I really didn't take the emperor of the enemy country as a stand-in

The yellow sand is flying on the desolate plain.A group of people shuttled between the deserted trails, braved the wind and sand, and finally saw the next city in the distance after several treks.And not far outside the city wall, behind a hidden sand dune, many people were busy.

Brand new weapons are being crafted one by one.Everything is in order.

"His Royal Highness is back!"

The busy people put down their work and stepped forward to salute.

Wen Yao jumped off the horse: "Is everything going well?"

"It's all ready according to your instructions. The power of our newly-made flying arrows is three times that of Yan State, and the output has also increased. It is more than enough to capture two cities." The craftsmen said, "And you mentioned last time We have also mass-produced the torch, which can carry ten arrows at a time, and the range has been expanded to half the size of the battlefield. After that, we can also try to directly cross the city wall and attack the city."

"it is good."

Wen Yao turned his head to look at the cowering men on the other side.These men are different in height, short, fat and thin. They look like ordinary scholars, but they are somewhat different from them in charm. They are not good at speech, dull but not rigid.

"You have worked hard."

Those "scholars" replied in fear: "Don't dare to be. The grass-roots have always been ridiculed by their family and neighbors for not doing their job properly, and indulging in strange skills and obscene tricks. It is His Highness who made the grass-roots valuable."

"If things work out in the future, we should set up an Artifact Bureau in addition to the six departments. You will all become pillars of talent. Don't underestimate yourselves."

Those people's eyes were shining brightly, and they became more and more motivated.

Wen Yao inspected around, and as soon as he went out, General Chang came up to him: "Your Highness, what are our plans from now on?"

"Make meritorious deeds and become the overlord."

Wen Yao's articulation was clear and firm.In the dark, there seemed to be an extremely strange call echoing in my ears, and every time I thought of it, my heart would beat harder and harder.

General Chang Xiao was surprised: "You, are you trying to usurp the throne of Nanxin?"

"Nanxin is not the primary goal, and we need to think about it in the long run..."

At this time, a carrier pigeon fluttered down from the sky, Wen Yao's voice stopped, and he immediately raised his hand to catch the pigeon.

When he left Beijing, he asked the informants in the capital to report the situation in the capital every day.Today's letter reads: "Mr. Yan's compensation for Beiyun City has arrived in the capital. There are 1 taels of gold, five emerald jade bracelets, two hundred rolls of high-quality cowhide, and three beauties..."

Beauty, three of you.

The subordinates who wrote the letter seemed to know Wen Yao's concerns, and explained below: "Yan Guojun said that he didn't know Xin Guojun's preference, so he chose three little boys according to the people described in the story."

"story?"

General Chang Xiao who was at the side knew: "Everyone in the world knows that Xin Guojun is a master who deliberately hides his clumsiness, and there are rumors about it. The story of doting on protons when he was still in Xin Guo was the most famous story, and it was spread by word of mouth. Said that Xin Guojun prefers such little boys."

Wen Yao laughed, but he didn't care about the story, his eyes returned to the letter, and his heart tightened.

"Did he accept the beauty?"

It was written on the letter that it was accepted, but more things were not mentioned.

Wen Yao put away the letter and was absent-minded all morning.Sure enough, Zhong Lan had no resistance to this kind of boy, and Yan Guo fell in love with him and hit his heart.

He said to himself, with a greedy light in his eyes: "You can't think about it in the long run."

Now, immediately, he wanted to return to Zhong Lan's side and drive these people away.He wanted his iron cavalry to conquer everything, wanted everyone to admire him, and wanted Zhong Lan to be a conquered part.

It is impossible for Zhong Lang to be without himself.

Between the pupils, the desire for conquest and possession is burning, and in the imagination, Zhong Lan is tied at the very center, which is the source of all his desires and ambitions, and also the lens for his conquest in this life.

In the afternoon, another carrier pigeon landed.

This is the letter Zhong Lang sent him.

Wen Yao took out the letter, thinking that Zhong Lang might have to explain to himself again.He snorted coldly, not giving Zhong Lan any room to explain in his heart.

While thinking, he unfolded the letter and glanced indifferently.

"I entrust three of you."

Wen Yao: "?"

Letter: "In the compensation of the Yan Kingdom, three men were sent. The compensation is for the reconstruction of Beiyun City. These three people need you to send someone to Beiyun City."

What are you sending to Beiyun City?

The second half of the letter: "...Let them move bricks and repair walls."

Wen Yao: "..."

The soreness and unspeakable pain were gone.

This is indeed very similar to what Zhong Lang can do.

He is sometimes elusive, but he has his own thinking system.Wen Yao seemed to be able to imagine Zhong Lang sitting behind the desk writing a letter in a serious manner.

Wen Yao's brows suddenly stretched, his long and narrow eyes half-closed, staring at the piece of paper as if he was sizing up the prey he had marked for a long time.The nameless fire was even more prosperous.He licked his lips.

Suddenly there was a commotion in the distance.The messenger hurried over: "Your Highness, the opportunity has come!"

"What's the matter?"

"Later Tang and Qi, these two countries raised funds everywhere due to the flood last year, and now they are in default of paying their debts to Yan, and they are being suppressed by Yan's army." The messenger was panting, "Their kings ran away with their treasures and weapons. The people who have no power to restrain the chickens in the city are left where they are, waiting for the slaughter of the Yan Kingdom!"

There was a whole row of memorials on Zhong Lan's table, with a serious expression on his face.

"Later Tang and Qi are our allies. In the past two years, although they have gone far from Nanxin, they are still our allies in name. Yan is cruel, and massacres are common in the places where they pass. I don’t want to see blood flow into rivers. The monarchs of the two countries have contacted us, and only by using their troops to return home can we demonstrate the way of a great country.”

However, some ministers disagreed: "Yan Guo treats Nan Xinxu as a snake, but beating a dog doesn't look at the owner. The balance is already delicate at this time, it is better for Nan Xin to intervene less."

Suddenly, an angry slapping sound shook the wooden table as if it was about to fall apart!

The ministers quickly shut up.In the silence, civil and military officials from all courts knelt down one after another.

Zhong Lang was furious like never before: "Since they have fled with money and put the people under the knife of Yan State, they have already given up their responsibility as a monarch. It is okay to send troops to help, but let their royal family go to the sky!"

"Your Majesty is merciful." The ministers all sighed in admiration, "Now our country and the border of Yan are facing each other anxiously, and the generals cannot escape. Which general will be sent for this rescue?"

Zhong Lan was startled, and his eyes fell on the map.Later Tang Dynasty and Qi State were not directly bordered by Nanxin, but the three cities of Zhengdong were the closest.And Wen Yao's departure this time is also to investigate the traces of gunpowder in the three cities of Zhengdong.

"Let the Regent go."

Not half a day after the pigeons were released, Zhong Lan received a reply. Wen Yao said that he was in contact with the generals of the East Three Cities and rushed to the direction of the two countries immediately.

Zhong Lan put down the work in hand wearily.

Once an accident occurs, he must always be tense.Domestic affairs are already overwhelmed, not to mention such an accident.

There was a black spot under his eyes, but he couldn't sleep yet.

However, before Zhong Lang waited for Wen Yao's next report letter, the situation changed.

"The bandits with firearms appeared again last time! This time in the Later Tang Dynasty."

Firearms bandits?Zhong Lan suddenly trembled, sensing something was wrong, and hurriedly asked Wen Yao's progress again.

Wen Yao wrote back: "I expect to arrive in Houtang tonight."

When his reply letter arrived in the capital, the news that the bandits had occupied Houtang also came at the same time.

Someone panicked: "Your Highness arrived late and was caught by these gangsters first, what should we do? Your Majesty, do we need to guard against those people?"

Zhong Lang sat on the spot, but his mind was wandering.He seemed to think of a lot of other things, pursed his lips, and narrowed his eyes.

"Your Majesty? Your Majesty!"

Zhong Lan woke up suddenly, smiled lightly and shook his head: "No, he's not late."

Wen Yao was lying.

He has been vaguely aware of the matter between Tang and Qi since the first time he heard about it, and all of this is moving closer to the plot.In the original book, the beginning of Wen Yao's conquest was when Later Tang and Qi Guojun fled with money.

There is no gunpowder in the original book, and Wen Yao's gold finger is a new type of crossbow.Using new weapons, he occupied and annexed both countries.Although there are differences, the final effect will not change.

The arrow crossbow in the original book was changed to gunpowder.

Therefore, it is Wen Yao who now possesses a weapon that is new to others and occupies the two countries.

There is an invisible hand of fate correcting them, pushing Wen Yao back to the path of hegemony.

"Wen Yao already has gunpowder and a huge team. What will they do after they occupy other countries?"

The answer is obvious.

Annexation, expansion, and hegemony.

"Why did he keep it from me?"

Because of previous misunderstandings and suspicions, Wen Yao no longer trusts him.Nanxin has become his prey and will become a part of him.If not as expected by Zhong Lan, the purpose of Wen Yao's concealment lies with himself.

"What happens when you get caught?"

Seizure, coercion, imprisonment.

Zhong Lan thought for a while, and the nightlife between him and Wen Yao was still very harmonious.

Finally, is he about to usher in the days when he doesn't have to worry about government affairs, can lie down happily, can sleep with his sweetheart every day, and live a stable life?

Zhong Lan's eyes lit up.

I heard that almost all of Yao's methods of governing the country were taught by Zhong Lang, so he must be a more qualified monarch than Zhong Lang.Zhong Lang also thoughtfully sorted out a lot of philosophies about governance, and put them in an unusually conspicuous position in the study.In this way, after being imprisoned, Wen Yao can still take the initiative to study without worrying about himself.

After finishing everything, Zhong Lang lay down peacefully.

When is Wen Yao coming?

That group of bandits seized the lands of the former Tang and Qi states and established themselves as "Luo".

Yan Guo, who was watching covetously nearby, seemed to be a jackal smelling blood, and rushed up fiercely.

Zhong Lang was lying in the garden.The unfinished memorials were placed in a basket and placed on the coffee table at hand, like a hill.Zhong Lan held the memorial with one hand, while reading it, he asked the people around him.

"How is the battle today?"

"Yan Country competes with Luo Country remotely, but after Yan Country is exhausted, Luo Country still has a steady stream of flying arrows."

"The State of Luo is not only rich in firearms, but also has a high level of tactics. The State of Yan can't advance at all."

Zhong Lan closed the memorial with satisfaction: "Not bad. It seems that he will soon gain a firm foothold, expand his territory, and finally sneak into the Nanxin Palace to take my throne."

Minister: "What?"

"It's nothing."

At this time, a soldier came over with an envelope: "Your Majesty, Your Highness has sent a letter."

The letter read: "The situation is difficult to intervene now, and we have already retreated."

Zhong Lan clicked his tongue, as if he was helpless at Wen Yao's still putting on a show.

Do you think I don't know that Luo Guo is your handwriting?

Quickly tear off the mask and come here fiercely.
