Realm of Power

Tianlang Mansion, the inner courtyard of the Imperial Governor's Mansion in the center of the well-shaped street, the water outlet where rainwater pours in continuously, the circular water fountain in the courtyard forms a gush, like a large ball of water blooming, go up to the second floor , opened the door, Yue Xiner's eyes were unconsciously attracted to the woman leaning on the window sill in the room,

In his hand is a copy of "Wenhualu Collection" that he bought from a businessman. His eyes are bright and gentle, his long black hair is tied up in a bun, and he wears a carefully tailored top made of vermilion silk with a wide lapel. The collar stood high and opened like lily petals, looking noble and graceful. It was embroidered with cloud-like patterns. The exquisite lapel set off the snow-white neck. The lower body was covered with a long emerald skirt trailing on the velvet carpet. ,

The whole person sat there, like a fairy wandering out of the dust. Outside the window sill, the raindrops were flying, just like the person in the painting.

The same piece of clothing worn on her body was indeed different from that worn on this woman. Yue Xiner sighed secretly. Thinking of this woman's noble bloodline, Yue Xiner unconsciously felt a hint of sadness. The Yue family moved before the catastrophe in the Imperial Capital, so they only heard about that catastrophe.

But the whole woman in front of me was a witness to that catastrophe. As the most noble princess in the empire, she was as noble as the bright moon in the sky. She was suddenly immersed in the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood. In her eyes as bright as the moonlight, she could only see I'm afraid that what I've left behind is the most cruel hell I've ever seen, full of displacement. , the fate of being pushed around like goods, finally landed in a foreign country thousands of miles away. "Am I shameless? I shouted in front of so many people that I wanted to marry him, but in the end I was Ruthless rejection! "The woman in front of the window raised her head and looked over with bright and clear eyes. There was a hint of vibrato in his voice.

"Your Highness Princess, you can rest assured that not many people in the empire can understand what Zhongbia said, and even if they really miss some, no one dares to tell them!" Yue Xiner put down the food box in her hand helplessly, leaving Princess Mingyue alone. Breaking into the empire's tent for the emperor. She was shouting about marrying the Emperor of the Falcon Empire. Although there were very few people in the imperial camp who could understand Zambia, there was one outside the tent. She almost fell down with fear on the spot. That was her. Father, the general affairs officer of the Imperial Yueshan Province who had just escorted the army supplies to the Imperial Camp that day. Yue Shan, according to his father, the scene at that time was really explosive, but the emperor did not get angry, he just called the guards in imperial language. He handed this woman to his father and took him back to Tianlang Mansion. No one knew what happened in the tent. Only his father knew something, "But he understands, I know! I talked to her!"

Princess Mingyue whispered through gritted teeth, her face slightly reddened, thinking of the scene that day, even though she had calmed down. I also felt a sense of embarrassment that I couldn't hide. After all, I was also a princess of the Central Asian Empire, a first-class royal noble. The other party clearly spoke Zhongbia, but he gave orders in words he didn't understand, and then he was escorted here." He is the emperor. I heard that he has ten official wives, and I don't know how many lovers he has. , Such a carefree man is not suitable for Her Royal Highness."

Yue Xiner smiled bitterly and said that her father asked her to serve the Princess of Zhongbia. It seems a little unreasonable, but it is what my father secretly told me. Let Yue Xiner dare not have any thoughts. The emperor really wants the princess to escape, but the princess herself has no intention of running away. If you can persuade her, it will definitely be a great achievement. . "Ten wives are nothing!"

Speaking of this, Princess Mingyue smiled instead. More women don't matter. Royal women have long taken it lightly. She closed the Wenhualu in her hand and said very nonchalantly, "I grew up in the palace. I really don't care about this kind of fact." I have seen a lot of princes in the emperor's royal family. Which one of them doesn't have a lot of wives and concubines at home, with six concubines and eighteen concubines? That is my brother. Apart from the queen, he is only There are eleven concubines with titles, and there are seventy or eighty other kinds of concubines with titles, not even one hundred, not to mention those female officials and maidservants, all counted, three or four thousand is not an exaggeration, the emperor Even if there are three thousand beauties in the harem, that person is still the emperor after all, and it is not a concubine selection every three years. It can be regarded as the emperor's family. Only ten women are too stingy! "

Princess Mingyue said to herself, her delicate eyebrows slightly raised, her voice paused, she seemed to have thought of something, she glanced at the dumbfounded Yue Xiner, and asked hesitantly in a low voice, "No way, the queen is too strong. , so..." "I heard that the empire did not have a queen, only ten princesses." Yue Xiner shook her head and subconsciously said that she had been frightened by the attitude of Princess Mingyue. The emperor had three thousand beauties in the harem. This It's folk rumors, but hearing the emperor's biological sister say the same thing, that's another matter. The emperor of Zhongbia chooses his concubine once every three years, and this year happens to be the third year. If he is still in Zhongbia now, what will happen to the Yue family? He is also a third-grade martial artist, and he cannot escape the selection of a concubine. Once he enters the palace, even a person like Princess Mingyue will be like duckweed in troubled times in the catastrophe of the imperial capital. He can no longer imagine what will happen to a little person like him.

Yue Xiner, who was sighing to herself, didn't notice at all. As soon as she said these words, Princess Mingyue's eyes lit up. Princess Mingyue's hands clenched under the table. "There is no queen? Are you sure?" It is true that there is no queen, but each of the ten princesses is different. "General person!" Yue Xiner said, women have a common passion for gossip. Once they find a common topic, they will become closer. Although Yue Xiner has never been inside the Great Wall, she is still a province of the empire. The daughter of the general affairs officer also knows a little about the empire.

As a young girl who is not yet married, she is half-fluent in the imperial language, and there are very few people she can find to chat with on weekdays. But now that she meets one, she is the most noble princess in Central Asia, so naturally she will tell her everything. Whatever she knows, just say it. What, for example, except for two or three unknowns, most of the ten imperial concubines are real princesses, and there are even queen-level figures with tens of thousands of troops.

"Queen?"

Princess Mingyue frowned, secretly thinking that Yue Xiner was exaggerating. Concubine and queen were two different concepts. The concubine is the emperor's wife. Although she has certain powers, she is attached to the emperor. The queen represents a certain degree of autonomy and may even have her own land and army.

Princess Mingyue didn't believe that with such power in hand, who would be willing to become a man's accessory!

Seeing that Princess Mingyue didn't believe it, Yue Xiner quickly said, "For example, there is a princess in Tianlang Mansion now, Princess Ruitang Tingna, who is the eldest princess of the Dongting people. She has tens of thousands of Dongting cavalry under her command. They are invincible and kill countless people." Wolf Mansion One Zhan, I heard that the princess's horse hooves were soaked in blood, but her expression remained unchanged. However, even such a woman did not dare to take a breath when she saw the emperor. The emperor said that she should stay in the Tianlang Mansion. , just stay there obediently, even Sirius She didn't even go out of the house, but she could be heard singing a very sad song at night. It was said that many people died in the battle some time ago. The eldest princess vowed not to look to the northwest! The wilderness stretches for more than a thousand miles, and is so vast. In fact, for the entire Falcon Empire, it is just a remote corner. Only when you enter the Long Wall can you see the sea. Everything you see along the sea road belongs to the empire. Territory. That’s where the real empire lies!”

Yue Xiner's eyes flashed as she spoke, filled with memories for an instant. A few months ago, the Imperial Capital Annual Meeting. She once followed Yue Shan into the long wall, and then she truly saw the true face of the empire. On the vast and boundless land, various crops were densely planted, the main roads were spacious and impressive, and there was an endless stream of caravans. Cities stand side by side, stretching to A huge city with hundreds of thousands of people, with a huge flow of people, the prosperity of the Imperial Capital is rushing towards you. Zhongbia may have more people than the Imperial Capital, but when it comes to the commercial atmosphere, the dazzling array of shops, and the majesty of the port with white sails like a forest, Zhongbia Ya Di Jing seems a little more extravagant.

Not to mention the aura of the red imperial palace, which is like a sword pointing to the sky, which fully reflects the strength of the entire empire.

In the conference room of the Ministry of Military Affairs, Yue Xiner stared at the decoration, which was almost a full map of the empire that spanned two continents. She saw the Gallic Empire, which had been fighting against Central and Eastern Asia for hundreds of years, and even the three figures above. Less than one percent, Yue Xiner didn't close her mouth for a long time, she was completely shocked by the empire's territory. This is definitely the largest territory so far, and this is definitely the most powerful empire in history! "I don't believe it. Could it be that the empire is bigger than our territory in China?"

Listening to this, Princess Mingyue became angry as a member of the Zhongbia royal family. Danfeng's eyes were full of bloodshot eyes. Although she knew that the empire was powerful, it was only limited to military matters. She knew that the grassland people could not defeat the empire, but she wanted to discuss it. With such a large territory and prosperous political system, Princess Mingyue never believed that the barbarians of the Western Kingdom could compete with the Central Asian Empire!

Yue Xiner didn't argue and rolled her eyes. In the past six months since joining the empire, she had already become accustomed to it. China and Bia may be prosperous, but they are definitely not the real center of the world. If there really is a center of the world, then It must be the Falcon Empire. When you really open your eyes to the world, you will realize how wrong your previous views were.

"The Gallic Empire once had millions of soldiers. The princess should be familiar with it, right?"

"Although I don't care about military matters, I naturally know about the centuries-old conquest between China and Gaul!" Princess Mingyue nodded with a gloomy face. When the Gaul Empire fell, she was still in the imperial capital of China. , although the details are not very clear, I still feel a bit emotional about the fall of this overlord of the Western Continent,

At that time, she didn't understand the cruelty of war. She just felt that a powerful country with millions of troops could be wiped out inexplicably. It was so unbelievable. After experiencing the catastrophe of the Imperial Capital, she realized deeply that the corpses of millions of soldiers lay everywhere. War all over the country is such a tragic thing for a country! The world of mountains of corpses and seas of blood was beyond my comprehension at the time.

"The one who destroyed Gaul was the Empire!"

A wry smile appeared at the corner of Yue Xiner's mouth. She could clearly see the stubborn princess's face suddenly turn pale, and she felt an unknown sense of joy in her heart.

When I first found out about it, I probably had this same expression. Unfortunately, I stupidly pointed to the northern part of the huge map with my finger, and curiously asked how far away from the Gallic Empire it was in the common language of the empire. The officer who received him was probably laughing inside, but he had to explain to himself very seriously, "Miss, the place you are pointing to is Gaul, which is now the empire's Blok province." How embarrassing!

"It only took three years for the empire to destroy Gaul! In the following two years, it destroyed the Southern Conflict Empire, which was similar to the territory of Gaul. Last year, it just conquered Barro in Central Europe and defeated 500,000 Hungarians. In Feishan , the emperor personally killed 300,000 Feishan people, and now half of the entire Western Continent belongs to the empire. "And the wilderness we are in now is just an arc at the top of this continent!"

Yue Xiner decided to educate Her Royal Highness on the basics of science. Regardless of whether Princess Mingyue's moving eyes were so bulging that they were about to burst, she just said very seriously, "So don't ask who Zhongbia and the Empire are anymore." This is even more stupid! If we really talk about strength, if the empire really wants to go to war with China, it may not take three years!

Princess Mingyue's long skirt was fluttering, her chest was rising and falling, she was obviously extremely angry, her eyes were glaring, her hands were clenched, and her strong blue veins were bulging. If the person who said this was not a Central Asian, but an Imperial person , she would slap him in the face even if she risked her life.

"I know that in the heart of the princess, my father and I may not have a good impression. We are from Central Asia, but we joined the empire. In Central Asia, this is called betraying our ancestors and forgetting our ancestors!" Yue Xiner's voice After a pause, there was a hint of coldness on her beautiful face, "But compared to the princess's current situation, my father's behavior of relying on the empire It's not that unacceptable. After all, I fought to the death. At least my father saved me and the family, but that country couldn't even save its own women. As the emperor of Central Asia, he abandoned it. How ironic it is to kill hundreds of thousands of people in the imperial capital and become the victims of the enemy!”

At this moment, "Woooo" a loud horn sound sounded from outside, and then there was a continuous relay of horns, like a drum of air. Immediately, the entire Tianlang Mansion was filled with such horn sounds, and the rain in the sky , it seems that everything suddenly became silent and overwhelming.

"This is!"

Yue Xiner suddenly stood up and looked sharply at the house on the right side of the Tianlang Mansion that had been closed. It was the place where the horn first sounded. The door to Princess Ruitangting's residence, which had never been opened, opened. Ruitang Tingna, dressed in fiery red, came out in uniform, ignoring the drifting wind and rain, like a fire cloud rushing into the white rain curtain, lighting up the vast sky, followed by hundreds of prairie cavalry,

Outside Tianlang Mansion, groups of black appeared in the distance, military flags rolled, and the cold light of the armor could chill people's hearts even from a long distance away. With Yue Xiner and Princess Mingyue stunned, countless prairie cavalry began to Dismount outside Tianlang Mansion,

When the red clouds passed by, the grassland people knelt down one after another like a tidal wave.

"In this world, there are really powerful women who are willing to become men's appendages..." Princess Mingyue murmured in a low voice, and then the entire Tianlang Mansion heard a row of sounds that shook the ground all day long.

"Long live the Khan, long live the princess!" Countless black cavalry spread out like a huge fan, revealing the person in the middle.

The black hair is so unique in the distance. The horse is parked on the earth, as if it is the most powerful master in the world! (To be continued)
