Xiao Zhixing smiled, "Yes, we will continue the negotiations on the surface and try to gain the greatest benefits. If they want to talk slowly and drag it out, we don't need to rush them. Let them talk as long as they want."

And secretly, she had instructed the army of Xincheng to spread out into the grasslands, and take turns transforming into bandits to rob and take everything.

It depends on how long the Northern Barbarians can hold on.

As long as we are not caught in the act, it is just banditry and has nothing to do with us. We really want to stop the war.

In fact, she wanted to order people to rob it openly, but it would be bad for her reputation.

The imperial court advocated a ceasefire, but on the surface she still had to obey the imperial court's orders.

She can do whatever she wants in secret, but this time she took the opportunity to help them think about it and show her own ideas, which was a kind of reporting.

Don't blame her for concealing the truth. If an accident happens in the future and she is caught red-handed, we can all share the responsibility.

Zhao Yunqi finally said, "Try to gain as much benefit as possible in the negotiations. As for the Nanyi and Beiman fronts, we will act according to circumstances in secret."

He was reluctant to say the robbery out loud, but everyone understood.

Xiao Zhixing cupped his hands and smiled, "Your Majesty is wise."

Zhao Yunqi nodded at her and said, "So you are the chief officer in this negotiation?"

Xiao Zhixing curled his lips, "Let the other adults go first and see what their attitude is. I will go last."

Everyone discussed our conditions again, requiring the Northern Barbarians to at least return Guixiong Pass and pay a certain amount of compensation, and requiring the Southern Barbarians to withdraw their troops to Jianan Pass and compensate for the losses.

It was decided that Huo Jindao and Li Guogong would be responsible for negotiating with them first, and Xiao Zhixing should not go if he could avoid it.

She really doesn't have that much patience for this kind of verbal battle.

It was already noon when he returned to the palace, and he mentioned the results of the discussion to Xiao Yuanshan.

"Haha, fighting to support fighting, what a good way to support fighting, hehe, in fact, your father did that when he was still a kid, and I've always wanted to do that."

This idea was exactly what he wanted. He was filled with emotion, thinking it was a pity that he could not go to the battlefield and fight alongside his daughter.

At night, when the live broadcast room was quiet, Xiao Zhixing called back Bai Feng, and the two flew to Jianan Pass.

The last time she came to rescue Xiao Yuanshan, she had never seen Feng Lizhen, so she didn't notice anything unusual.

"We have recorded every place that gray-robed man has been. Their influence is spread all over the place, involving all walks of life. The person behind them is definitely not a simple person."

Xiao Zhixing sat cross-legged on Bai Feng's back, and the wind didn't blow on his face at all. "The family behind the Luo Mansion in Shengjing is very small. I don't believe the results we have found out now. There are so many Luo families in the world, and they will be exposed sooner or later."

The Emperor System has a military layout and even more business layout, and she must find them one by one.

Those who are selected by the subsystem should not be underestimated.

If she doesn't find them and kill them, they will still be destabilizing factors even if she obtains the main system in the future.

She was even more worried that even if the main system was bound to her in the future, those subsystems would be used as backups, causing unnecessary accidents.

"Hey, Bai Feng, your speed has improved?" They reached Jianan Pass in just about an hour, which saved them a lot of time.

Bai Feng said happily: "You have improved and so have we. Hehe, I seem to have mastered the Phoenix clan's space teleportation technique, but I am not very familiar with it yet. I can only teleport two to three thousand meters each time."

She boasted, "And now my body size has doubled, so I can increase my flying speed even without teleporting."

"Black Tiger can't beat me at all!!"

The last sentence is the key point, right? Xiao Zhixing laughed.

The two arrived at Jianan Pass, floating high above the commander's mansion, and "Dao Zhan" was activated.

"Ding dong, ding dong... Zila, zila, warning! Warning! System detected! Subsystem detected!"

186 was already numb, it watched feebly as another subsystem appeared.

Xiao Zhixing locked onto the opponent, and after scanning, he directly destroyed and reorganized it, imitating the Emperor System.

The cool male electronic voice sounded, "Subsystem 172 has met the main system."

Xiao Zhixing ordered, "Continue to bind Feng Lizhen."

"Okay." This is still a quiet subsystem.

Xiao Zhixing left a mark, and his consciousness withdrew without doing anything else.

He and Bai Feng rushed back to Shengjing.

"This Emperor System is really speechless. It distributes sub-systems all over the world. Doesn't it completely expose itself? Does it regard the ancients as paper people?" Bai Feng complained.

Don't treat the ancients as fools. There are many abnormal things, and there will always be some smart people who will notice the existence of the system.

Xiao Zhixing was sorting out the information copied from the 172 branch system.

"You're right, this Feng Lizhen is the smart guy."

Xiao Zhixing's eyes were cold. "Others were chosen by the main system to delegate binding to subsystems after observation, but he took the initiative to approach and seek subsystem binding himself."

Fifteen years ago, Feng Lizhen was still an ordinary nobleman who knew nothing. He accidentally met a subsystem binder and discovered something unusual. After three years of observation and lurking, he directly told the other party that he also wanted to own a subsystem.

Later, the main system considered it, gave him a subsystem, and ordered him to serve in the Xiao Family Army. With the influence and help of the system, he gained the trust of Xiao Yuanshan and quickly became the deputy general of the Xiao Family Army.

At the same time, with the support of the subsystem, the Feng family, which had been unknown and about to decline, also rose rapidly. First, Feng Liyan successfully inherited the title and entered the high court, and then a hundred thousand troops were trained and established in his hometown.

A huge amount of the expenses are all provided by the main system.

She didn't believe that Zhao Yunqi didn't notice, but there was nothing he could do.

He is tied to the main system as one, and even reusing the Feng family and allowing them to privately possess a large number of troops are all tacit understandings between him and the main system.

One is to use it to suppress the Xiao family army, and the other is to use the Feng family to have another army of their own.

But the Emperor System and Zhao Yunqi will probably regret it.

Because the Feng family is restless.

It is obvious that the Feng family has great ambitions.

Xiao Zhixing wondered how to solve the Feng family problem?
