The demon world I designed

"Princess, aren't you going back yet?"

On the bustling streets of Liuzhou, the palace maid Yun Niang followed closely behind Xiao Mingxue, while Xiao Mingxue wandered here and there like a curious baby. Seeing that it was almost dark, the palace maid had to hurry up.

"Time flies so fast." The bright Xiao Mingxue looked at the sky. Although it is winter now, the days are short and the nights are long, and it gets dark faster, but she went out for a walk before noon. Why does it feel like this time? Like flying over?

The palace maid couldn't help but roll her eyes: "Princess like this, it takes a long time to ask for every new thing. There are so many new things in Jiangnan, how can you, Princess, have enough time?"

"Are you curious?" Xiao Mingxue stuck out her tongue and smiled mischievously, making the palace maid stunned.

After awakening his bloodline, this ancestor originally became extremely cold, but in the past few days since he came to Jiangnan, it was as if the ice and snow had melted, as soft as the spring rain, and from time to time he would reveal the naughtiness that a girl should have.

The palace maid felt soft in her heart.

She originally wanted to follow the princess to the south of the Yangtze River, and then find a local scholar or school captain to marry, so that she could quit her job of serving people as soon as possible.

But now, after a few days, she is becoming more and more reluctant to part with him. Such bright beads exude such a soft light. How can a woman like her be willing to part with them?

But it’s no wonder His Highness is in such a good mood every day.

The palace maid looked at the sky that seemed to have been washed and took a deep breath. Compared with the ghostly capital, this place was completely the opposite. She had lived in the capital for so many years and had never seen such a place. The vendor who serves fried scallion pancakes looks cheerful every day, and the people here are always smiling.

It almost doesn’t take much searching to know that the people here are living a good life.

Only when you live a good life can you have such a full spirit, such a gentle smile, such a place with very little violence, coupled with the picturesque and prosperous scenery, this is not a paradise, this is simply a prosperous paradise. .

"Your Highness, the days are still long. You can come here every day if you want to go shopping. If you don't go back now, the old lady will be worried again."

When she heard about the old lady, Xiao Mingxue smiled sheepishly. Before she came, she had been thinking about how to get along with Chen Qing's old mother. According to the information, Chen Qing was raised by her mother, so her mother's status was naturally very high. , if someone is difficult to get along with, how can one tolerate and make do with it?

But it turned out that I was overly worried. The old lady didn't have so many rules, and was even quite enthusiastic. She asked for help, as if she was afraid that she would run away. Although it was a bit exaggerated, I have to say that Xiao Mingxue liked to deal with her like this.

There is no identity, just an old mother who is looking forward to her son having a baby as soon as possible, and a shy daughter-in-law who is just starting out.

"That's right. When my mother went out, she also said that she would make duck soup tonight, so we couldn't keep her waiting." After saying that, she hurried back to the road.

The palace maid followed behind, smiling slightly. His Highness has lost his mother, and his personality has become much more lonely. The old lady's enthusiasm and greetings are all sincere, which just makes up for what was originally lost in His Highness's heart. She can live so happily now, Old Lady. My wife accounts for a big reason.

What a lucky little girl.

Neither of them noticed that behind them, there was a young man in white who had been following him just now. This young man was none other than the City God of the Yin Division in Liuzhou: Wei Gongcheng.

Looking at Xiao Mingxue who was hurriedly returning home, Wei Gongcheng nodded slightly, turned around and suddenly arrived at Liuzhou Mansion Office.

He didn't follow it intentionally, but happened to see it just now, so he observed it.

To be honest, when he heard that Xiao Mingxue had awakened the Golden Crow bloodline, he was quite worried. As long as the Xiao family has awakened the bloodline, they are basically ambitious people. Now that the situation in Liuzhou is sensitive, she is a new mistress. Interfering with something powerful may cause unnecessary trouble.

Especially Chen Ying.

The military is impossible, and the best thing to start with is actually Chen Ying's status and resources in the academy. But in Wei Gongcheng's view, Chen Ying has done an excellent job, and the dean of the academy is himself a top warlock. It's very important. If Xiao Mingxue wants to be thoughtful, it will be really troublesome.

Because once political affairs involve the Lord's family affairs, foreign ministers will be extremely embarrassed.

In the government office, Chen Qing had been waiting in the lobby for a long time. Wei Gongcheng took a look at it and Wei Wei was slightly startled. The seven major underworld officials were all here. The discussion this time was probably not a trivial matter!

"Wei Gongcheng is here, take a seat." Chen Qing casually pointed to the seat.

Wei Gongcheng saluted, then sat down where the other person pointed, and looked around, feeling slightly complicated.

Three years ago, I was still a lieutenant general under Yuchi Peng. Although he was said to be a lieutenant general, in fact everyone knew that he was just a slave of the same family. Especially after he was deposed, when he stayed in the Yuchi family, he would even be treated as a regular family member. The slave despises.

Even if he hadn't been crippled back then, in the end, in the eyes of many big shots, he would have been just a capable domestic slave, right?

Three years ago, this young man came to him to recruit him, promising to give him something that the Yuchi family could not give him. At that time, he just wanted to escape from the Yuchi family and not be dependent on anyone else. His original plan was to go to Jiangnan and find any excuse. Leave to fend for yourself.

But he didn't expect that in just a few years, this young man would realize everything he promised back then.

Looking around, he saw that his equals were all important figures that he could only look up to before. Mr. Shen and Mr. Shen, which one of these people was not as high as the Nine Ministers of the Imperial Court?

Ziyue, and the ancient royal family Ao Zhen, have never discriminated against him when getting along with him. Although his eyes are dull, it is precisely because of this that he sits up straight, because he does not know when, in the eyes of the other party, he also They are all the same people.

He is the City God of Liuzhou Yinsi, ranking first among the seven major Yinsi, and a person who all the wealthy families in the capital are trying to fawn over!

"Everyone is here, let's talk about the current situation first." Chen Qing coughed lightly and said: "In the past six months, the Central Plains has begun to have obvious turmoil. The power of demons in the world has expanded, and the capital's control over the Central Plains has become weaker and weaker. The latest news is that the capital has even withdrawn its academic administration from various places, and even quietly withdrawn many troops, apparently intending to give up clearing some areas. "

"Give up?" Others were fine, but Wei Gongcheng, who grew up in the prosperous Jin Dynasty, still couldn't react for a while.

He never thought that one day Dajin would voluntarily give up its territory.

"It's normal. Today is different from the past. There must be choices in the capital." Chen Qing pointed to the ground, and a huge map appeared on the ground.

"The Central Plains is extremely huge. Even if we lose the north and the four seas, its territory is ten times larger than that of the south of the Yangtze River. Such a huge territory, under the current situation, requires sufficient military power and sorcerers to maintain law and order. The current royal family has already done this. Not here”

Wei Gongcheng looked at the map and after thinking for a moment, he understood the reason.

I suddenly understood why the Lord spent countless resources to maintain such a huge force in a land the size of Jiangnan!

The ratio of soldiers in Jiangnan is definitely beyond my common sense. The scale of the Dou Shen Army is now over one million, and the Western Navy is now approaching 300,000, not to mention the door guards in major cities and the mountain guards in the mountains. .

Taking Liuzhou as an example, there are already more than 50,000 resident gatekeepers in Liuzhou. As Daqingshan is the largest granary and agricultural experimental base in Liuzhou, the full complement of mountain guards is now approaching 10,000.

In the past, the Jin Dynasty did not even dare to think that it would take ten thousand soldiers to guard a mountain?

But yesterday, after hearing the news about an insect monster attack in Qinghe Four Volumes, killing and injuring millions of people, he immediately understood the Lord's arrangement.

In today's era, if we don't have enough military power, how can we maintain this prosperous age?

The number of troops before the Jin Dynasty was naturally able to defend the territory of the Jin Dynasty, but it is different now. The strength of demons has expanded, and there are more and more large-scale demon incidents. As a result, the main cities in various states are now not very safe. Rich businessmen fled to the capital one after another.

Under such circumstances, the imperial court had no choice but to shrink its troops, because if they spread their troops further, nothing could be defended.

Reducing the number of troops can at least ensure the safety of the capital and surrounding important cities. But if the number of troops is further dispersed and there is no peace within the capital, the royal family will lose all prestige.

"I have called you here to discuss two things today." Chen Qing said: "First, whether to expand the territory, and second, whether we want to enter the Northern Wilderness!"
