Fantastical, started with Beiliang, signed with Zhao Gao

Beiliang, Prince Liang's Mansion, the backyard.

"My lord, Lord Dugu is already waiting in the front hall to see you," Shangguan Wan'er said softly to Xia Xian who was playing chess with Jia Xu.

"Okay, come with me too, you need to tell him about his grandson." Xia Xian shuffled the chessboard that was about to lose, and said to Shangguan Wan'er with a smile.

Jia Xu glanced at the chessboard and sighed. If he couldn't find anyone to play chess with, he wouldn't have gone to Xia Xian to play chess. Follow Xia Xian and walk to the front hall

"I've seen King Liang, I've seen Princess Wang, I've seen you, Mrs. Jia." Seeing Xia Xian and the three of them, Dugu Jian immediately bowed to him.

It's no wonder Dugu Jian is so polite, only he is the one who knows Xia Xian's strength best, and also knows how fast Beiliang is developing now.

Leaving aside other things, the current population of Beiliang alone has already doubled several times, and it is still constantly absorbing refugees, and there is no upper limit. He didn't understand why he did these thankless things before, but now he finally You know, the most important things in war are population, food, and weapons.

At that time, when these things flowed into Beiliang in large quantities, he was thinking whether to report Xia Xian for rebellion, but now thinking about it, he must have discovered that there would be a war, so he bought them in advance.

And the one who presided over all this was Jia Xu Jia Wenhe who was smiling and basking in the spring breeze by Xia Xian's side.

"Did Hou Ye come this time for the Northern Expedition?" Xia Xian asked Dugu Jian.

"That's right, based on my understanding of the northern coolness of the prince, I must have full confidence to send troops, so I boldly ask the prince to let me take the Zhenbei army to go north together. In this way, the prince in Xiadu will also have an explanation." Dugu Jian looked at Xia Xian and said solemnly.

"Master Hou is so obsessed with matters related to your family," Xia Xian asked.

"My Dugu family and You Clan are inseparable. I didn't have the opportunity before, but now I have an opportunity. I definitely can't miss it. The You Clan is immortal, and the ancestors of my Dugu Clan will never die with peace." Dugu Jian said with a cold face.

"Yes, but for this expedition, you must obey our arrangement unconditionally, otherwise I won't take you there," Xia Xian said seriously.

Xia Xian must be in command, not because he doesn't believe in Dugu Jian, a lifelong veteran of the military.

And he even believed in Wei Qing, the God of War of the Western Han Dynasty who conquered the Huns seven times and won seven victories. Some people said that he relied on luck, but winning seven times by luck was strength.

Dugu Jian's face darkened when he heard the words, although he had already guessed this possibility, he still said unwillingly, "I don't know who leads the army, but that General Sima who is as famous as Mr. Jia".

"No, but I believe he won't lose to Sima Cuo." Xia Xian said confidently after taking a sip of tea.

"I don't know who the prince is talking about. Although I seldom come to Beiliang, I still know the generals in Beiliang. Apart from General Sima, I don't know who else can beat this old man." Dugu Jian said with a livid face, not convinced.

"Beiliang Weiqing, besides Sima Cuo's Ruishi Battalion, I have a second army in Beiliang. Please keep the news of this army a secret, after all, they haven't formed yet," Xia Xian said with a smile.

"I don't know how many people there are, and what kind of army they are." Dugu Jian asked with a frown. He had never heard of Wei Qing, and he didn't even know that there was a second army in Beiliang.

"Ten thousand, cavalry, and it's still heavy cavalry." Xia Xian tapped his fingers on the table and said lightly.

"Impossible" Dugu Jian said in shock. Heavy cavalry not only have extremely high requirements on horses and weapons, but also soldiers. Under the circumstances of the situation, it is necessary to build a heavy cavalry for ten thousand people.

"Impossible, Master Hou will know it when he sees it," Xia Xian said mysteriously.

"Okay, if the prince really has a cavalry force of ten thousand people, it's fine for me, Dugu Jian, to obey his orders once, but if he is a man of paper, don't blame me for not giving the prince face," Dugu Jian said lightly.

"Yes," Xia Xian nodded in response.

"I don't know how my grandson is doing now." Dugu Jian saw that Xia Xian was full of confidence, so he stopped asking, and asked about his missing grandson.

Xia Xian didn't speak, but picked up the teacup and glanced at Shangguan Wan'er who was sitting beside her.

Speaking of which, he thought it was just a joke that Zhao Gao asked his subordinate Andie to seek refuge with Shangguan Wan'er, and even Shangguan Wan'er didn't take it seriously.

It wasn't until the net set up by Zhao Gaoxin split the dark butterfly into two, and when the information returned to Beiliang first-hand was through Shangguan Wan'er, everyone knew that Zhao Gao was not joking.

Moreover, Shangguan Wan'er didn't know whether it was because of her extraordinary talent, or because she had inherited the good genes of the Shangguan family. Those dazzling and headache-inducing news were as simple as eating in Shangguan Wan'er's hands.

Not only is it easy to filter out important information, but it can also piece together messy information to form new information. Even Jia Xu is amazed by this ability.

Under Jia Xu's recommendation, Shangguan Wan'er formally took over the head of the newly established intelligence department of the Tiance Mansion, managing the assassination net and intelligence dark butterfly.

It can be said that Shangguan Wan'er was pushed by Zhao Gao, and she was pushed to the top decision-making level in Beiliang. Not to mention other things, in terms of power, she has already overwhelmed everyone else.

Nie Zheng alone, and the two of them are tenth-rank great masters, not to mention the Yue girl who is now taking care of the son of Beiliang, that is the truly terrifying existence.

Shangguan Wan'er nodded to Xia Xian, looked at Dugu Jian and said softly, "I hope Lord Hou will not spread the news I heard today."

Although Dugu Jian was curious as to why Shangguan Wan'er was the one who spoke, he didn't ask any further questions. He just nodded and said, "I won't say a single word about today's matter."

"The news sent back by the dark butterfly is that Dugu Xiaohou has become the commander of the bodyguards of Yunguo's consort's mansion. Now not only is there no need to worry about food and clothing, but life is more comfortable than in Duguhou's mansion, so you don't have to worry." Shangguan Wan'er's mouth rose, He said with a smile.

Dugu Jian originally looked at Shangguan Wan'er in surprise when he heard the word "Dark Butterfly". How vicious Gao's vision is, Zhao Gao's position in Beiliang Palace can be said to be unshakable now.

But when he heard that Dugu Yun had become the commander of the bodyguards of Yunguo's concubine's mansion, he even stood up and looked at the calm Xia Xian and Jia Xu with horror on his face. It's just his grandson, he doesn't believe that Nuo Da's Yun Kingdom is just his grandson's hidden stake.

Then he seemed to think of something, and asked Xia Xian with a shocked face, "The son-in-law of Yunguo belongs to you." If the son-in-law was not Xia Xian's, he would not believe that his grandson became the guard of the son-in-law's mansion in less than a year. command.

"Master Hou, be careful with your words," Shangguan Wan'er said with a smile, with the corners of her mouth raised.

At the beginning, she was more surprised than Dugu Jian when she received the information from Yunguo, but now that she knew more, she became numb.

Even the rising Wu Guo Guoshi is from their Prince Liang's Mansion, so it seems that there is nothing surprising about a Yun Guo's son-in-law, that's all.

"Since I know my grandson is fine, I won't bother him. I'll come back tomorrow, so there's no need to send it off." Dugu Jian said with a blank face. What he has to do now is to go home immediately and digest the news he heard today.

"It seems that Dugu Hou Ye was really scared just now." Xia Xian laughed while looking at Dugu Jian who was going away.

"It's not that you said you wanted to tell him the news, I guess you just wanted to see Lord Hou joke on purpose." Shangguan Wan'er rolled Xia Xian's eyes and said coquettishly.

"Jia Xu, you go down first, I have something important to discuss with the concubine." Looking at Shangguan Wan'er's charming eyes, Xia Xian said seriously.

"The world is going down," Jia Xu sighed after closing the door and leaving.
