Liu Mingzhi withdrew his gaze from looking at the clear sky, and looked at Ren Qingrui's somewhat confused pretty face.
"Hehehe, they are the ones!"
"Ah? What? No, Da Guoguo, what kind of riddle are you trying to solve?"
Ren Qingrui's already confused expression became even more confused after hearing Young Master Liu's words.
So they are just them? Is this the same thing?
Liu Mingzhi pursed his lips gently and glanced calmly at everything around them.
The streets are lined with shops, with stalls selling non-stop vendors, pedestrians coming and going, and merchants passing through.
Everything was taken into consideration by Master Liu one by one.
"Hey, Brother Wei is talking about them!"
Ren Qingrui frowned slightly and instinctively followed Young Master Liu's gaze to observe the surroundings.
However, except for the pedestrians coming and going, as well as the various shops and vendors on the long street, Ren Qingrui did not see anything special.
What is it?
Who are these people Da Guoguo is talking about?
Could it be that there are some special characters among the common people coming and going around the two of them?
Ren Qingrui murmured to herself, raised her hand to lift the gauze in front of her eyes, and looked at the passers-by curiously.
It's a pity that my eyes are almost sore, and I can't see anything wrong with these people.
Ren Qingrui closed her eyes, blinked hard a few times, which made my eyes sore, put down the gauze under the bamboo hat, and walked directly towards Young Master Liu.
Raising her hand to grab Young Master Liu's palm and shaking it a few times, Ren Qingrui said in a sweet voice: "Oh, Daguoguo, sister, my eyes are sore and I can't see anything.
Daguoguo, please stop playing riddles for me, please tell me quickly who they are you are talking about?"
Liu Mingzhi chuckled and nodded, holding the horse's rein and walking forward directly.
"Hey, hey, Daguoguo, why did you leave just as you said? You haven't told me who they are yet?"
"It's not convenient to talk here. Let's talk while walking."
"Okay, Da Guoguo, please walk slowly and wait for me to spread the medicine. Don't you know I'm carrying a medicine basket on my back?"
The two of them walked about seventy or eighty steps together. Liu Mingzhi suddenly glanced sideways at Ren Qingrui, who was walking side by side with him, and raised his finger to point to the alleyway a dozen steps away.
"Girl."
"Hey, how's it going?"
"Can the alley in front lead to the main street?"
"of course."
"Okay, then let's go through this alley."
"Okay, I'll listen to Da Guoguo."
The two of them walked into the alley. Ren Qingrui observed the environment in the alley through the gauze in front of her, and immediately moved towards Young Master Liu.
"Da Guoguo, not many people are passing by in the alley. Now you can tell me who they are you have been talking about just now, right?"
Liu Mingzhi casually put the horse's rein on Feng Xing's neck, and then took off the wine bag from his waist.
"Girl, didn't you already see everything when you were on the street just now?"
Ren Qingrui lifted up the gauze in front of her and looked at Young Master Liu with a puzzled expression.
"What? Sister, I have already seen it? Why didn't I know how to tell it?"
Liu Mingzhi took a few sips of wine and turned his eyes to glance at Ren Qingrui, who had a surprised expression.
"Oh, girl!"
"Huh? How's it going? Da Guoguo, what are you doing when you sigh suddenly?"
Liu Mingzhi blinked his eyes several times with a melancholy expression, then raised the wine bag again and took a few sips of wine.
"Three years ago, for my brother, I sent an army of 400,000 elite troops who had experienced hundreds of battles, and marched thousands of miles to conquer the barbarians of the two countries of Tianzhu.
In addition to the 400,000 elite troops who had experienced hundreds of battles, there were tens of thousands of auxiliary soldiers accompanying them on their thousands-mile expedition.
Around the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, for my brother, I sent another hundred thousand young soldiers at that time to the Western Yi land thousands of miles away.
In order to ensure the food and fodder for the 100,000 main battle troops, tens of thousands of auxiliary soldiers went on the expedition together.
Not counting the elite soldiers and horses of the Western Region Protectorate, the hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers and horses mobilized by the countries in the Western Region, and a large number of auxiliary troops.
Just the troops and horses in our three palaces, Dalong Neifu, Beifu, and Xinfu, already number 500,000 to 600,000."
"What? In just a few years, the imperial court alone has sent out 500,000 to 600,000 soldiers and horses for expeditions?"
"Yes, just for the three main prefectures in our Dalong Pass, there have been five to six hundred thousand elite soldiers who have gone on thousands of miles of expeditions for the country in the past few years.
If we add the elite cavalry of the Western Region Protectorate and the elite soldiers and horses of the Western Region countries.
There are already a million troops, or more.
In other words, in just a few years, under the orders of my brother, a million troops have left their homes and gone on an expedition to the barbarians thousands of miles away.
Girl, there are a million troops!"
"Daguoguo, isn't this great?
In just a few years, millions of troops can sacrifice their lives and shed blood on expeditions for the country, which is enough to illustrate the strength and prosperity of our Great Dragon Kingdom.
Daguoguo, as the king of a country, shouldn't you be proud to see this? Are you happy?
Why...why do you still sigh with melancholy?"
"Yes, as a king of a country, I should feel excited and happy to have millions of soldiers sacrifice their lives and shed their blood on expeditions for the country.
As you said just now, girl, this alone demonstrates the great power of our dragon.
But...but..."
"But what is it?"
Liu Mingzhi wiped the drink from the corner of his mouth with his fingers and sighed with a low expression.
"But, girl, you are talking about the family members of this million-strong army.
How many Xue Ning'er will there be?"
"Huh? What do you mean? How many Sister Ning'er are there..."
Ren Qingrui stopped midway through her questioning words.
Turning to look at Young Master Liu, Ren Qingrui stared at his downcast expression for a long time, seeming to understand something.
"Da Guoguo, my sister knows what you just said about them.
It does not refer to certain individuals, but to the families of hundreds of thousands of expedition soldiers.
Right?"
Liu Mingzhi took a sip of the drink, then raised his hand and patted Ren Qingrui's shoulder with a sad expression.
"Girl, the poor bones by the Wuding River are like those in a spring boudoir dream!"
Ren Qingrui stared blankly at Liu Mingzhi who was sighing, and the playful expression on his pretty face gradually disappeared.
After a long silence with a worried look on her face, she raised her hand and tugged on Young Master Liu's sleeve.
"Da Guoguo, sister Ning'er...she just wanted to ask her brother-in-law when he could come back home, she had no other intention.
Sister, I know Sister Ning'er, please stop thinking so wildly.
For the sake of my little sister, can you please stop being like her?"
Young Master Liu heard the worry in Ren Qingru's words and shook his head with a wry smile.
"Hehehe, girl, what are you thinking about?"
"I...I'm just worried that Daguoguo will...you will..."
