The playboy daughter is about to turn the sky

Chapter 182 Small Country
"Ye Zhao", no, it should be Si Nan, putting away the human skin mask in his hand.

He stretched his neck, lay lazily on the chaise longue, crossed his feet, and rubbed his forehead.

"As expected of a rare item of tribute from the Western Regions, it's really a fake, it's easy to use, but it's really boring."

Si Nan shook his head regretfully, looked at the flickering candlelight, and looked at the surrounding decorations.

He thought to himself: "This Ye's Fragrance Hall really has a big business. It's just a small attic, but there are so many rare raw materials."

Footsteps sounded, and someone was walking up the attic.

Si Nan's eyes froze, and he didn't have time to take out the human skin mask in his arms, so he took something casually and threw it at the person behind him.

"Pfft!" With a sound, Xiangtang's helper was hit on his knee and fell to the attic.

Fortunately, he was already almost upstairs, and instead of rolling down, most of his body was on the attic, and his two legs fell on the stairs.

"My lord, my lord..."

The helper said tremblingly.

From his perspective, he could only see "Shaodong's family" turning his face slightly to his direction, but most of the faces were still hidden in the darkness and could not be seen clearly.

He heard "Young Master" say coldly: "Get out, don't disturb me!"

"Yes, yes!" Xiangtang's helper agreed, ignoring the sharp pain in his leg, he rolled and climbed down to the attic.

Seeing that the door of Xiangtang was closed, he gave a wry smile, then limped into the secret compartment, found the ointment, rolled up his trousers, revealing a large bruise, he hissed, and took the ointment Apply little by little, and put the legs down when finished.

lost in thought.

His "young club" wasn't like this half a year ago...

Ye's business has always been big, and the most prosperous ones are Ye's Fragrance Hall and Ye's Medical Center. Because they make a lot of money, they will inevitably attract some jealous eyes. , make friends with people, even if others don't like it, they really can't find a place to start.

Until half a year ago...

General Zhou Changxiao was ordered to guard the border bordering the Western Regions. It was a time when the Western Regions were full of grass and horses. As far as poverty is concerned, the military pay allocated by the central government is even more pitiful because of the section after section of exploitation. The border soldiers are already a little tired, and coupled with the constant harassment from the Western Regions, burn your granary today and kill your brother tomorrow Well, grabbing another horse the day after tomorrow will really make the border people miserable.

Fortunately, there were spies who desperately hid the border information from the government, and the nobles who were eyeing the capital all the way to the Palace of Yonghe in the capital.

After reading the secret report, the emperor of Dazhou was furious immediately. He temporarily summoned all the civil and military officials, and threw the secret report on the face of the leading civil official. Corruption, and the corruption is extremely serious, he thought His Majesty would not know about it, but he didn't expect...

Then he was dragged down by the Habayashi guards guarding the Hall of Yonghe. The next day, the civil official's mansion was covered with white ribs.

Kill chickens to warn monkeys. Since then, although some people still want to get rich and dangerous in terms of military pay, they never dare to go too far. Finally, most of the military pay at the border has been saved, but now even if there is more military pay, they have already been squeezed ten times. For many years, the current food and clothing cannot save the sallow and emaciated skin of more than ten years, so His Majesty urgently summoned Zhou Changxiao and his White Tiger Guards to the Western Regions for support.

Zhou Changxiao took orders, from south to west, covering half of the Great Zhou Kingdom, he rushed there overnight, day and night, and arrived in the early morning of the fifth day. He was so bold that he had already been on the road for five full days. Unexpectedly, he didn't rest, but quickly organized the team of soldiers, and then marched all the way into the Western Regions barracks with the flag of the Great Zhou Kingdom.

At that time, the generals of the Western Regions were still in a sweet dream, and they never imagined that the weak soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty who had despised them for many years would come to kill them in the early morning with arrogance.

When they found out that the crisis was coming, Zhou Changxiao was already outside their general tent.

Watching helplessly as Zhou Changxiao raised his saber in his hand and returned triumphantly with the head of their General Changsheng.

Zhou Changxiao obviously didn't want to kill them all. After killing several important generals, he withdrew, leaving the western region barracks in a mess.

The few surviving scouts returned to the Palace of the Western Regions almost crying their ass off, and described to their Artur (the title of the king of the Western Regions) how powerful the Great Zhou Army was that day.

After this battle in the Western Regions, they were indeed frightened for a while.

But Artu obviously didn't believe that the Great Zhou would be so strong, and his counselor also made a plan to say that Zhou Chang Xiao didn't guard here at all, he just came here to save the emergency, and he will go back to the south in a few days, and then go to fight the Great Zhou I was caught off guard.

Altu adopted his suggestion and stood still for more than ten days. Hearing the news that a large number of troops and horses were withdrawing from the border today, he did not hesitate to attack the border of Dazhou.

Unexpectedly, he himself was caught off guard.

Zhou Changxiao was not only there, even his White Tiger Guards were all assembled.

Now the border of Da Zhou is a wall of iron and copper.

So what about the army horses that evacuated in large numbers today?Those are the military horses who originally guarded the border of the Great Zhou!
They have now been transferred by His Majesty to guard the eastern frontier where the climate is mild, facing the sea and where there are few battles.

Because His Majesty thinks that they still need to go to a relatively comfortable place to rest more, so as not to chill Da Zhou.

Altu was almost completely defeated, losing nearly half of his army and horses. He was so angry that he beheaded the counselor who made the plan to calm down the army.

With such a huge loss, it can be said that he has not dared to easily offend the border of the Great Zhou in the past ten years, and he has to be vigilant that Zhou Changxiao's White Tiger Guard will not come to the Western Regions to take advantage of the fire.

However, before Zhou Changxiao came to take advantage of the fire to loot, another small country bordering the Western Regions was originally a subsidiary of the Western Regions. Although the domestic military horses were of high quality, the number was small, and the weather was bad, so it was difficult for crops to survive. Therefore, although their national strength was good , the military horses are strong, but they can’t afford to have nothing to eat, so they can only make friends with the neighboring Western Regions and ask for chestnut grains for food. Artu also grasped their mentality and refused to give them too much chestnut grain If Li Gu was to be exchanged in an extremely unfair way, with the army and horses of that small country, in the long run the small country couldn't bear this kind of wear and tear, so it could only lower its head and attach itself to the Western Regions, so the Western Regions would give them Li Gu fairly, as a feudal country gift.

Even so, the Western Regions still strictly control the number of chestnut grains every year to give the people of small countries a small amount of what they need, and use this as a means to make the small countries more attached to the Western Regions. Not only that, they also changed the conditions, no longer wanting small countries. The most outstanding military general of the small country is required to be used by the Western Regions every year. Therefore, this small country continues to decline under the oppression of the Western Regions. It is true that it is impossible to completely cut off from the Western Regions, and can only be so humblely attached. The king of this small country began to gradually despair. At this time, the appearance of Zhou Changxiao gave him his last hope.
