Returning to Jingbei Hou Mansion, looking at the busy servants and Tianyi, Xian Lianchen and Luo Xiang who were sitting in the hall chatting, Haotian suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of relief in his heart, and there was also a slight smile on his face.
A smile.
"Why is my lord so happy?" Luo Xiang asked with a smile. It could be seen that he was chatting happily with Tianyi just now, so the smile on his face was completely from the heart.
Haotian laughed: "It's nothing, I just feel that there is a sense of home here, so I feel very comfortable. To Tiandu Shengjing, I have always been just a passerby, and my home has always been in the Hetao.
My roots have always been in Dingzhou, but when I stayed here, I felt particularly at ease."
"One day when the lord becomes the true master of this place, the lord will no longer have such thoughts." Luo Xiang also laughed, and when Xian Lianchen heard this, he frowned at first, but quickly unfolded
Got a smile.
Haotian did not delve into the meaning of Luo Xiang's words. He patted his head and then asked: "I wonder what you were talking about just now, why are you so happy?"
"You don't know something, husband. Just now, the eldest sister was talking about my husband's past when you were young. She was talking about something interesting, so I and your husband both laughed heartily." Xian Lianchen replied with a smile.
Haotian's face turned slightly red, and he said with some embarrassment: "Everyone has a time when they are young and ignorant, and God's will is true for you. This has been going on for many years, why are you talking about it?"
Tianyi smiled disapprovingly: "Husband, what you said is wrong. Since Lianchen has married into the Hou family, it is naturally necessary to get familiar with your husband's temperament and past events. Otherwise, how will you serve your husband in the future?" As soon as these words came out?
, a blush suddenly appeared on Xian Lianchen's face. Although everyone here was not an outsider, she also understood that this matter could not be kept secret for long, but she was still a little shy when she heard this.
"Okay, Tianyi, please stop making trouble. Didn't you see that Lianchen's face is red?" Haotian happily squeezed Tianyi's little hand and then said to Xian Lianchen: "Lianchen, why don't you go before today?"
Come on, is there something wrong?"
When it came to business, Xian Lianchen's face also became serious: "Last night, after the leader agreed to my husband's request, he immediately sent a letter to the congregation everywhere, and the elders in the main altar also quickly took action.
.If nothing else happens, most of the senior leaders of the sect will arrive in Dingzhou within five days, and the first batch of supplies from my sect will also arrive at the same time. My lord may not know yet, but in this first batch of supplies, there are also
There are 40,000 of the finest war horses. These war horses are all produced on the bloody plateau of Qingning Road. They are particularly outstanding in terms of leg strength and waist strength. In view of the fact that there are no outstanding masters around my husband, I teach
It will take at least half a month for the one thousand most elite disciples to be assembled, so the master specially ordered me to come here to protect my husband’s safety.”
Xian Lianchen's words immediately made Haotian extremely happy, especially the 40,000 war horses mentioned in her words, which made Haotian so excited that he forgot about other things. The quality of the horses on the Bloody Plateau has always been the highest.
Unparalleled in the world, and in order to ensure their absolute advantage in the cavalry, the Scarlet Clan on the Scarlet Plateau, in addition to providing a certain number of war horses to the court every year, Haotian has never heard of the war horses on the Scarlet Plateau being sold out in bulk.
However, despite being excited, Haotian quickly regained his superior's calmness and wisdom: "The war horses on the Bloody Plateau never leak out. How did you, Lianchen, obtain such a huge batch of war horses?"
Xian Lianchen smiled slightly: "The saint of the Bloody Plateau, the contemporary patriarch Xue Qingcheng, is my only sister since she was a child. Her status in the Bloody Plateau is unmatched by anyone, and she is also the imperial conferred Princess Qingcheng.
, with her help, this matter will naturally be much smoother. However, her 40,000 war horses are not just for my concubine's sake. They are now facing the provocation of Rouran in the northwest and the threat of the Sashan Dynasty in the west.
, the dynasties in Nan Youluo are ready to make a move, and it can be said that they are enemies on three sides. And my husband, you are now sitting on one side, with more than 200,000 soldiers under your command, so they naturally hope to maintain a good relationship with you, my husband."
Haotian raised his eyebrows: "She is actually a princess granted by the imperial court. What on earth is going on?"
Luo Xiang said with a smile: "This is the practice of the imperial court. Although Qingning Road is located in the western border and has a sparse population, they have been loyal to the Qingfeng royal family for three hundred years, and they also have Qingfeng's best war horses and the most elite
The cavalry, and Emperor Taizu had a legacy, so in order to win over them, the court would always grant the title of princess to each of their saints, the patriarchs."
Haotian nodded: "So that's the case, that's not surprising. By the way, Lianchen, you said that they are now surrounded by enemies on three sides, can you elaborate in more detail? Isn't the Luoxue Dynasty a vassal state of our Qingfeng? Are they
Do you want to be as rebellious as Jinhua and Mitsukoshi?"
Xian Lianchen smiled bitterly, while Luo Xiang curled his lips and said: "In recent decades, Qingfeng's national power has continued to decline. Especially after the fall of Hebei's Fifth Route and the failure of the Northern Expedition, the national power dropped to the level of Jianguo
The lowest point since. The surrounding vassal countries have already had different intentions. The Jinhua and Mitsukoshi Allied Forces in the south were the first to take action, followed by the Uma Dynasty. Although Goryeo has not made any move, no one knows what their next step will be.
.The Luoxue Dynasty in the southwest is limited by the situation. Although they have treacherous intentions, they only dare to explore the idea of attacking the Bloody Plateau."
Haotian's eyebrows were tightly knitted together: "The terrain of the Bloody Plateau is dangerous and the climate is extremely harsh. Except for the place bordering Yizhou Road on the east where the slope is slightly gentle, the other three sides are dangerous mountainous areas that are easy to defend but difficult to attack. If it is really
Let other forces occupy the Bloody Plateau. Not only can they not overlook Yizhou Road from a high position, but they can also march eastward along the river to attack the three major families and attack our Qingfeng hinterland. There are basically few good horses south of the river. If Qingning
If there is a mistake, our Qingfeng cavalry will inevitably fall into a desperate situation, and the consequences will be disastrous."
"What your husband said is absolutely true." Tianyi nodded: "I believe that the ministers in the court have seen this, but now Qingfeng has no soldiers to control, so we have to let it run wild. Besides, the ministers may also hope
After other forces occupy the Bloody Plateau, they can contain the power of the Song family on Yizhou Road to reduce the pressure on Qingfeng."
Xian Lianchen looked around and saw that there was no one else in the hall except the four of them. Then he hesitated and said: "Husband, if we have enough troops and can help defend the Bloody Plateau, not only can we get the best in the world, but
War horses, and you can also plot against Jiayuguan. My husband probably doesn’t know that although Jiayuguan stands in the lofty mountains, the terrain is extremely dangerous, and it just strangles the key point of the eternal trade route. But Jiayuguan is not indestructible, from the Bloody Plateau
Heading northwest in the hinterland, there is a road that leads to the most majestic southern city wall of Jiayuguan. Although the Rouran Cavalry has occupied Jiayuguan, it is expected that they, foreigners, are not aware of the existence of this road."
"Oh, then how did you know?" Haotian asked strangely.
"This is what Qingcheng told me. This is one of the top secrets of the Bloody Plateau. No one except the Saint and the four elders knows about it. When Emperor Taizong built Jiayuguan, he considered the situation if Jiayuguan fell.
, so a retreat was specially prepared. However, more than two hundred years have passed, and this secret passage has never been used, so everyone has forgotten its existence."
Haotian sighed: "Although this news is useful to us, there is nothing we can do now. With our current military strength, there is simply no way to take care of it. If they can delay it for two or three years and let us save our strength, we will
I can help."
Xian Lianchen said with a smile: "Don't you, husband, have any thoughts about the Bloody Plateau? If your husband can really win the hearts and minds of the millions of people on the Bloody Plateau, then my lord will immediately get an invincible cavalry that dominates the world. And where is it?
There is also a snow girl who is as beautiful as a fairy. If the lord can win her heart, then maybe the entire Bloody Plateau can become her dowry."
Haotian said angrily: "Don't sow discord here. I already have God's will and you, a naughty little girl, how can I dare to seek beauty and beauty? The reason why I care about the Bloody Plateau is just because it is there
It is the land of Qingfeng. Although the Blood clan on the Scarlet Plateau are not direct descendants of our China, they are deeply influenced by the culture of our China. As early as a thousand years ago, they have been culturally and substantively assimilated into our China dynasty. And
The surrounding vassal countries are different. They have always been loyal subjects of my great empire. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are a branch of my Chinese people. If I send troops to help, it is only because of state affairs, because they are my subjects of the great empire.
No other ideas."
Xian Lianchen's face suddenly turned red. She had no idea that Haotian had such thoughts in his heart, nor did she expect that Haotian would speak so directly. She had never gotten along with Haotian before, and had never encountered such a situation.
Something happened, and I was suddenly embarrassed and didn’t know what to do.
When Tianyi saw this situation, he quickly helped Xian Lianchen to vent his anger and said: "Hey, why are you so angry? Lianchen is not thinking about you. Even if it is not what you want, he is also kind-hearted. You are good, I can't help but say
I just taught him a lesson!" In the entire Hetao Six Prefectures, she is probably the only one who dares to speak in such a tone to this veritable Hetao Emperor, and Haotian will not be angry after hearing this. Although Luo Xiang, Xuanji and others are
Haotian respects the person very much, but when talking to Haotian, he will try his best to consider his tone. There is only God's will, there will be no scruples and no need to worry about any occasion.
Sure enough, Haotian immediately put on a smiling face, smiled at Xian Lianchen and said, "Lianchen, my tone was too strong just now, it was my fault, you must not take it to heart."
Xian Lianchen was naturally flattered, with a look of panic on her face, but secretly sighing in her heart. It was not that she didn't know the status of God's will in Haotian's heart, but she didn't expect that God's will had such a great influence on Haotian. It seemed that,
In the future, as long as Tianwu Xinghe can find the right backer of God, as long as Tianwu Xinghe does not have any different aspirations, he will be able to rest easy in the future. It’s just that Haotian attaches great importance to God’s will. If something unexpected happens to God’s will, Xian Lianchen really can’t imagine it.
What will happen to Haotian?
Although she was thinking this in her heart, Xian Lianchen still said with fear: "Husband, why is this? Since I am my husband's concubine, I should naturally put my husband first. I just made a mistake and I hope my husband will not blame me."
.”
When Tianyi heard this, he also gave Haotian a hard look: "Look, how scared you are of Miss Lianchen! It's so kind that you don't get rewarded." He turned around and said to Xian Lianchen: "Lianchen
Sister, you don’t have to be like this. In fact, after you stay for a long time, you will understand that your husband is such a straightforward person. He will be so direct to those close to you. You don’t want your husband to treat you like an outsider.
