With his hands behind his back, he ate a melon, and the country's fortune soared.

Chapter 556 Coming out of seclusion

Time flies, Qianqian has stayed in his own space for three whole years.

During this period, Daxia also underwent earth-shaking changes.

Soon after Xiao Ying reorganized Yaojiang, the countries of Buding, Xi and Quanying repeatedly invaded the border of Daxia.

Although the three kingdoms did not gain any benefits, this move still made Xiao Ying very angry.

So after Qian Qian left the border, he received news that Xiao Ying was reorganizing his army and preparing to deal with the many small countries on the border of Daxia.

Qian Qian has hardly been involved in government affairs in the past three years. At this moment, he is stroking a jade bracelet with excellent water content and a wooden hairpin made of a tree root that looks quite spiritual.

[Tongzi, why didn't Xiao Ying directly attack the Kingdom of Buding, the Kingdom of Xi, and the Kingdom of Dog Eagle? ]

The system answered Qian Qian's questions, "Well, that's because those small border countries of Daxia want to have the best of both worlds."

[On the one hand, he licked Daxia's boots, and on the other hand, he joined forces with the three countries to stir up trouble on Daxia's border.]

[This two-faced behavior can gain benefits from Daxia and the three countries.]

[These small border countries of Daxia really need to be dealt with. 】

Qian Qian raised his eyebrows and nodded, sneering repeatedly, [Ying'er is indeed born to be an emperor. She first cleaned up those dishonest small countries on the border of Daxia. ]

[The next step is to unify the world? 】

【Hahahaha,】The system laughed, 【With Ying'er's ambition, that's not impossible.】

Qian Qian nodded and put the jade bracelet and the tree root wooden hairpin into the space.

After tidying up his appearance, he walked out of Fengqi Palace.

Xiao Ying was discussing matters with the young generals in the imperial book when a secret guard came hurriedly to report, "Your Majesty."

Xiao Ying glanced at the secret guards and reached out to stop the generals who wanted to avoid him. "What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, Madam Xiao has come out of confinement."

Old Madam Xiao was a little stunned when she heard this name Xiao Ying.

When she remembered who this referred to, her eyes sparkled and she looked at the generals present, "We will discuss the follow-up matters tomorrow."

"Yes."

The young generals bowed and left the imperial study. As they walked out of the palace together, they met an old lady with a delicate face and extraordinary temperament.

The old woman was wearing a dark blue dress and her white hair was tied up high.

The bun was held together only by a silk ribbon and without any jewelry.

The old woman had fair skin and a stunning appearance, and she walked with such imposing aura that people couldn't help but give way and dared not act rashly.

Judging from the old woman's appearance, she looks like she is over 50 years old, but her eyes are so deep that it is difficult to judge her age based on her appearance alone.

However, her appearance is 70% similar to that of the Emperor, which makes people speculate about her identity.

Therefore, when passing by the old woman, the young generals immediately lowered their heads slightly and retreated to the sides of the road to show respect.

Qian Qian saw these seven or eight young generals out of the corner of his eye. The oldest of them looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old.

The youngest one looked to be only twelve or thirteen years old. [Tongzi, that twelve or thirteen-year-old kid is also wearing the general's court dress.]

The system laughed, [Haha, Qianqian, you can go ask that guy who he is.]

Qian Qian's curiosity was aroused, so he walked up to the boy and took a closer look at the child's appearance.

An idea suddenly occurred to him, "Who are you to Lin Zhi?"

This man looks so much like Lin Zhi, they could be carved from the same mold.

Lin Juechen bowed slightly and said in a childish voice, "To answer your question, Lin Zhi is my great-grandfather."

Qian Qian nodded, "Great-grandfather," she looked at the child, "You look about twelve or thirteen years old, right?"

"Lin Zhi and Xiao Qi, those two old guys, would they let you go to the battlefield at such a young age?"

Lin Juechen paused, his voice hoarse, "My great-grandfather and great-grandmother passed away half a year ago."

Money money...

He clasped his hands behind his back and sighed, "Alas, they left too."

His voice was full of reluctance and sadness. Lin Juechen raised his eyes, quickly glanced at the old man in front of him, and then quickly lowered his head.

After Qianqian felt sad for a short while, he searched around in the space for a while.

Each of the young generals present was rewarded with an ancient weapon. When everyone looked at each other, not knowing whether they should accept the reward, Xiao Ying walked over.

"Since it is a reward from Old Madam Xiao, you can just accept it."

"Yes."

The young generals then accepted the rewards with peace of mind, and each of them held the ancient weapons in their hands and couldn't let go.

[Tongzi, these children are all good kids, right? ]

The system eats melons and distinguishes, [Well, it’s not bad. ]

He paused, [Lin Juechen's father married into the family and had two concubines outside.]

[Those two concubines are ruthless and have hired some extremely powerful martial arts masters to wait outside the palace to ambush Lin Juechen.]

【So,】 Qian Qian frowned, 【will those people succeed? 】

[Yes,] the system said with regret, [Lin Juechen is a truly promising young general. Given time, his future is limitless.]

[However, now that you have reminded him, nothing will happen. ]

[The small countries surrounding Daxia are now Daxia's quasi-territory. ]

Qian Qian curled his lips, [What else? ]

[And that female general, General Zhu Yanqing. ]

[She is Zhu Tiantian's niece's daughter. She is sixteen years old and a talented young general.]

[He has been learning the art of war from Xiao Yan since he was young, and can be said to be no less capable than Lin Juechen. 】

[But, she is a concubine's daughter in the family. ]

[Her mother is proud of suppressing her own daughter. This child grew up in the presence of the mistress of the Zhu family.]

[These few days, her aunt is preparing to arrange Zhu Yanqing's marriage.]

[But Zhu Yanqing wanted to go to war and didn't want to get married at all.]

[The mistress of the Zhu family and Zhu Yanqing's biological father also supported her, so her aunt planned to drug her daughter.]

[On the one hand, it can solve Zhu Yanqing's marriage problem, and on the other hand, it can also use this incident to attack Zhu Yanqing in order to achieve the goal of completely controlling her daughter. ]

Qian Qian's face was full of disgust. Before he could even greet Xiao Ying, he told her what was about to happen to Lin Juechen and Zhu Yanqing.

Xiao Ying's brows were cold and he made arrangements immediately.

Qian Qian looked at her with a smile as she gave orders to the secret guards, her eyes full of love.

After Xiao Ying finished giving his instructions, he reached out and rubbed the little girl's head, "You, child, have really grown up."

Xiao Ying's face turned red, and she lowered her head slightly and stretched out her pink and tender palm towards Qian Qian.

Qianqian didn't understand for a moment, and the system reminded him anxiously, "Gifts, you gave gifts to those young players you met for the first time, so you must give gifts to Ying'er as well."

Money money...

He smiled with his eyes curved and hugged the little girl in his arms.

After a while of curiosity, he searched the space.

Using the backpack as a cover, he handed Xiao Ying a cute little piglet that was shining brightly. "I forced the Imperial Household Department to make this for me when I was a kid."

Xiao Ying's eyes lit up and he took the cute golden pig with both hands.

Blushing, she whispered, "Wow, it's solid."

Money money...

"Hahaha," he laughed a few times and hugged Xiao Ying into his arms again, "Oh, Ying'er, my mother and I have the same hobby. We all like golden things."

As he spoke, he took Xiao Ying's hand and brought him to Fengqi Palace.

"These two items," Qian Qian handed the jade bracelet and the wooden hairpin to Xiao Ying, "are the gifts I want to give you."

Xiao Ying took it and his eyes widened in surprise when he heard the functions of the two objects.
