In the morning of the next morning, the emperor announced that Luozhou magistrate's strict rule was not strict, and that he had enriched his own pockets by embezzling money to build the dam, which almost caused irreversible consequences. The principal culprit was immediately beheaded, implicating nine ethnic groups, and was dismissed from office and his property was confiscated. .

The ministers felt the emperor's thunderous wrath, and they were all in panic and did not dare to say anything until news of the Liangcheng Iron Mine came.

Seeing His Majesty finally showing a smile, before the ministers had time to take a breath, someone reported again: "Your Majesty, urgent report from the border, the Huns are invading!"

The atmosphere suddenly became very tense.

The ministers angrily scolded the Xiongnu for not following the rules and breaking the alliance without permission. The emperor waited until they had scolded them enough before asking: "How do you think we should respond?"

A tall official with a majestic appearance emerged from the crowd: "You dare to offend the power of Great Xia, Your Majesty, I invite you to fight!"

However, there were immediate objections from civil servants: "Going to war is a waste of money and people. In my opinion, it is better to send envoys to lobby for peace talks first."

His opinion was quickly agreed with by many people, and some people suggested: "The Xiongnu and our Daxia territory are adjacent, and any disputes will be troublesome for both parties. If we can have good relations for generations, it will be a good deal, so why not get married?" .”

The emperor did not express his opinion. After they talked for a few times, he turned his attention to the ministers: "Third brother, what do you think?"

Rong Yan was very surprised when he was suddenly named. Although he had been allowed to go to court since he turned fourteen, he was basically a transparent person. It was the first time that he was named by the emperor like this.

He had thought about this problem just now, so he talked eloquently: "Your Majesty, Mr. Chen is right. The Xiongnu and our territory of Daxia are close to each other. If they fight like this from time to time, it will indeed be troublesome for the country and the people. .”

Mr. Chen was about to show a proud look when he heard him say: "So my son is in charge of the battle and will subdue them until they dare not invade my Daxia territory again."

"We in Great Xia believe in peace, but now that foreign enemies are invading us, it would be cowardly to give in anyway."

"Suggesting peace is an act of the weak, and the Huns must ask for it."

The emperor raised his eyebrows: "Well said."

"We, the great country of Daxia, are asking for peace?" He slapped the dragon case: "This is simply ridiculous!"

The minister who had just proposed this opinion did not dare to raise his head in fear. The general who stood up first asked for orders again: "Your Majesty, I ask for orders to go to war!"

The emperor nodded, and just when the ministers thought he was going to agree with General Chu's words, he said: "I understand General Chu's intention, but I have other things for you to do."

Then, his eyes fell on Rong Yan: "I heard from Taifu that you, third brother, are quite talented in marching and forming formations?"

In the early morning of that day, the emperor issued two main decrees. One was how to deal with the Luozhou embankment incident, and the other was to ask the third prince Rong Yan to take 100,000 elite troops to the border to repel the Huns.

On the way back, Rong Yan and Xiao Ran had many speculations about the reason why the emperor asked them to rush back to the capital, but no one thought about it.

Xiao Ran was so angry that he didn't even want to eat: "What is your bastard father thinking? How old are you? Are you going to go to the battlefield now?"

Rong Yan comforted her: "Aunt Xiao, I heard that you were only fifteen years old when you first went to war?"

Xiao Ran glared at him: "You brat, can this be the same?"

Rong Yan served her a bowl of soup: "I know that there have been military generals in the Xiao family for generations. Aunt Xiao, you also grew up under the guidance of successive generals. Even if you go on an expedition for the first time, you will not be outdone by others."

He smiled and said, "But I was also taught step by step by General Xiao, the best in the history of the Xiao family. Famous teachers produce great disciples. It's just a little Xiongnu invasion. How can I be intimidated?"

Xiao Ran flicked his forehead, and Rong Yan gave her another dish with chopsticks.

"Aunt Xiao, I am no longer a child."

"Besides, my father has obviously made a decision a long time ago. Instead of worrying, why not teach me another set of marksmanship?"

This was serious business. Xiao Ran finished the meal and drank the soup three times, and at the urging of her husband, she endured half an hour of digestion time, and then immediately went to Rong Yan to practice shooting.

When she arrived, she happened to see Rong Yan releasing the carrier pigeon: "Is it for Yun'er, or is it for the little girl?"

Rong Yan's blushing face was not very obvious in the moonlight: "You have to talk to her."

He looked in the direction of Fuyuan Village: News from Master Chen and Master Shen has been sent, and the dam repair is going very smoothly, so Fuyuan Village where Xiaoxiao is located should be safe, right?

What will she be doing at this time? Are you fishing for shrimps or researching new dishes?

Xiaoxiao was invited to attend the celebration banquet. Master Chen strongly asked her to celebrate the end of the crisis together and firmly prohibited her from cooking.

"After being tired for so many days, it's time to take a rest."

Xiaoxiao glanced at her apprentice Fu Rong, who had a dull face and clearly didn't come voluntarily, and sat down happily.

But Furong said that neither her boss nor Mr. Chen had any sympathy for her, so she entered the kitchen quickly. Mr. Chen took Xiaoxiao to complete the inauguration ceremony of the dam, and calculated the time to go back just in time to start dinner.

When the diversion channel was withdrawn and the water flowed towards the dam again, everyone's hearts were raised, for fear of another change, but at this moment, a reminder sounded in Xiaoxiao's mind -

[Congratulations to the host for completing the hidden mission—Ze Bei Cangsheng. Due to his outstanding contribution, he received 100,000 bonus points! 】

[The current total points are 168800. Do you want to upgrade? 】

That was necessary. She was still waiting to take a look at the mysterious door hiding the reward when she upgraded to twenty.

[Upgrade successful, current space level, eleven. 】

[The flow rate of farmland time has been upgraded. The current flow rate is eleven times the speed! 】

[The flow rate of the pasture has been upgraded. The current flow rate is eleven times the speed! 】

[The time flow rate of the water area has been upgraded. The current flow rate is eleven times the speed! 】

[The current adjustable speed of Time House is plus or minus eleven times! 】

[Range control ability upgraded! 】

[Space redemption mall categories updated. 】

[Get new function, space projection, the projection range is 11*11. 】

[The current total points are 68,800. 】

Sure enough, it would be good to open more shops, and the points would go up by themselves.

Xiaoxiao was in a good mood and rushed into the cheering crowd and started celebrating too. It would be great if her little brother was here when she was so happy. Thinking about this, she lay down in the carriage again and went back to Fuyuan Village with regret.

Master Chen specially sent someone to escort him back home this time. When the workers returning home he met along the way saw the familiar carriage, they would also wave and say hello in a friendly way. Unknowingly, Xiaoxiao woke up. When I opened the curtain, I saw the familiar courtyard.

When he opened the door, the first thing he saw was a walnut with a sad face and a scarf with tarnished fur.

Only the eldest brother, who leaves early and comes home late, is at home. Thank God that they don't starve to death. Of course, they can't eat and drink as well as they did when Xiaoxiao was here. So when they saw the owner of Qinqizhen coming back, they both showed great enthusiasm.
