According to Li Yi's Queen's Cultivation Plan, after they completely take over the five states, they should not rush to expand for the time being. With a piece of iron bucket, even if it is against the army of the imperial court, it will have the confidence to contend with it.
It's a pity that things backfired. Chen Qing and Fan Qiao led troops out to take over their new territory early this morning.
A few days ago, some big forces in the surrounding area sent people over, and Wei Liang kindly showed them a military exercise, so as to open their eyes.
Unexpectedly, after opening his eyes, the next day, the overlord of the three states would personally come to surrender, expressing his willingness to fight the world with the princess. They have been dormant and forbearing for many years, just to wait for such an opportunity...
Perhaps they defected from the imperial court in the first place just to wait for such a wise master.
Or maybe it was because, on the day of the military exercise, Wei Liang and the others were not stingy with shells at all. Dozens of red-clothed cannons fired a volley and razed a section of the old city wall of Cangzhou to the ground.
Overnight, the forces they could control in the northwest increased by three more states.
As a result, almost the entire northwest of Wu Kingdom has already fallen into their hands.
Coupled with all kinds of crushing firearms, members of the Holy Cult who have infiltrated the states and capitals are tantamount to winning two kings and four twos in a hand of Landlords. If such a good card is lost, That's really God's will...
"See Your Highness!"
"I have seen Her Royal Highness!"
…
Yang Liuqing's popularity in Cangzhou has reached an unbelievable level. In Cangzhou, there are not a few people who set up longevity tablets for her. Along the way, after seeing her, many people directly knelt down and kowtowed to the ground...
The one who wins the hearts of the people wins the world. If she wants to be emperor, the people of Cangzhou will definitely not have any objections.
Up to now, there are still many common people who come to the princess mansion to deliver things every day.
Sometimes it was a handful of vegetables, sometimes it was a few eggs. When they walked back, there were still a few people in front of the gate of the princess mansion, looking inside the gate of the mansion, only wishing to see the sky of Her Highness the princess.
Seeing this scene, Li Yi felt relieved. Liumeng will continue to grow and develop in Wu State, and temporarily move its headquarters to Wu State. Goulan will gradually be built in the place recovered by them to cooperate with her in completing the unification of thinking. In terms of work and business, there will also be special personnel in charge, which will drive the development of these areas, and the people will remember her goodness more and more when their lives are prosperous.
Now she has completely gained a firm foothold here, and it is time for Li Yi and Ruyi to leave.
In front of the Princess Mansion.
A guard looked at the woman holding the child in front of him, and said, "Sister-in-law, it's not that we don't accept it, it's that we have discipline, and we don't take people's stitches, threads, or eggs..."
"If it weren't for you, our mother and I would have died in the rebellion. The little lady has nothing to repay the princess. Please leave this basket of eggs for peace of mind." The woman said, silently Putting down the basket, hugging the child, turned and left.
The two guards sighed. The people in Cangzhou really like the princess. They have to go through dozens of things like this every day.
Another white-haired old woman stepped forward, holding nothing in her hand, probably to try her luck and want to see the princess.
A guard walked over and said, "Old man, you can go back. Your Highness has just returned to the mansion, so he probably won't be leaving the mansion today..."
The old woman raised her eyes and asked, "Is Princess Duanrong inside?"
The guard looked at her, thinking that the old man had bad ears, so he raised his voice and shouted: "Old man, the princess has just returned home, come back tomorrow!"
The old woman glanced at him and said coldly: "Don't speak so loudly, no one will think you are dumb!"
After saying that, he turned around and left.
The guard looked at her and felt that this old woman was different from other old women. She came here not to see the princess, not even to take an egg...
Inside the princess mansion.
Although He Ruyi and the others were about to leave, there were some important things to tell Yang Liuqing before they left.
This is an independent small courtyard. Li Yi and she sat at the stone table in the courtyard, held up the teacup, moistened their lips, and said: "Your advantage lies in being supported by the people at the bottom, but only the people support you." , is far from enough, they can help you sit in that position, but they can't help you govern the country, in addition, you have to win the support of scholars... "
Before Li Yi finished speaking, he looked up at an old woman who walked into the yard, and stood up.
The Princess Mansion is heavily guarded, and there are many guards at the gate of this small courtyard. Even Wei Liang and Chen Qing need to be notified before they can enter.
It was a strange thing to have a strange old woman appear here.
In particular, she just stood there so casually, but it gave people an extremely dangerous feeling.
The old woman walked into the yard, looked at Li Yi, and asked calmly, "Where is Princess Duanrong?"
Yang Liuqing turned her back to the door, and was about to stand up upon hearing this, when Li Yi walked up to her, put her right hand on her shoulder, pressed down, and asked the old woman, "What are you doing with Her Highness the Princess?"
"Someone asked me to take her life." The old woman said lightly, her figure flickered, her speed increased sharply, and she slapped Yang Liuqing with her palm.
As early as she opened her mouth, Li Yi had already grabbed Yang Liuqing's shoulders, pushed her gently aside, and raised her hands to meet the old woman's palms.
He stomped and stared and backed away a few steps, a look of shock appeared on his face, his chest throbbed with discomfort—this old woman was actually stronger than Yi!
At this time, the old woman had bent her palms into claws and grabbed at his neck.
Two years ago, Li Yi had been able to enter the top 20 of the Tianbang. In two years, because of the turtle's breathing skill, his strength was improving every day, and every time he fought against Bai Su, who had already entered the top five of the Tianbang , The outcome is also between five and five, but it still can't match the old woman's move!
Even if she is not a master, she is extremely close.
Facing her claw, Li Yi stood there with a calm expression.
The old woman's body also stopped, one of her hands was already on the neck of the young man opposite, but she couldn't move an inch further, and she couldn't use any strength, the internal force became extremely obscure and difficult.
Beside her, the young woman put her slender and white hands on her neck, looked at her calmly, and said two words softly.
"Let go."
The old woman let go of the young man's neck, and the young woman let go of her neck.
Her two big acupoints were sealed just now, and her peak martial arts skills can still be used at this time, less than 10%.
This success is not as good as the young man opposite, let alone the young master who sealed her acupoints.
The old woman was tied up by the rushing Bai Su, and Li Yi looked at Ruyi with doubts in his eyes: "Grandmaster?"
Ruyi nodded.
The grand master who used to be aloof seems to be less powerful, Li Yi suddenly has confidence, maybe in this life, he can also touch this level...
As if seeing what he was thinking, Ruyi shook her head and said, "She was injured, and it was not serious. Otherwise, the concubine would not have been able to subdue her so easily."
Li Yi was also a little injured. Looking at the old woman, he thought that he really couldn't believe what Old Xu said. Why is there no other master in Wuguo? Isn't this old lady? If it wasn't for Ruyi today, he and the future queen would be in danger …
It is said that Xu Lao Xu is old, he is still outside, and his voice has already come in from outside the door.
"I heard that you have captured a master, let me see..."
He held a chicken leg in his hand, took a bite, put the chicken leg in his mouth, and walked over quickly.
Halfway there, his body stopped abruptly, his eyes widened, his mouth opened, and the chicken leg he bit into fell to the ground.
Then, his figure gradually faded before Li Yi's eyes, and finally disappeared, leaving only the chicken leg with a bite missing on the ground.
Li Yi stared at this scene with wide eyes until the afterimage disappeared.
Grandmaster strong, so terrifying...
